When planning your wedding, you want every moment to feel special, exciting, and memorable. While live music and DJs keep the energy high, there’s one form of entertainment that truly wows your guests and creates lasting memories—a stage magic show!
A professional magician can bring mystery, amazement, and laughter to your big day with a high-energy stage performance that involves your guests and, of course, the newlyweds! But when is the best time to add a stage magic show to your wedding? Let’s explore the perfect moments for a little wedding day wonder.
1. After the Wedding Speeches (A Magical Transition to the Celebration)
Wedding speeches are heartfelt and meaningful, and if you have a great bridal party they're also hilarious and engaging. After sitting through emotional toasts, your guests are ready for something fun and exciting before the dance floor opens.
This is a great time (after a mini bathroom break) for a stage magic show!
🔹 A 10-15 minute performance filled with mind-blowing illusions, comedy, and audience participation can instantly lift the energy in the room and get guests engaged in the celebration.
A magician will often involve the bride and groom in a special trick, symbolizing their new life together in a way that’s both entertaining and memorable.
✅ Best for: Bringing energy back to the room and kicking off the night’s entertainment.
2. As an Evening Highlight Before the Party Begins
Once dinner is over and guests are ready for the night’s entertainment, a stage magic show can serve as a main event before the party gets started.
🔹 Imagine a high-impact, interactive show that amazes the entire room—followed immediately by the DJ turning up the music and the dance floor coming to life.
This setup works especially well if you’re looking for something unique and engaging to add to the entertainment lineup before the big party atmosphere takes over.
✅ Best for: Giving guests a memorable and fun experience before the late-night dancing.
3. A Late-Night Surprise Performance
For couples who want to keep the energy high all night, a stage magic show can serve as a mid-reception surprise.
🔹 If you’re planning a long wedding celebration, guests might start feeling a little tired later in the evening.
A magician can take the stage with a high-energy, fast-paced performance that re-energizes the crowd before the final round of dancing. It can serve as a way to cap off the night for those who prefer to leave instead of dancing.
✅ Best for: Reigniting the energy later in the night and keeping guests entertained.
Why a Stage Magic Show is the Perfect Wedding Entertainment
A live stage magic show isn’t just about tricks—it’s about uniting the most important people in your life and giving them an entertaining experience that will further solidify how amazing your wedding was. Unlike traditional wedding entertainment, a magician offers:
✨ A unique experience: Not just another DJ or band—this is something your guests will remember.
🎤 Audience participation: A chance to get guests involved and engaged in the fun.
📸 Amazing photo opportunities: Reactions of surprise and delight make for unforgettable wedding photo
🎭 Versatility: Can be lighthearted and funny, romantic and sentimental, or high-energy and dramatic—tailored to match your wedding vibe.
No matter when you choose to schedule a stage magic show at your wedding, it’s guaranteed to be a highlight of the night!
If a stage show is not suitable for your planned night of events, then walkaround magic throughout the night is a great option (or addition) that keeps your guests entertained inbetween meals, speeches and other events so the vibe never wanes.

So, you’re planning a party—maybe a birthday, anniversary, or a private house party. You’ve got the food, drinks, and music sorted. But what about entertainment that will truly wow your guests?
That’s where a professional magician comes in!
I’m David Ung, a professional magician based in Sydney, Australia, and I specialize in making events fun, engaging, and unforgettable. Whether you want to create a lively atmosphere, break the ice between guests, or give people something extra to enjoy, magic is the perfect entertainment choice.
But what exactly does a magician do at a party? Let’s break it down.
1. Walkaround Magic – Entertainment That Comes to You
When you're at a party your guests will grab a drink and find a spot to plonk themselves down and begin enjoying their time with as little movement as possible except when they need to for cake cutting, to get food or find the bathroom. Unlike stage performers who stay in one spot, a magician at a private event moves from group to group, performing close-up magic that happens right in the hands of your guests.
From mind-blowing sleight of hand to impossible feats of mind reading, your guests will get a front-row seat to the magic—no matter where they are at the party! Plus your guests can remain where they are, keeping them comfortable and astonished!
2. Breaking the Ice & Bringing People Together
Not all guests know each other, and for some, striking up a conversation can be awkward. That’s where a magician like me comes in.
Magic is a natural icebreaker, helping strangers bond over shared moments of amazement and laughter. When I perform, I engage guests, encourage interaction, and get people talking—even the shy ones, and if they don't want to talk, then they've got something to do in watching me perform.
3. Giving Guests Something Extra to Do
At most parties, guests chat, grab a drink, and wait for food, then eat the food before repeating the cycle. But what if you could give them something more interactive and unforgettable?
With a magician, guests won’t just be standing around—they’ll be fully engaged, reacting, and laughing as they experience impossible magic happening right in front of them.
This makes your event stand out from the usual gatherings and gives guests a unique experience they’ll talk about for weeks or even years!
4. Ensuring Everyone Has an Amazing Time
As a host, you want to make sure everyone at your event is enjoying themselves. But you can’t be everywhere at once, making sure every guest is entertained.
As a magician, I make sure everyone—young and old—is included. Whether they’re in the mood for interactive tricks or prefer to watch from the sidelines, I create a fun, relaxed, and magical atmosphere for all that allows you to focus on other things and enjoy your event.
I'm like a party guest that wants to talk to everyone and make them feel welcomed by sharing magic with them.
5. Creating Lasting Memories
Long after the party ends, what do guests remember most? The experience.
Magic isn’t just about tricks—it’s about creating unforgettable moments that stay with your guests long after the night is over. With jaw-dropping illusions, laughter, and shared amazement, your event won’t be just another party—it’ll be THE party people talk about, until the next party you organise!

1. Unique & Memorable Entertainment
Your wedding should stand out, and magic offers a one-of-a-kind experience that goes beyond traditional entertainment. While DJs and live music set the mood, magic brings surprise, excitement, and wonder, keeping guests entertained in a way they’ll never forget.
Imagine this: Your friends and family are seated and waiting in-between meals while enjoying the evening, when suddenly, I perform an a close up show right before their eyes. The gasps, the laughter, and the shared amazement create unforgettable moments that guests will be talking about long after the wedding.

2. Effortless Flow & Stress-Free Entertainment
Weddings don’t always go exactly as planned—there may be delays, last-minute changes, or moments where guests are waiting between events, and to be honest, no wedding ever runs perfectly to schedule. That’s where flexible, seamless entertainment makes all the difference.
As an experienced roaming magician in Sydney, I adapt to the flow of your wedding, ensuring there’s never a dull moment.

By having a magician like David who can work around your schedule and adjust on the fly, you’ll enjoy a stress-lesser wedding knowing that your guests are looked after and so are you.
3. Bringing Guests Together Through Interaction
One of the biggest challenges of any wedding is getting guests to mix and mingle. Your wedding brings together family, friends, and colleagues who may not know each other well. Magic is the perfect icebreaker.
As a wedding magician, I specialize in close-up, interactive magic that brings people together. Whether it’s a mind-blowing card trick at a dinner table or an impossible illusion performed in a small group, magic creates shared moments of amazement that spark conversation and connection.
Magic encourages laughter, interaction, and engagement, helping create a warm and lively atmosphere throughout the night, plus an extra talking point as your guests fondly reminisce about your wedding day.
