Tips to Hire a Professional Magician for Your Next Event

When you hear the word ‘magician’, what comes to your mind? A man pulling out colourful flowers from his hat at a child’s birthday party. Think again! Nowadays, a magician is not just an entertainer for kids. Magicians are a great addition to any adult party— from a wedding to a corporate event, even in a holiday get-together. However, before hiring a professional magician, it’s essential to follow some tips. Let’s dive in!

Hiring a Professional Magician for Your Next Event? Here are the Tips to Follow

Consider the Event and Audience

Do you know that magicians and illusions work differently for different crowds? I, Stephen Barry, understand that not all events are the same, nor are their audiences. So, before hiring, ensure you know the type of event you are going to host and who your guests will be. At a cocktail party, card tricks, interaction with the audience, and mind reading are best for the event. On the other hand, in a corporate event, the magician should be a well-rounded entertainer.

Decide What Type of Magic You Are Looking For

Is your event suited to a particular type of magic, or what kind of magic will work best in your audience? Imagine, at your cocktail party, the magician is strolling through the crowd and suddenly performing miracles. Or, the magician performing on the stage brings fun, astonishment, and laughter. You have to understand your audience and the type of magic you want. Through this approach, your guests will be rewarded with an unforgettable experience.

Close-Up vs. Stage Magic

There are primary types of magic that you can choose for your next event, and these are close-up and stage magic. If there are a large crowd at your party, then the stage magic is a better option where the magician uses large props to connect with the entire audience. On the other hand, close-up magic is appropriate for a small audience group, like a holiday night party.

What is the Best Time for Your Show

Well, live magic is more than just entertaining your guests; it’s about keeping guests engaged while they are waiting for food. When the food is served on the table, the magician is off to another table, where the guests are waiting for food. If you prefer a stage show, then it is better when everyone has eaten and thinks that the party is over. Suddenly, the magician comes and finishes the party with an unexpected twist.

Consider Logistics and Timing

When you prefer a magic show in your next event, the first thing you have to do is discuss the logistical details. You have to decide how long you want the act. Knowing these details will help you run your event smoothly without any issues. Additionally, it is essential to decide the time when you want the show—during a dinner break, or before the party ends.
