For couples
Your happiest day,
accompanied by Magic, Mind & aMore.
Almost every wedding has the same gap: the couple are off with the photographer, the guests are standing around. Mind magic fills exactly that stretch – and afterwards your guests know each other.
The couple disappear with the photographer, and eighty guests stand there with a glass in their hand, not knowing one another.
Entertainment at the (standing) tables is made for exactly that situation. I move from table to table, ten to fifteen minutes a round – and afterwards your guests are guaranteed to be deep in conversation about it. By the end of the hour, little clusters have turned into conversations.
For the evening I mainly offer a stand-alone stage show: 25 to 30 minutes in which all your guests share the same moment – usually placed just before the first dance, the highlight of the evening. Anyone who would rather have short table pieces between the courses can have that instead – with no technical requirements at all, but in shorter, five-minute moments per table. For the evening the two rule each other out: you choose one of the two forms. And for both: no doves, no top hats, no kitsch.
The daytime drinks reception and the evening programme are two separate building blocks – each bookable on its own. You can choose just the table-to-table part at the reception, just the evening – or both together, in my experience the loveliest combination for a wedding day. So we decide together which form best suits your day and when the right moment for it is.
What matters on a wedding day
The centrepiece: a stand-alone stage show
25 to 30 minutes for all your guests at once, ideally placed before the first dance – for that I need a clearly visible space of at least three by three metres (more is welcome), a headset microphone for me and a handheld microphone for the guests I work with, plus the means to play in additional audio sources and an undisturbed room to withdraw to before the performance and during breaks.
Whoever joins in is the hero of the evening
Everyone should enjoy the show – laughter and second thoughts are expressly welcome. Whoever joins in is the only one who gets to experience for themselves what seemed impossible; everyone else merely watches and has to believe what they saw. A one-off opportunity – entirely without wagers or jokes at the couple’s expense.
Made for the photo gap and the drinks reception
I move from (standing) table to (standing) table and entertain your guests for ten to fifteen minutes each with mind-magic experiments. It does not get any closer than this.
Breaks the ice between the families
Two families who do not know each other have something to talk about after being astonished together.
Works outdoors too
The table entertainment works in the garden, in a courtyard and anywhere else without a stage.
How it works
How an evening like this comes about
- Beforehand
We work out where in the day there is still time missing for conversation, and whether you would like a stage show or short table pieces for the evening.
- Drinks reception
Entertainment at the (standing) tables, from group to group, while you are with the photographer.
- After the main course
The stage block: 25 to 30 minutes, ideally placed before the first dance – the highlight of the evening. Alternatively short table pieces between the courses are possible, with no technical requirements at all.
What people said afterwards
“The gap between the reception and dinner was the part we dreaded most. It turned into the part our guests still talk about today.”

Wedding in the Remstal valley
“My father wanted no speeches and no surprises. He got both - and he never even noticed.”

“Three courses, and between each one something that simply cannot be. The evening had paid for itself before dessert arrived.”

Wedding in Stuttgart and the surrounding region
I am regularly on the road in Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg, Esslingen, Waiblingen, Backnang and everywhere around. If your venue is not on the list, ask anyway – further afield is possible by arrangement.
Questions about wedding bookings
Does it still work once people have had a drink?
Yes, as a rule it works even better – a relaxed audience often joins in more readily. Only if someone has clearly had too much do I deliberately pick a different person to work with.
When in the day is the best moment?
For the stage block, after the main course and shortly before the first dance has proved best – for the table entertainment, the drinks reception while you are with the photographer. We agree the exact moment together, to fit your running order.
Does it work outdoors as well?
The table entertainment at the drinks reception works perfectly well in a garden or a courtyard. The stage show needs a weatherproof setting with power – we discuss that beforehand, depending on the venue.
Will our guests be made a fool of?
No. Nobody has to come forward who would rather not, and there is no punchline at a guest’s expense – anyone who joins in comes out looking better than before, not worse.
Can you weave in our own story?
Gladly, within reason: small personal details can be built in without the evening turning into a stage show about you – I discuss that with you beforehand.
Is this one of the shows from your website?
Not directly – for your occasion I devise a show of its own. Alternatively one of my stage shows from the Magic, Mind & More series can be booked, see “Shows”. We discuss together which suits you better.
What do I need for the stage show – equipment, space?
A clearly visible space of at least three by three metres (more is welcome), a headset and a handheld microphone, the means to play in additional audio sources, and an undisturbed room to withdraw to before the performance and during breaks – we settle all the details together beforehand.
How does booking work – what is included in the price?
After our first conversation you receive a written confirmation by email with the date, the place, the show and the fee – which doubles as the booking confirmation. It covers the fee as well as travel costs and, where needed, accommodation – for me and, if an assistant is required, for them too. Once the date is three months away, a deposit of 50% falls due; the rest is payable after the performance. The exact terms are set out in my AGB (in German).
