ABOUT US CONTACT US

Entertaining your guests can take many forms. One of the more popular choices for entertaining friends, family, or employees can be some brand of a magic show. Having the mystery of a night of magic can engage the audience and provide a bit of a challenge to the audience as they try to figure out how the tricks work.

MAGIC SHOWS

LET US AMAZE YOUR PRIVATE PARTIES AND CORPORATE EVENTS

The Stage Magic Show

This is what many people think of as a magic show. This includes a variety of large props utilized for tricks that are performed on stage in front of the audience. The magician, often with his beautiful assistant and possibly some audience volunteers, wows the audience with a selection of tricks and illusions. It is a great way to entertain any private party or corporate event!

Close-up Magic

This is one of the more popular versions of magic. this is where a magician often wades into the crowd and performs a variety of quick disappearances and object tricks. This can include card tricks, coin tricks and an almost infinite number of variations. The magician moves from table to table and works several tricks into the mix to keep people entertained. This is often something done during cocktails with a stage show following dinner.

Psychics

There are various types of psychics that can be provided for a party. This can include Diviners, Palmists, Tarot Readers, and Mediums. This is separate from Mentalism due to the nature of the magician and the nature of the performance. Often the shows can be combined and the lines blurred. Though sometimes performed as a stage show, as many Mentalism shows are, Psychics tend to perform around the room at tables or during cocktails with more intimate groups.

Comedy Magic

While most magicians will utilize some comedic elements, there are others that are more of a comedy show with magical elements. These shows keep people laughing and are well choreographed. There are a variety of approaches to this art form including the seemingly inept magician that is actually extremely adept or one that blurs the lines by engaging in juggling or other art forms at the same time.

NON-TRADITIONAL MAGIC SHOWS

ADDITIONAL OPTIONS TO AMAZE YOUR AUDIENCES

Improv is Magic

This is a comedy show using your audience members as the performers. Magically, they become funny. This show uses an improv director and teacher who can extract humor from your people on stage. While it isn't really magic, the audience often thinks that it was.

Hypnosis

A popular version of a magic show involves bringing several people on stage to become hypnotized. They perform various acts that they normally wouldn't and their friends and family howl with laughter.

Mentalism

This form of magic involves a performer engaging audience members and divining information seemingly from nowhere. There are a variety of approaches to this and each performer is unique in their approach.

These shows can take on several forms, or they can be done in combination with one another. From the technical side, there are all kinds of requirements for these professionals. On a base level, a stand or headset microphone is common. The idea is to make certain that people can hear the show. Of course if you have a more intimate group, sometimes it's better to have no technical assistance to have a more natural and intimate show. Close Up Magic might not need it as much. Stage Magic Shows probably require much more. Most also have music that they would like to be played and often will have their own tech person. There should be accommodations made for these technical requirements which will be discussed as we come to agreement as to the event.

Similarly, you may wish to have staging and lights. Having a raised stage allows people further away from the stage to see more clearly and for voices to project. The lights allow for the lights to be dropped for the audience. An audience in the dark allows for people to laugh without the worry that other people were looking at them, which can hinder enjoyment. They also probably have many light cues and will need the ability to control all the light in the room. After all, how can you make things disappear if you can't even turn out the lights?

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

WHAT IS THE OCCASION?

The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY PEOPLE?

We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
