If you're planning an event in Perth and want your guests to talk about it long after the night is over, hiring a professional magician is one of the best investments you can make.
Whether you're organising a wedding, corporate event, birthday party, school function, or private celebration, live magic creates unforgettable moments of laughter, amazement, and genuine connection.
At That Magic Dude – Perth Magician Derrek Lau, I’ve spent more than 12 years entertaining audiences across Western Australia with modern sleight of hand, mind reading, and interactive magic.
1. Magic Breaks the Ice Instantly
One of the biggest challenges at any event is getting guests to relax and mingle.
A professional magician solves this immediately.
As I move from group to group, I perform impossible feats using playing cards, borrowed objects, and even guests’ own thoughts. Within seconds, strangers are laughing together and sharing reactions.
This makes magic ideal for:
Weddings
Corporate functions
Networking events
Engagement parties
Awards nights
2. Magic Creates Memorable Moments
People may forget what they ate or what songs were played, but they remember the moment they watched a card appear in their hand or had their mind read.
Great magic creates a strong emotional reaction:
Surprise
Laughter
Shock
Wonder
These are the moments people capture on their phones and share online.
3. It Provides Entertainment Without Interrupting the Event
Unlike a loud stage act or a band that requires everyone’s full attention, close-up magic happens naturally among your guests.
This means I can entertain during:
Canapés
Pre-dinner drinks
Photo sessions
Table service
Waiting periods between speeches
Magic fills those quieter moments and keeps energy levels high.
4. It Appeals to All Ages
One of the best things about magic is that everyone enjoys it.
Children are amazed. Adults are fooled. Grandparents love the nostalgia.
Whether it’s a family birthday party or a black-tie gala, magic transcends age groups and backgrounds.
5. It Adds a Unique “Wow” Factor
Many events have DJs, photo booths, and good food.
Far fewer have a professional magician.
Adding live magic instantly makes your event stand out and gives guests something unexpected and exciting.
6. It’s Perfect for Weddings
As a Perth wedding magician, I often perform during the reception while the bridal party is taking photos or between courses.
This keeps guests entertained and ensures there’s never an awkward lull.
My most popular wedding package is one hour of close-up magic, starting during pre-dinner drinks and continuing through the early reception.
For couples wanting something extra special, I can also perform exclusively for the bride and groom before their grand entrance.

7. It’s a Conversation Starter
After seeing a spoon bend or watching a signed card appear in an impossible location, guests immediately start talking.
“Did you see that?”“How did he do that?”“No way!”
Magic creates a shared experience that naturally sparks conversation and connection.
