Your Kent Wedding - Page number 66 - July/August 2021 (Issue 97)

66 IT’S MAGIC YOU KNOW Stephen James is a professional close-up magician. A proud member of The Magic Circle, he’ll amaze your guests in a drinks reception mix-and-mingle environment, as well as table hopping at the wedding breakfast. Most weeks Stephen can be found performing at weddings, astounding guests with close-up feats. Everyone will enjoy seeing impossible things happen with cards, money, fire and items borrowed from amongst their number. The act is a very interactive and personal experience for all, as guests watch each other being influenced or having their minds read. In fact, while you’re mingling or off for a photo shoot, you should be able to hear the gasps, laughter and applause as he works the room.
