Top 10 bits of advice to consider when hiring a magician for a party.
1. What kind of party are you doing?
So, you want to hire a magician for your corporate event or private party.
The first question has to ask is why exactly is what I want to hire a magician? Ask yourself, when carried out What will they bring to the party? Do you have in your hands a quiet intimate event for your closest friends and family or is this a great event luxurious, all signature and dance? Where do you see the magician took his place. Is it a mix and mingle party type or enjoy a quiet dinner? Are they on stage, before dinner, during cocktail hour, over coffee? Are they going to be the main facilitator presented or only part of the background of entertainment?
2. How many guests attended?
For numbers up to 80 hundredths of a magician usually be enough to circulate among the guests by 2 hours or so, sometimes if the number is under 30, inexperienced interpreter struggles with the depth of "quality material" if booked in a period of more an hour. Do not forget that anyone can call himself a magician if you know three or more tricks and has a website. Be sure to ask how large is the repertoire! Also find out if they have worked in this type of situation before!
3. Not much is worse than seeing an evil wizard!
If you witness a "wizard bad "to feel sorry for them, and then embarrassed by the whole world watching? (Image of the early rounds of the X factor!) As Crafts / Arte no room for the error, you have great magic effects that will surprise or not! His book a magician or mindreader to entertain and impress guests with things that may never experience again! Unless you on TV!
You do not want to hear this conversation!
Member of the audience laughing "Hey mister I can see that hole card in hand, you're a magician, not give up his day job! "
Mago "I do not care as I paid, well … I usually get away with yours, but tell the booker point! "
Think to yourself how you want to judge the performers at the event. Do you want wild applause or prefer to stunned silence. The first is ideal for a fun eighteenth birthday, but perhaps not so suitable for a room full of CEOs.
4. Have you received a personal recommendation?
If you have had a personal recommendation from a friend is always a fantastic start all you need, then just maybe it is to see a demonstration of what they do either live or on a showreel. Ask if his performance as resident magician anywhere. Every magician will tell you you're the best thing since sliced bread, magicians can be very funny, as part of many types … selfish, playboys and other aspirants that Article is concerned mentioned. Fortunately most of the others out there who really care about the audience and put the maximum effort and Ito are listed.
5. Testimonials and Kudos that can be justified?
Most web sites are full of quotations from past events, some of 'Joe public "some of the rich and famous." How do you know if they are real? Well, you could ask for copies of letters of endorsement, or could it Once you forward an email. Maybe I could give you the background when or how he met "famous person X 'then recounted what happened, can support it with a photo. (Some magicians have photos on the site there and have never done with the star) Cheeky monkeys!
Basically, you will know if they are true after an initial chat.
Your magician can be a member of the Magic Circle this is not a guarantee and will not tell you which are suitable for you. Members part of, amateur, semipro and professional. (Even at stops that are different in the organization / club)
Note: Some of the best magicians in the world are of amateur status, but the lack of real performance of hours of life, which are invaluable.
6. Have the magician has a showreel, what type of the web site are.
"The magician has a good professional web site? The current content is perhaps a blog of all that is past shows? What about video content and / or links to Youtube? Is there anything that you give to the past history? (Articles / clippings) to give an indication in-depth knowledge and to show how long it has been in the entertainment business.
What 'Image' and no place to publicize the advertising? Good / bad or indifferent. Do you fit your own ideals or your company? Does the site offer simple advice to book a magician as indicated in this document?
7. How secure is in a strange mix relationship with your clients?
First of all a magician must build a relationship immediately with the public. It is even more important than the tricks themselves, as if the public does not like the "They" then how can they enjoy show? If you are a corporate booker reading reflects on you! If it is an essential issue for your company to have at least talked about "Magic Man" on the phone! Ideally, have great references from other blue chips and make backups of articles written in the press. If you find someone who like to build a grief relationship with them and use them for all their events.
Ex-chief Peter Dorelli waiter (who worked at the Savoy Hotel in London for 40 years) answered the question "What makes a great bartender!" his answer was very simple "would invite this person in my living room for a cup of tea and a biscuit …." A waiter as a magician is an artist just a different medium! "It's all about having a good character who is comfortable around!"
8. Vibe!
So, have you talked to 'Mr Magic' on the phone, looked at there website, has given a recommendation. But remember this is the case, only you know that you are inviting and have their expectations. The magic is "Mr." to what? Perhaps you feel you have sold more than themselves? O conversly really do not seem that interested. Hopefully that will blend and enhance the event and be a great success!
Think about what kind of shape have?
Serio, comedy, cheese, slick, avant-garde, old school, contemporary, mysterious, acute middle of the road, fresh, funky, gritty, silky smooth o-?
Again, when we speak of 'Mr Magic' refer all issues relevant information and details about your event to take the most of them at the party!
9. How much does a cost of up magician close to direct?
