Mark Waddington

Mark Waddington is a Yorkshire wedding magician who specialises in relaxed, modern close up magic during drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and the room turnaround before the evening reception. He has entertained at more than 1,700 weddings over about 20 years and is an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star. He works at venues across Yorkshire, including York, Harrogate, Leeds, Whitby and Scarborough. Wedding magic starts from £495, and a typical price scale runs between £400 and £1,200 depending on the day. He also offers a private performance just for the couple. The aim is magic that breaks the ice between guests who may not know each other and gives them a talking point, without stealing the spotlight from the day. For larger weddings he notes that not every guest can be reached individually, but the magic tends to spread quickly through the room.
