I have my next magic job - I'm doing a wedding. Having normally done children's parties in the past, I am rather unsure as to what to do when approaching the tables (I am doing magic in between meals).

I am hoping to get any tips from all of you guys - you "seasoned pros"

Thanks in advance!

i am in no way a seasoned pro...but here's some ideas...

a cup and ball routine but with the little figures that you get on top of the wedding cake? (but dont pinch 'em eh...)

get some blank faced cards and use elements from the wedding vows?

LOVE/HONOUR/ and gulp...OBEY and some D-lifts and so on?

sponge ball but sneak in a hand full of confetti at the end?

...knife through wedding cake then into belly?

People at weddings, sat down, know exactly whats coming if walk up with a deck of bikes in hand.

I simply introduce myself and mention that while you're waiting for next course I'm gonna show you a few tricks. You'll get a few "ooohs"

Use the table as much as you can, and if possible get peole involved, making lots of noise, this gets people from other tables interested, Ive had people all crowd around one table just from the noise they were making!

hope this helps

Have you heard of Rocky? that one always goes over well at all our shows. really gets the rooms attention!

Remember, wedding receptions tend to contain random drunks with no responsibilities. So, while you're judging the room, stick to nice ladies in flowery hats and get a few rounds of applause before going to the false footballers in the sharp suits and daft haircuts at the back. When you do, a few outs for the inevitable clever sod to show him up in front of his mates is a great idea.
