STAGE MAGICIAN

Stage magic requires specific skills that many magicians don't have. Things such as microphone technique, blocking and stage presence and posture, need to understood as well as, if not better than, the tricks. This confidence on stage can only be acquired through years of prior performances.

Not only that, but a stage performance is usually a big part of your event. It's the main event. That's a big responsibility. It's even more the case that hiring a professional magician is vital when it comes to stage magic. See my question below for more information.

As for the price, there are a few factors that go into the final price, such as when and where it is. That's why, it's best to have a quick conversation about the set up of your event. You can get in touch here. There's no obligation to book and my approach is always just to leave you with all the information so that you can make the right choice for you.

Many magicians perform close up magic. I enjoy doing that style of magic too, but remember it's far easier to perform for 2 or 3 people than it is for a group of 200 or 300. This page is about magic on stage for audiences of about of about that size. It's a specialist skill that only a handful magicians have the ability to do.

An inexperienced (or zero-experienced) stage magician makes the audience feel uncomfortable. They feel sorry for them, and the show becomes difficult to watch.

A professional exudes confidence. Not only because they've done this before, but because they are prepared. I arrive hours before the performance, (even if it's only a 20 minute show), just so that I can be there in good time, relaxed and ready to wow your guests.

Yes. While a short stage show can slot in to your event either after dinner, or between various speakers or awards many clients ask me to weave magic throughout their whole event. And the best way to do that is by having me as the events host or MC for the night.

Why trust event hosting to someone nervous about talking to large groups, when you can have a professional take care of everything?

As the events host for the evening, I can:

• Introduce special guest speakers
• Announce awards
• Make all announcements
• Weave in a little magic, perform my full stage show, or maybe you want no magic at all. That's fine too!

But, of course, everything would be discussed with you in advance and a full schedule drawn up to make sure we are all singing from the same song sheet. And everything is presented in my professional, relaxed, friendly manner. You will not be disappointed.

In the past I've performed to up to 1000 people in a professional theatre. I would be happy to put something together for you if that's what you're looking for.

Most of my stage magic for private events is for 200 to 300 people, sometimes up to 500 people.

Whatever your event size though, I'll send you a full technical breakdown weeks in advance so your team can get one step ahead in helping me to be heard and seen by all of the guests.
