The act
Josh Staley: Conjuror is a Melbourne-based magician.
While your wedding guests are getting to know each other, a little magic happening in their own hands could give them something to share. Josh Staley combines comedy with sleight of hand, moving among guests for close magic or gathering everyone for an interactive performance. Card tricks and mind reading feature in his mingling work, while the show makes audience participation part of the entertainment. You can also combine the two formats, starting with individual encounters before bringing your guests together for the larger show. For a couple who want laughter and shared astonishment woven into the celebration, his approach gives guests an active part in it.

Good to know
What to expect
Sleight of hand you genuinely can't follow, and comedy in between so the room's laughing as much as it's baffled. Josh Staley placed in the top twelve globally for close-up magic at the World Championships of Magic, holds the Australian Champion of Magic title and a Guinness World Record, and the tricks are pitched at that level. It works at a small private party and it works at a gala. Card work, mentalism, close-up illusions happening in your guests' hands rather than on a distant stage.
On the day
Barely anything, and often nothing at all. The mingling format in particular needs no stage and no sound gear. Josh sorts the specifics with you once the venue and format are settled.
Performance options
Two formats, and you can have both. Mingling magic sends Josh through the crowd doing close-up work in your guests' own hands, which is a good ice-breaker early on and needs no stage or sound system. The show gathers everyone at once, running through illusions, mind reading and audience interaction with the comedy holding it together. Put them in that order and the entertainment covers the whole night, up close first, then the room together.
Insurance and paperwork
