"How can magic improve my event?"



Magic is an art form which transcends generations: people of all ages enjoy magic, from toddlers to business professionals to retirees. This is because it speaks to our inner desire to experience something unbelievable, the same reason fairy tales are still around: we need magic in our lives.

By hiring a magician for your event, you will reach your guests at that very deep level. It creates a memorable experience which lasts, and is a unique addition to any function.

The 3 most common types of magic performed are:

Strolling/Close Up
This type of magic is when the magician walks amongst small groups of people; the illusions take place in the guest's hand. It's best for events wherein people will be moving around so that the magician does not interrupt conversation. Strolling is best for casual entertainment, as it can last for the entire event.

Parlor
A more formal type of magic show, generally ranging from 15 minutes to an hour. The magician can take the space provided, such as a living room or public park, and turn it into a miniature stage wherein larger illusions can be performed. Parlor is best for private parties or as a highlight to an event.

Stage
A grand illusion show, ranging from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. A stage show includes music and large scale illusions. It can be customized to fit a specific theme, however requires ample performance space as well as setup. Stage illusions often provide a pre-show or a foundation for a larger event.
