Lewis Belcher

A professional magician based in Plymouth

Lewis has worked professionally since 2014, performed at more than 1,000 weddings and been voted Best Wedding Entertainment 5 times. His focus is close-up entertainment: technically strong magic delivered with a relaxed, personable style.

He is also a Plymouth Magic Circle member and served as president in 2015, supporting the deeper experience couples already see in his awards, reviews and real wedding work.

Being local is useful, but it is not the whole reason to book. Watch the way guests respond, read current reviews and decide whether Lewis's manner fits the celebration you want. The booking should feel right creatively as well as geographically.

Wedding magician Plymouth

Magic around the natural gaps in your wedding

Based on more than 1,000 weddings, Lewis most often recommends the drinks reception after the ceremony or the period after the wedding breakfast. The first covers photographs and guest mixing; the second bridges the room turnaround and arrival of evening guests.

Waterfront photographs and outdoor drinks plans need an indoor alternative. City hotels may involve several floors or a separate bar during the turnaround. Share those details and Lewis can focus the performance where guests will actually be.

Corporate magician Plymouth

Client entertainment without a formal show

Close-up magic works well at networking receptions, awards evenings, launches and team celebrations because it starts conversations without asking every attendee to stop at once. Lewis can work around arrivals, drinks and table service.

For a business event, share the audience profile, purpose and any key client moments. The style can remain polished and conversational, with branding or a formal stage presentation discussed separately if genuinely useful.

Milestones and celebrations

Private events with a guest-first feel

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries and family celebrations often have the same social challenge as weddings: several groups arrive who know the host but not each other. Roaming magic gives them an easy shared moment.

Tell Lewis the age range, venue style and whether the event is a seated meal or informal reception. LB Magic's core presentation is designed for adult and mixed-age social events rather than a children's party format.

Practical detail

Planning a Plymouth booking

A city-centre venue may require parking and access time; a waterfront or garden plan needs a realistic weather alternative; a venue on the edge of the city may have different closing and taxi arrangements. None is complicated when shared in advance.

Lewis normally needs no stage for close-up magic and carries the performance equipment with him. The venue should identify where guests will gather and keep service routes clear.

  • Send the full venue address and coordinator details when available.
  • Explain whether guests will be split across rooms or outdoor spaces.
  • Share the food, speech and photography outline.
  • Confirm any security desk, gate, parking or supplier check-in process.
