Your wedding day is a series of beautiful, busy moments, and a few quieter ones in between. While you are away having photographs taken, or as guests wait between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast, David Linacre keeps the celebration alive with close-up magic performed right in your guests’ hands.
A member of The Magic Circle, David has performed at weddings across Sheffield and Yorkshire, from intimate countryside ceremonies to grand receptions. His magic breaks the ice between families meeting for the first time, fills the natural gaps in the day, and gives everyone a shared moment of wonder to talk about.

The most popular time for close-up magic is immediately after the ceremony, during the drinks reception, when it keeps guests entertained and relaxed while the wedding party is away for photographs. It works beautifully through the wedding breakfast too, moving between tables as guests wait between courses. And as the evening reception begins, it is the perfect way to welcome your evening guests and warm the room, bridging the natural lull between the meal and the first dance. David will help you find the moments that suit your day best.
The intimacy of close-up magic lets David make it feel like part of your celebration, not an add-on. He takes time with every group, from the youngest guests to the grandparents, and where it fits he will weave in a personal touch for the couple or a guest of honour.

A blend of classic sleight of hand with cards, coins and borrowed rings, and strikingly modern mind reading and tech magic, where impossible moments happen on a guest’s own phone without David ever touching it. Every routine is tailored to your day. See Close-Up Magic for more.
David has performed at many venues across the Yorkshire region including Whitley Hall, Wortley Hall, Aston Hall, Rudding Park, Sitwell Arms, Kenwood Hall Hotel, The Mansion (Leeds) and Oulton Hall, to name but a few.
