Magic for Every Moment of Your Day
Drinks Reception & Photoshoot

Wedding Breakfast
Jody moves from table to table during the wedding breakfast, delivering high-impact comedy card routines and mischief with money directly in your guests’ hands. This keeps the momentum building toward the speeches, ensuring every guest feels involved regardless of where they are seated.

KEEPS BOOKING
Jody Greig understands that a wedding is a collection of different groups — old school friends, distant cousins, and new in-laws — all meeting for the first time. Based in Edinburgh and featured in Tie The Knot Scotland magazine, he has spent 15 years as a full-time professional wedding magician, performing at everything from intimate restaurant receptions to grand Scottish castle celebrations. His performance is built on comedy card routines, the kind of mischief with money that keeps every table talking, and the occasional free hustle that has made him a fixture at high-profile events including the Edinburgh International Magic Festival.
During the performance, Jody often adopts the persona of an Honest Cheat. He’ll show you exactly how a hustle works, then leave the room floored when the money or the cards vanish right before your eyes. It is modern, non-cheesy close-up magic at your wedding — a playful, engaging style that brings both families together through shared laughter and genuine wonder. Jody personalises routines to the couple, often bringing the bride and groom into a special signature moment that becomes one of the most talked-about highlights of the day.
