Wedding season is well and truly here and over the last few days I've been doing my wedding magic in Reading and Southampton. It's always a pleasure to perform in Reading as it's only a few minutes drive from my home in Wokingham - but Southampton is a bit further to go and luckily the reception that I got made it all worthwhile. I had been booked as a surprise by the bride's mother and no-one else knew that I was going to be there, which certainly added an interesting twist to things. Luckily everyone loved it and one of the guests has already enquired about booking me for their wedding later this year! The hotel used for the wedding reception had arranged everything perfectly, the weather was good (after thunderstorms the night before) and everyone was in a great mood. There was also a glass elevator on the outside of the hotel and the photographer got some rather unusual shots of the bride and groom travelling up and down inside it, which will be interesting for the wedding album. I was also rather stunned by the cruise liner docked just across the road from the hotel - it was absolutely massive and towered over everything, an amazing sight. I then drove back to Reading for Nikki and Martin's wedding at the Crowne Plaza where the party was in full swing. A particular highlight was meeting someone who said "You'd better be good, I've seen Dynamo". I thought he meant on TV (as booking a personal appearance by Dynamo himself costs many thousands of pounds) but it turned out he was school friends with footballer Theo Walcott, had been invited to Theo's birthday party and Theo, on his footballer's wages, could easily afford Dynamo's fee! This certainly put the pressure on a bit so I went straight into one of my strongest magical routines. I put a playing card face down on the table, asked him to name any card and then had him turn over the card on the table - it was the card he'd just named. That's some powerful magic right there! He was suitably impressed and asked for two business cards, one for himself and one to pass on to Theo for when he has another party.
If you've got a party coming up and can't afford Dynamo then give me a ring!
