WEDDING MAGIC

It’s the biggest party you will ever throw. Make it one everybody will remember!

Braden Carlisle is a Colorado-based wedding magician who works the room while your photographer works the light. Strolling close-up magic through your cocktail hour, moving group to group so the whole room is laughing together before dinner is even called, all built around your timeline, your venue, and your guests. Even the skeptics.

What It Looks Like

Strolling Magic for Your Cocktail Hour

Keep Guests Entertained During Photos

While you are off taking photos, your guests are standing around with drinks. Braden moves through the crowd in small groups, so the room is laughing together within minutes instead of waiting on dinner.

Add Excitement Before Dinner

Cocktail hour is the part of your day guests remember most, and the easiest place to add something unexpected. Braden fills it with close-up magic in small groups, so the room is buzzing when dinner is called and still buzzing after it.

Special Performance for the Bride and Groom

When you are ready, Braden steps aside with the two of you for a private piece of magic, the kind of moment that is just for the newlyweds. He stays out of the frame unless you want him in it.
