Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, and Leeds is one of my busiest areas for weddings. With over 30 years of experience and over 1,000 weddings across the UK, I'm a former Magic Circle Young Magician of the Year winner and I've appeared on BBC One, Channel 5 and Sky.
Leeds Wedding Magician
Leeds and West Yorkshire have some spectacular wedding venues, and I'm a regular performer at many of them. From The Queens Hotel and Rudding Park to Harewood House, Hazlewood Castle and dozens more — I know the local venues inside out.
I cover all of Leeds and West Yorkshire including Harrogate, Wetherby, Ilkley, Wakefield and surrounding areas. Travel is included in my quote. See my main wedding magician page for more about what I do at weddings.
Your Leeds Wedding Day
Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and I understand how much planning goes into making it perfect. Close-up magic adds something truly special — it's personal, interactive, and creates genuine moments of amazement that your guests will be talking about for years.
The Drinks Reception
This is the most popular time for wedding magic. While you're having photos taken, your guests are waiting — and that's exactly when magic works best. I mingle through the groups, performing right in people's hands. It breaks the ice between families meeting for the first time, fills the gap naturally, and creates a fantastic atmosphere before you sit down to eat.
The Wedding Breakfast
Table magic between courses is a brilliant addition. While guests wait for food to arrive, I visit each table and perform close-up — cards, coins, mind reading, fork bending — all just inches from their hands. It keeps energy high and gives every table a personal experience.
The Evening Reception
If you're having an evening party, close-up magic during the first hour is perfect. It entertains the evening guests while the day crowd winds down, and gets everyone mingling before the band or DJ takes over.
Leeds Wedding Venues I've Performed At
I've been lucky enough to perform at many of the area's best wedding venues including The Queens Hotel, The Mansion at Roundhay Park, Rudding Park, Oulton Hall, Harewood House, Hazlewood Castle, Bowcliffe Hall, Wood Hall Hotel and many more.
