DALLAS' FAVORITE WEDDING MAGICIAN
"For the most magical day of your life!"
Imagine this. You walk into your wedding venue and see your best friend trying to help your coworkers stump a mind reader. You are startled by a scream of delight from your cousin who just had something vanish from his hands! You look over and see your sorority sisters laughing side by side with your parents! Sound too good to be true? Wedding Magician Anthony Dempsey makes it all possible!
I always hear the same thing from the guests... ”I wish we could've had you for our wedding!”
Wedding surveys show that after “I do", 81% of guests say that the entertainment is what they remember most about the wedding they attended.
Did you know?
Why should we hire a wedding magician?
Look at it this way: your wedding is likely the biggest party of your lives. No future birthday, anniversary, or graduation could ever measure up to the time and effort you put into your wedding day. Don't you think your wedding guests should be entertained at this incredible celebration? Not everyone likes to dance, which makes a wedding magician a great alternative to ensure those guests still have a great time!
We've all been to weddings that start off great, but after the ceremony, quickly become boring. The bridal party is taking pictures; leaving your guests to stand around waiting in a room full of people they probably have never met. These people consist of four main groups: Your friends and family, and your partner's friends and family. These people usually don't know each other very well. You're so busy enjoying your wedding day that you don't have time to introduce them all; let Anthony break the ice for you!
Anthony's close up magic routines are designed to engage your wedding guests and use as many of them as possible with his effects. Not only is this a great way to help people mingle but it also makes your wedding stand out from all the others that they have ever attended!
What does a wedding magician do?
A wedding magician makes the couple the star of the show, both figuratively or literally if they want! Anthony goes to each person, group, or table and delivers a personal magic experience of fast-paced witty entertainment. This helps your wedding guests to mix and mingle in a fun and memorable way- Anthony is essentially an entertaining ice breaker!
Each group gets the option of choosing what they want to see; either sleight of hand, mind reading, or the most popular option- both!
Some of the most popular effects include reading your guests' minds, sleight of hand, objects appearing and vanishing in someone’s hand, amazing card magic, and much more! You’ll hear laughter, you’ll see smiles, and minds will be blown!
When does a wedding magician perform?
The cocktail hour is typically the time when the bridal party is off taking photos, leaving the guests to play the waiting game while having drinks. This is a crucial time when people usually don’t interact with anyone they don’t know- allow your wedding magician to introduce the different groups together through the power of laughter and astonishment! Anthony's main goal is to keep the excitement of the day at a peak!
Already got your pictures out of the way? Not a problem, Anthony offers an after dinner show for the whole crowd! He also offers table to table performances for a more intimate experience. Whatever the request may be, Wedding Magician Anthony Dempsey has the perfect match for your needs!
After dinner or during the dancing portion of the evening is also a great time for wedding guests to experience some magic. Not everyone dances, so this is a great option for those people to have something fun to do. You can easily find out which option works best for your wedding day by getting in touch with Anthony!
Testimonials
“I hired Anthony to perform at my daughter's wedding. Our venue had implemented strict restrictions regarding social distancing and I needed something that could entertain our guests and keep them seated at their tables during the reception. Anthony's show far exceeded what I hoped it would be. He was funny, clever and professional. Not one "trick" went wrong. He was able to include the bride and groom, members of the wedding party and special guests in several portions, making the whole performance seem personalized and as if it was created just for them. It was such a unique and memorable experience! All the guests raved about it. With guests in ages ranging from children, to young adults, to middle aged and great-grandparents, it was something for everyone! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”

"Anthony is THE BEST!! He is so skillful, professional and FUN! Our wedding guests LOVED Anthony's performances and kept telling us how Anthony really helped take our cocktail hour / wedding reception to the next level! We cannot say enough great things about Anthony; we definitely recommend him to all!"
- Victoria P.
"Anthony is not only friendly and fun to work with, but he is truly good at what he does. He’s incredibly easy to get along with, which makes him the perfect icebreaker for large social gatherings! Anthony entertained our guests for our cocktail hour and reception. He floated around between guests and groups, and got people talking that normally might not have. We had a large group, with people all across the board: introverts, extroverts, loud, shy, dancers, non-dancers... you name it. It was so nice to have someone there that could engage with everyone. It let us enjoy our evening more knowing our guests had a great time! And he didn’t have to use any rainbow scarves or rabbits to make it happen." - Rachel L.
“Anthony helped some of my shy wedding guests come out of their shell and have fun! I'm really glad we decided to hire him. Having him entertain our guests made our special day even more special! I'm so glad that we chose Anthony to be our wedding magician!”

"Anthony was the magician for my clients' New Year's Eve wedding. He was so, SO fantastic. Arrived early, tried to help with set up (!) and dressed impeccably. The guests enjoyed him so much - the hit of the night! Anthony is super personable and I swear he performs real magic! Thank you so much for being so incredibly easy to work with! Highly recommend his services. Looking forward to our next event together!"
- Linda L.
" I had no idea of what to expect or how having Anthony at my daughter's wedding reception might be received. But he was absolutely amazing, an absolute hit! Everyone was blown away by his magic, personality and performance. Through out the whole process he was always there to answer questions, make recommendations and in the end, no matter what type of event you are having--- you want him as part of your entertainment. Totally professional and personable. We will definitely be using him again. You can't go wrong!"
- Michael M.
" I can’t say enough about Anthony. I had multiple entertainers at my wedding and he was by far the most professional from the beginning. I do not have one regret about hiring him to perform at my wedding, he was worth every penny and more! Not only are we still blown away wondering how he did everything that he did, he was hilarious through the whole show. If you are even considering hiring him as your wedding magician, don’t think twice .. you will not regret it!"
- Brandi B.
"We LOVED having Anthony as our wedding magician! We hired Anthony and his friend Brian to both perform strolling magic during our wedding cocktail hour and it was a hit. We have heard so much great feedback from our guests in the weeks since the wedding that they loved the magicians and how they’d never seen something like that at a wedding before but LOVE it. Several have reached out asking for their information to use at other events in the future (two work events and a baby shower!). Needless to say, the strolling wedding magicians were a hit and I cannot recommend them enough. Anthony and Brian were nothing short of professional. They were timely and very low maintenance—one of the few details I never had to stress over. For the booking process, they met with my parents, husband, and me to give us a preview of the tricks so we knew exactly what we were getting. USE THEM FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT! Guests will be talking about it for months!"

FAQ
Can it match my theme?
Absolutely! The goal is to bring your dream to life. I cater to the theming and needs of each couple, knowing how unique and special this day will be. Whether it's renting specific clothing, performing only the client's requested tricks, or acting as a character- I truly value your wedding day and will work hard to incorporate your theme.
Do you perform at destination weddings?
Yes! I perform nationally as well as internationally, and I'm passport ready! I love when I get a chance to help with destination wedding entertainment. Some clients have also hired me to perform during the pre-wedding festivities the night before.
Do you perform for all ages?
Yes! The great thing about strolling magic is that it's adaptable. Each group gets their own show. If there happens to be a group that consists of mostly kids, I can show them effects that will be perfect for their age range. I have tricks for everyone, no matter the age.
If I hire you for more than an hour, does your time run consecutively?
Almost all of my clients hire me for several hours, usually during the cocktail hour and then to perform during the reception. I understand that wedding schedules are sometimes spread out, and that you don't always need the entertainment to be back to back. As long as it is specified beforehand, the time does not have to be consecutive. Within reason, of course.
Can my guests record your performance?
Of course! For most people this is their first time to see a wedding magician in person, so they want to remember it by taking photos or videos. They will also want to post those videos on instagram or snapchat and I don't blame them! They are welcome to take as much footage as they like and even post them online!
Do you do in-person meetings like other wedding vendors?
Yes! For my local couples, I love to meet up over coffee or brunch. I like to get to know my couples and hear all about their vision; there is no better way to do that than meeting face to face and getting to know each other. For my out-of-state couples, we typically meet via zoom or a series of phone calls.
Will you be able to make my grumpy uncle laugh?
Nope! I unfortunately can not perform miracles. That man lost the ability to experience joy a long time ago. If anything, I can try and distract him long enough for everyone else at the table to escape his judging glare and backhanded comments. I'll still try my best to make him laugh first, though!
I have a high wedding guest count- will you be able to entertain everyone?
If you have a large guest count, I normally suggest hiring multiple entertainers. I have a great group of other professional wedding magicians that I work with to ensure that everyone gets a chance to experience some magic. These performers are vetted by me and you can expect the same quality service as you would from myself.
