Astonishment as an Icebreaker
The reception is the moment when family and friends meet. For some, it's a first introduction; for others, a joyful reunion. The ideal moment for Guinelli to break the ice with close-up magic.
"I walk among the guests and bring a touch of magic right under their noses," says Guinelli. "A five-euro note suddenly turns into a hundred euros, or a ring disappears just like that. It creates wonder and conversation starters. Before you know it, there's laughter and chatter."
Entertainment During Dinner
Even during dinner, small moments of wonder can make a difference. While the next course is being prepared, Guinelli performs subtle acts at the table.
"No grand stage shows, just refined illusions that perfectly match the evening's atmosphere," he explains. "I love to surprise people when they least expect it. It's often talked about late into the night—and even long after the wedding."
Enchanted on the Dance Floor
Guinelli: “After dinner, the tension rises towards the opening dance. With a short central act, I ensure a seamless transition. For example, I let the bride 'levitate' or playfully demonstrate the couple's bond. It creates a beautiful, symbolic moment for the first dance.”
The Magic of the Unexpected
“Many people think of a magician with a top hat and a dove. That's not my style,” Guinelli smiles. “With a well-kept suit or a subtle glitter accent, I stand out just enough to draw attention without taking it away from the couple. Those small, unexpected acts linger. Moments that aren't planned but are remembered for years.”
