Atlanta Wedding Magician for Cocktail Hour
Between the ceremony and the reception, your guests are mingling while the two of you take photos. It’s a long stretch of standing around with a drink, and it’s the best time in the whole day to have a magician.
Rich Crawford strolls through your cocktail hour performing mind reading and close-up magic right in your guests’ hands. People who have never met end up laughing together, and they’re still talking about it when dinner starts.
It’s the same strolling magic Atlanta companies hire Rich for, scaled down to a wedding crowd: warm, funny, and made for everyone from grandparents to the groom’s college friends.
Why couples book a cocktail hour magician
- Guests have something to do. Magic gives people a reason to talk to each other, which helps when two families are meeting for the first time.
- It fills the gap. While you’re taking photos, the room stays lively instead of drifting to their phones.
- It fits any setting. Garden, ballroom, brick loft or rooftop, Rich works wherever your guests are standing.
- It becomes the story people tell. Guests remember the moment a card turned up in their own hand long after the playlist is forgotten.
What to expect
Rich moves from group to group during your cocktail hour, performing card magic, mentalism and comedy for small circles of guests. Each group gets its own mini show, so nobody has to crowd around a single spot. Rich performs during the cocktail hour, while guests mingle between the ceremony and the reception.
Rich also performs at corporate events and private parties. When you check availability, just tell him your date and where the cocktail hour will be.
