Every wedding has a gap nobody plans for: you're off taking photos, dinner is being plated, and a hundred guests are standing around checking their phones. That's exactly where I come in. I'm Christian Misner — Christian the Magician — and I fill those in-between moments with close-up magic that gets your guests laughing, mingling, and talking about your wedding for months. My reviews back it up: 5.0 stars across 145+ Google reviews.

 

Magic made for weddings

 

Cocktail hour strolling. While you're with the photographer, I work the room performing magic right in your guests' hands — a ring vanishes, a card changes, a thought gets read. Your college friends meet your coworkers over something impossible, and the party is warm and buzzing before dinner even starts.

 

Dinner table-to-table. Between courses, I visit each table with a short set designed for the people sitting there — your grandparents' table gets the same gasps as the head table.

 

A moment for the whole room. If you'd like one, I can gather everyone for a short featured piece — including a trick built around the two of you — before the dancing takes over.

 

Planning something smaller? My Magic Parlor is a one-hour seated show for intimate celebrations and rehearsal dinners of under 30 guests, with special lighting, sound, and effects — a private theater experience your guests will never forget.

 

Why couples book me

 

Weddings run on trust and timing, and I treat both seriously. I'm a practicing attorney as well as a professional magician, so the contract is clear, the timeline is coordinated with your planner and venue in advance, and on the day I simply appear where I'm supposed to, dressed for your wedding, and make your people happy. Hosts and couples from more than 200 companies, organizations, and celebrations have booked me — including events at Marriott Hotels and the Ritz-Carlton — and the reviews keep using the same word: effortless.

 

Want your guests to take the magic home? Add a custom favor: my custom-branded Two-Card Monte card tricks, or personalized magic wands printed with your names and wedding date. Both are real, performable magic your guests will keep — and perform at every party for the rest of their lives. Just book with enough lead time for the custom printing.

 

Questions couples ask me

 

How much does a wedding magician cost in St. Louis? There's no rate card — every wedding is custom-quoted per event based on your wedding date, your guest count, the hours of coverage you'd like, and how the magic fits the flow of your day: cocktail hour strolling, reception table-hopping, a featured reception set, or a combination. Reach out for a custom quote and I'll give you one exact number with everything included. No packages you don't need, no surprises later.

 

When during the day does the magic happen? Most couples book me for the cocktail hour and photos window, when guests need entertaining most. Table-to-table during dinner and a featured moment before dancing are easy add-ons.

 

Will the magic distract from us? Never. I'm there to make your guests feel taken care of while the spotlight stays exactly where it belongs. Think of me as the host you hired for the moments you can't be in the room.

 

Do you work with our planner and venue? Happily — I coordinate timing, space, and sound with your planner, DJ, and venue ahead of time, and I need almost nothing: no stage, no microphone, no setup for strolling.

 

How do we book? A signed agreement and a deposit holds your date. Popular Saturdays go early — often a year out — so the sooner we talk, the better your chances.

 

Where I perform

 

Weddings across the St. Louis metro: downtown venues, Clayton and the Ritz-Carlton corridor, Chesterfield, St. Charles wine country, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, and Metro East celebrations in Belleville and Edwardsville — plus destination weddings when the party's worth the trip.

 

Check your date
