A strolling magician can fill that time, moving between groups with close-up magic. Plan when they start, how long they stay and who&#8217;s there, then send us your date, venue and guest count, and you can compare options with prices for magicians who are available that day.<\/p>\n<h2>Moving between groups<\/h2>\n<p>A strolling magician goes from group to group, performing a few minutes of close-up magic for each, then moving on. Ask how many guests they can reach in an hour, so you can plan how long to book.<\/p>\n<h2>When they start and how long<\/h2>\n<p>Tell the magician when the ceremony ends, when the newlyweds will be back, and when guests sit down to eat. Ask whether they can stay a little longer if the photos run late.<\/p>\n<h2>Guests of all ages<\/h2>\n<p>A wedding has children, grandparents and everyone in between. Ask how the magician adapts for each, and whether they&#8217;ll make a point of finding guests who are sitting down.<\/p>\n<h2>A short show later<\/h2>\n<p>A magician can also give a short show to the seated room, for example between dinner and the speeches. If you&#8217;d like both, ask whether they do, and tell them when it would fit.<\/p>\n<h2>The space<\/h2>\n<p>Ask whether they need anything from the venue. Strolling magic needs room to move between the groups; a show needs a spot everyone can see, and a microphone in a bigger room.<\/p>\n<h2>Questions to ask before you book<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>How many guests can you reach in an hour while strolling?<\/li>\n<li>Can you stay longer if the photos run late?<\/li>\n<li>How do you adapt for children and older guests?<\/li>\n<li>Do you also give a short show to a seated room?<\/li>\n<li>What do you need from the venue?<\/li>\n<li>Can we see a video of you performing at a recent wedding?<\/li>\n<li>When will you arrive, and what will you wear?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>What changes the price<\/h2>\n<p>The price depends on how long you book, whether you add a show, whether it&#8217;s a Saturday or in the wedding season, and travel outside Metro Vancouver.<\/p>\n<h2>How booking works with AGNT<\/h2>\n<p>AGNT is a booking company.

It doesn&#8217;t list prices, because they depend on your date, how long you book and the magician you choose. You&#8217;ll see prices with the options we send.<\/p>\n<h2>Your next step<\/h2>\n<p>Tell us your date, venue and guest count, and we&#8217;ll send you Vancouver magicians who are available that day, with prices: <a href=\"https:\/\/agnt.com\/hire\/magician\/BC\/Vancouver\">book a magician in Vancouver<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"photo-credit\">Featured photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@eyestetix_studio?utm_source=AGNT%20Blog&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eyestetix Studio<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=AGNT%20Blog&amp;utm_medium=referral\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"While the newlyweds and the wedding party are away for photos, guests in Vancouver are left with drinks&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12656,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[134],"class_list":["post-12651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-guides","cs-entry"],"authors":[{"term_id":134,"user_id":1,"is_guest":0,"slug":"admin_gvut7zlq","display_name":"Viet Nguyen","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/4c460e03b3114d72267fa815c82730296e87ad2d7365d149a653483e40a7f817?s=96&d=mm&r=g","first_name":"Viet","last_name":"Nguyen","user_url":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog","job_title":"","description":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12651"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12661,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12651\/revisions\/12661"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12651"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/agnt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=12651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
