My home county

Wedding magician in Derbyshire

I am David, a wedding magician and mentalist based near Chesterfield, and Derbyshire is my home county. Whether you are marrying in Derby, at a country house near Matlock or Bakewell, or high in the Peak District, your venue is a short drive from my door, on roads I know well.

About 25 miles by road from Chesterfield to the centre of Derby, without leaving the county.

Your wedding day

What a local magician means for your day

Being based near Chesterfield means a Derbyshire wedding never starts with a long journey for me. I arrive in good time, set up without any fuss and am ready for your guests as soon as the drinks reception begins. On the morning of your wedding, your entertainment being stuck in traffic is one less thing to worry about.

Close to home, I have performed at the Casa Hotel and the Ringwood Hall Hotel in Chesterfield. Wherever you marry in the county, from a hotel in Derby to a country house in the Dales, the magic is the same: sleight of hand and mind reading, a few inches in front of your guests and often in their own hands.

You can book me for the part of the day that suits you: the drinks reception, the gaps around the wedding breakfast, the evening, or all of it in one booking. Send me your venue and your timings with your date, and I will plan the magic around them.

Reviews

What couples say about the magic

EXCELLENT. We booked David for my daughter's wedding best decision. It was a surprise he was great professional from arriving. The photos don't do his magic any justice. In these shots my daughter's engagement ring was placed in a bag of several other rings and popped in a pocket and reappeared in a sealed envelope elsewhere.
