A chosen card, a wallet and a phone. Watch closely.
What your guests experience
Magic that happens in your guests' own hands
This is close-up magic, performed among your guests rather than on a stage, so every group gets its own show. The best moments happen in their own hands and on their own phones.
The card in their camera roll
A guest chooses a card and it vanishes. Moments later it turns up in a photo on their own phone.
The word they only thought of
A guest picks any word from a dictionary and keeps it to themselves. I tell them what it is.
The drawing that rings
A drawing of a phone turns into a real one, ready for a call.
Every group gets something different, a little sleight of hand with cards, rings and phones and a little mind reading, so your guests compare notes for the rest of the day.
Your wedding day
The moments in between
The big moments look after themselves. It is the waiting in between, while you have your photographs taken or the room is turned round, that your guests remember. These are the parts of the day where I make the biggest difference, and I fit round your timings and your venue.
Drinks reception
While you have your photographs taken
Your guests are standing in small groups with a drink, and many of them have never met. I go from group to group, so strangers have something to talk about straight away.
Wedding breakfast
Your meal, in peace
I do not perform during the wedding breakfast or the speeches. Your guests enjoy the meal and every toast, and I pick up again in the gaps around it.
Room turnaround
While the room is turned round
There is often a gap while the venue resets the room for the evening. I keep your guests entertained, so the energy of the day does not drop.
Evening reception
As your evening guests arrive
Guests joining for the evening walk in to find something already happening. A few minutes of magic brings them straight into the day.
First dance and after
When the dancing starts
Close-up magic is hard to enjoy over loud music, so this is where I hand over. The Magic Mirror photo booth and Mark's wedding disco keep the party going to the last song.
How long to book me for
Many couples book me for two hours, timed round the parts of the day that matter most to them, such as the drinks reception or the evening. The All Day Magic Experience gives you five hours of magic around the key moments of your day. Tell me your timings when you check your date and I will suggest what works.
See it for yourself
Watch me read a mind
Two clips of the mind reading, each one a whole trick from start to finish. If you would rather it happened to you, ask me for a free trick over the phone, or meet me in person for a demo, before you book.
Mind reading, close up.
A word from a book, read from a guest's mind.

What couples say about the magic
Over 500 couples have left me five-star reviews on Trustist, and 218 on Google.
Had David for our wedding the magic and mind reading was fantastic he left all our guests speechless I would highly recommend MKP entertainment for any celebration I would definitely book him again thank you David for making our day magical.
David performed at our wedding to entertain our guests during photos. He then provided the photo mirror in the evening. His magic was superb and left many guests puzzled on how he did them.
My mind is still blown and our wedding was over a week ago! Best magician for any event, he did a mini performance for the children which they loved as well as astounding all our guests. Once we moved onto the evening, David stayed manning the magic mirror photo booth and we had an album to take away right away which was a joy to go through.
