Magician Job - Cape Town City Centre, WC, 8001

We are looking for an affordable MC/magician for our wedding at the Cape Milner Hotel in Tamboerskloof on 17 July 2021. It will be a small, intimate affair with +/- 40 guests. We would require the MC/magician to entertain the guests while we're busy with our photos - it has to be impromptu with a roaming mike. The MC/magician has to be the glue that brings everyone together and directs the proceedings. The reception will not be a formal, sit-down event, but will take the form of a cocktail party in the Glass Lounge at Cape Milner Hotel. MC/Magician's services will be required from 16:30 (directly after the ceremony) until around 19:00. We would like it to be a relaxed social event, filled with joy, laughter and fun. As there won't be dancing or a DJ, the MC/magician will be the source of entertainment. I can even supply a guest list with a brief description plus a photo of each guest before the event. However, it should not become a "performance show" by the artist - it is still our wedding; our guests and the couple should be the artist's primary goal for the event. I do not want people to remember our wedding as "the magic show by XXYYY" but as G & E's wedding where they had so much fun. I interviewed another magician a few days ago. I immediately got the impression that he wanted to take centre stage and use it for self-promotion and personal aggrandisement. Obviously, I would be very happy if there are spin-offs for the artist from the event, but that should be the secondary goal.
