*The Gap Nobody Plans For*

## The cocktail hour is the one part of the day you are not at

Your ceremony and your reception are planned to the minute. In between there is an hour where your guests stand around holding a drink, half of them strangers to the other half. That hour sets the mood for the whole evening.

- **Both sides of the family mix.** A small group watching something impossible together stops being strangers surprisingly fast.
- **Children are covered too.** The show works for a nine-year-old and their grandmother at the same time.
- **Nothing to organize.** No stage, no sound, no slot in the running order. I simply start.
- **Your photographs get better.** People genuinely laughing in the background beats people standing in line at a bar.

*When I Work*

## Three points in the day where this fits

### The cocktail hour

Walk-around magic (sometimes called strolling) from group to group while you are away, so the room is warm by the time you walk into it.

### During the reception

Table to table between courses, or in the lull after the meal before the dancing starts, which is the other moment a wedding can sag.

### The whole evening

Cocktails and reception together, with a short featured set if you want a moment where everybody watches the same thing at once.

*From Couples Who Booked Me*

## What they said afterward

> “We had a small wedding ceremony...about 50 people. No band or music. I met Carroll when he was doing his act, and asked him if he did weddings. Our plan was to just have him sit among our guests as 'an out of town friend'. At some point during dinner he would casually ask a person at his table to pick a card, then attention went to him as he casually moved to each table. WHAT A HIT!. 10 years later our friends still comment how unique and entertaining he was. We still have the playing card that was his finale with my wife and I. We have recommended him to several friends. You won't be sorry!”

> *From Bruce Knox, Wedding*

> “We asked Carroll to perform at our wedding after we had seen him perform a couple of times over the years. He mingled with our guests during our cocktail hour while we finished up photos. We still can't figure out how he did his final trick! He was prompt, entertaining, and we heard nothing but great things from our guests about his performance. Big hit with the adults and the children!”
>
> *From Kaydee W., Wedding*

> “Absolutely amazing! He was awesome at our cocktail hour. Heard nothing but great things after our wedding.”
>
> *From Mickey R., Wedding*

> “Carroll's show was the cherry on top of our bachelorette Weekend! Definitely something we will all be talking about for years to come. Thank you so much Carroll for such a fun experience.”
>
> *From Kayla N., Bachelorette weekend*
