Is anyone having a magician?

Just wondering if anyone had been to a wedding where there was a magician at the drinks reception. I've hired and 'upclose' magician on the recommendation of a friend and I'm just wondering now if it was a good idea?

my guests would love a magician and not a string quartet or a stand up comedien so think about wot u want, what your guests wud like dont just do wot others have said wud b a good idea
its your day xx
drinks reception will have photos taken and might be a waste of money, during the meal people will be catching up with family/friends, after the meal maybe but then the guests arrive for the evening...again more catching up, then first dance.
hmmmmm, do like the idea though.
macymum, our drinks reception will last approx 2 hours and I thought it might be a good ice breaker for guests while the bridal party are off getting photos taken. Our guests are from all walks of life, so its hard to tell how it will go down with them! I was just concerned as I read comments elsewhere theat were quite negative about magicians etc making a wedding like a corporate event!

Ask yourself why Derren Brown is still single!!
Anyway- each to their own - just not for me.

Derren Brown is gay and has a partner as far as I'm aware. I must say I find him quite charismatic. David Blaine is a bit creepy though.
I'm sure my guest are capable of conversation but after 2 hours it might become a little tiresome. I thought perhaps a magician might break the ice between groups of people who don't know each other and provide another source of 'small talk'
It's useful to hear differing perspectives!

i think you need to see anyone you may consider booking in action first and if you feel the are not for you then nothing lost.
the guy i'm having is John Hotowka - wedding magician.
