Ian Suche The Magician

FAQs

Generally for an event such as a wedding or corporate event, 2 hours of magic is sufficient to cover the recpetion period, introducing people to each other and breaking the ice followed by table magic inbetween the meals. Nothing worse than being asked to 'pick a card' whilst you are popping a potato in your mouth!

Sometimes folks like to have a stand up piece of magic in the beginning or end of the evening after dinner. This may be entertainment on it's own, or after some close up magic. My advice is not to have a show too late as guests are usuually happy to chat amongst themselves and also on occasions, guests have inbibed a fair quantity of alchol and this makes concentration a little difficult!

If you are wondering when to have a magician at a wedding, my experience is at the reception, when folks are meeting eachother for the first time perhaps, and it helps breaks the ice. It also fills the gaps when the couple are having photos taken. This would be then follwed by magic inbetween the meals. On a number of  occasions I have been asked to do the post-reception celebrations. That is fine too, but definitely before the disco starts!
