Magic Frank Named Best Wedding Magician 2026 in North West England

Being recognised as an award-winning wedding magician is something I never take for granted. I’m delighted to share that SME News has named me Best Wedding Magician 2026 – North West England, while also presenting me with the Special Event Entertainment Excellence Award 2026. Receiving these awards, after previous recognition in 2024 and 2025, is an incredible honour and a reflection of the wonderful couples and venues I’ve had the privilege of performing for.

Why Winning Best Wedding Magician 2026 Matters
Winning an industry award is wonderful, but the real reward is hearing couples say things like:
“Our guests haven’t stopped talking about the magician.”
That’s always been my goal.
Wedding magic isn’t about showing off clever tricks. It’s about creating moments that bring people together, spark conversations between guests who may have only just met, and give everyone something memorable to talk about long after the wedding.
Whether I’m entertaining guests during the drinks reception, keeping everyone engaged while photographs are being taken, or moving from table to table during the wedding breakfast, my focus is always on helping your day flow naturally while creating unforgettable moments.
Three Consecutive Years of Recognition
Receiving SME News awards in three consecutive years is something I never expected when I first started performing at weddings.
My recent awards include:
- Best Wedding Magician 2026 – North West England
- Special Event Entertainment Excellence Award 2026
- Wedding Magician of the Year 2025 – North West England
- Wedding Entertainment Excellence Award 2025
- Most Engaging Wedding Magician 2024 – North West England
Each award motivates me to keep improving and delivering the best possible experience for every couple I work with.
Why Couples Choose a Wedding Magician
One question I’m often asked is:
“Do we really need entertainment before the evening reception?”
The answer usually comes after the wedding.
The drinks reception and the time between the ceremony and wedding breakfast can sometimes feel like the longest part of the day for guests. Some know lots of people, while others may know almost no one.
Close-up wedding magic helps break the ice naturally.
Guests start laughing together, sharing reactions and introducing themselves to people they may never have spoken to otherwise. By the time everyone sits down for the wedding breakfast, the atmosphere is already relaxed and full of conversation.
That’s one of the reasons so many venues, photographers and wedding planners recommend close-up magic as part of the day.
Weddings Across the North West
I’m fortunate to perform at weddings throughout:
- Cheshire
- Manchester
- Lancashire
- Merseyside
- Cumbria

Every wedding is different, and I always tailor my performance to suit the couple, the venue and the style of the day.
Thank You
