Booking a
magician for your wedding, private
party or corporate event is a
fantastic and unique form of entertainment. Magic is the perfect
ice breaker; formal occasions, social events or just plain mix and
mingle we’ve all been in a situation where we don’t know
everyone quite as well as we’re supposed to... the groom’s
father, brother’s lover, unwanted children or the MD’s
wife! Whatever, it can be awkward. However, having a magician perform
will engage everyone with a moment of wonder allowing them to react
together and have an experience that will be talked about long after
they are gone.
Close-up / Table Magic
Close-up Magic is magic performed to small groups of people by a
magician who carries everything he needs on him and who can move
smoothly from one group or area to another, providing an unusual
mobile entertainment service. The magic is performed right under
your very eyes without the aid of lighting, mirrors, cumbersome
props or Ladies called Debbie.
Performing Close-Up, Sleight Of Hand Magic, with common objects,
is a true test of a magician’s skill, performed well it is
something that can’t be appreciated passively, forcing you
to think and question your own take on reality.
But why may you want Close-up Magic? Well, for start it is convenient
and fully self-contained. It can be performed at a moment’s
notice throughout your event and similarly stopped just as quickly.
Booking a magician for close-up magic is perfect for creating atmosphere
and is an ideal adjunct to music, dancing or eating.
Stage / Cabaret Magic
Cabaret magic is great as after-dinner entertainment at corporate
functions or any large gathering and is more interactive than stage
magic.
The show can last from 20 to 40 minutes and is suitable for audiences
of up to 150 people. In comparison, stage magic is suitable for audiences
of 150+, typically within an auditorium.
Stage magic often features large-scale illusions and involves less
audience participation than cabaret does; the spectators simply watch
in amazement as objects appear from nowhere, disappear and/ or behave
in mysterious ways.
Things to remember when booking a magician
- Think about the timing ratio against the number of guests
A magician can typically entertain approximately 30 – 50
people per hour, depending on the crowd and based on big round
top tables that seat 10 people. So, make sure you book your magician
for the appropriate amount of time so that they can get around
all the tables or guests.
