What You Need

When looking for a magician, you may feel that "all magic is alike" or "all magicians are alike". A good, professional magician will tell you that is not true. Several questions must be answered to determine what type of entertainment you need. Will this be for children only? Will this be entertainment for parties for adults? Perhaps it is an event with families in mind. Each of these will require a different approach to the show.

A few other questions to answer are, "What type of event is it?" Is this a birthday party? Is this a business function or corporate event? Obviously these two examples also require different approaches. Even an adult birthday party is typically a more relaxed event than a company, awards ceremony -from an entertainment perspective. Both require fun and interaction, but the presentation will be subtly different.

How many will be attending? Are you looking for a more intimate show or a full stage production? How much room is available? If your plans include a gathering with a cocktail period prior to a meeting, or even if this is for a large dinner party, you may want strolling magic. This is a great way to get people mixing and talking about a common experience. "Did you see what the magician did with my ring?" "How did that card end up in his wallet?" Plus, you'll see people laughing and having a great time as amazing magic happens right in their hands. Many situations will lend themselves to this type of entertainment. And a good performer will know how to adapt to each group of individuals to help them all relax, enjoy the performance and feel comfortable in the venue.

If this is a larger crowd, or you are planning for after-dinner entertainment, then a stage show is appropriate. Actually, even in-home parties can use a 'stage show'. Though it is usually referred to as a parlor show (from the days when homes actually had parlors). Basically, the show needs to scale to the audience size. And your entertainer should understand how to do that to maximize the fun and entertainment value.

If you are searching for magicians for birthday parties, then visit my birthday page listed under the "children's shows' link above. Birthdays for children are a unique and fun way to entertain kids. But the performer needs to be able to match the energy level of the audience. Sometimes the cake and soda kick in just as the show is about to start. Sometimes it's later in the day or after school. These can all work, but it takes an experienced performer to understand how to 'manage' that potentially rowdy group of six year olds. Not just everyone can.

If you are looking for birthday party places, then consider a few options. First, a great performer will be able to keep the children's attention and focus for at least an hour to an hour and a half. So your home may work just fine. Guests come, show starts, balloon creations are made, pizza and cake are served. Play a game and the party is over. Not too stressful.

However, if an out-of-home experience is desired think about places near you that have rooms available. Places like hotels have conference rooms. Libraries usually have an activity room that may be available. Then there are the bowling alleys, jump houses, and of course in the summer your local park with a covered or indoor pavilion can work. A magic show can fit into lots of venues. Just leave room for a 'stage' area and a place for the kids on the floor. Bring a blanket if you want the children to sit on it. That actually keeps everyone contained in a specific area and can help the momentum of the show as well.

People are always searching for 'Kids birthday party ideas near me' or 'birthday party places Milwaukee'. Well, following the idea above you should be able to come up with some great options for places - and of course Great Scott is the magician that can fit the bill.
