A Question Of Attitude
London is a busy vibrant City with more parties, banquets, dinners, galas
and corporate functions per square mile than any other place in the country.
Your entertainer needs to be aware that he is not there just to perform
magic. He has to play his part in making your event a success.
So this requires knowledge of the geography of London so that he can get
to your venue in good time to set-up and prepare.
Ours is a truly cosmopolitan Capital; thus he also needs to be able to
work with audiences from a diverse range of social and cultural backgrounds.
But more importantly he needs to have a thick skin as City audiences can
sometime be challenging!
How to Add Value?
London is about doing business and it is a fallacy that every company in
the City has money to throw away and waste on entertainment.
You always aim to extract the best out of your outlay so always think sensibly
when thinking where a magician will fit into the program of your function.
A good suggestion is to think about any dull moments that might occur. For example, as your guests arrive for pre-dinner drinks a close-up magician can “Mix & Mingle” performing their miracles. Normally the type of magic used here is fairly laid back – after all people have yet to relax into the evening.
You will also need to be considerate of others when planning your function. If you have guests who have not seen each other for quite sometime, or even some who have just been introduced, a magician may be considered an unwelcome visitor!
Other Ideas
Of course London Magicians can work in other scenarios other than parties.
With several large Exhibition Centres in and around the City there are many
other opportunities to add some magic
to your business.
Some of these include Product Launches, Trade Shows, Exhibitions and Conferences. Some magicians will offer the option of simply performing their usual magic or creating new presentations to help sell your company’s message.
How should I select a magician?
There are always so many wonderful artists to select from but your first
stage in the selection process is to see who can offer the type of magic
you think will add value to your event.
Next, the decisive factor is “will the magician fit in”? So
observe their promotional writing and internet site and reflect on the sort
of guest that will be in attendance the event.
If you have some young street wise people there will they warm to a friendly
avuncular magician?
The key thing to establish is that they work regularly in London and can
deal with the people an the environment that is so unique in our Capital
City.
Other credentials which may be worth considering are:
· Membership of a magical association such as The Magic Circle
· Public Liability Insurance
· Previous Clients – Who have the worked for and what did they
say?
· CRB Check – Essential where kids are involved
Essentially think about your event and where a magician will add value and choose one who looks right for the situation. Check his credentials, sit back and enjoy the magic!
