The Complete Guide to Wedding Magic is a Four DVD set consisting of nineteen full magic routines, all scripted around the theme of love.
These routines have been prepared to fit into the three types of wedding magic (Table, Parlour & Reception) so that you will be completely prepared for whatever type of entertainment you need to provide.
Each routine is accompanied by a live performance at Illusions Magic Bar to a real audience before a full explanation which includes a complete breakdown of the moves and sleights involved. Many of these routines are Stephen’s original creations and include several effects that have won him numerous magic competitions over the last few years.
This is then followed by a fourth DVD where he and several other magicians discuss how to work a wedding, along with how to get the work through wedding fayres.
This is the ultimate guide on entertaining at weddings as a professional magician.
