Magician Elland

Magician Elland West Yorkshire (HX5): When you're on the lookout for something a little bit extra for your party or event in the Elland area, and you want a magical evening that everyone will remember; you should hire a magician.

Magicians have experienced a huge increase in popularity in recent years, and have become the ideal entertainment choice for dinner parties, weddings, corporate events and birthdays in Elland. There has been a huge shift from them being seen as purely children's entertainers, and now are excellent choices for the more mature audience.

It's an amazing experience to see a professional magician work close up, and no matter how desperately you try, not be able to work out the secrets to the magic.

A decent magician will have everybody mesmerised as they demonstrate improvised magic while mingling with the guests, or put on a more conventional cabaret style stage show. However, what kind of magician should you book?

CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN IN ELLAND

The first thing to do is look at the people coming to your party or event. Think of the sort of event you are staging and the ages of the guests who will be present. Choosing the best magician, and asking them the appropriate questions will be easier when you have some idea of what you are expecting from them.

As every event is different, you will need to appreciate just what you expect from your magician, so you do not get it wrong in hiring the wrong type. To just book any style of magician without carrying out this research may be asking for trouble. Wedding parties, for example are typically a mixture of ages, and a magician who's more used to events like stag or hen parties will probably not be the best choice. It's also clear that a kids magic show may not be the best thing for more mature audiences.

STYLES OF MAGIC

Close-up magic is always a very popular choice for informal occasions and parties, but you can also select from street magicians, sleight of hand magicians and pick-pockets. For those more formal functions you should consider a corporate, stage, or after dinner cabaret magician.

Popular to people of all ages, and sure to keep the audience guessing are mentalists and mind readers. Some masters of magic can even switch this trick around and get a member of the audience to read their mind - the supreme twist to a well loved magic trick.

PERSONALITY & EXPERIENCE

In magic, confidence is key. A magician in Elland with a lot of experience will be able to change their act to different situations, in a professional and seamless fashion. If things goes wrong during a trick, as quite often occurs, a seasoned magician will turn it to his advantage and turn it into a part of the show, whilst someone just starting up in the profession might be flustered by the failure. Gaining the experience and confidence to accomplish this can't be learned overnight.

Working the crowd and making certain that all the guests are included is also a skill that is gained from many years of experience. If a magician can't do this it's probable you will wind up with a cringe worthy experience that is embarrassing. A talented magician will be capable of interacting with all the guests, irrespective of age or background. What turns a decent magician into an excellent one, is the ability to make your guests feel comfortable, especially if they have volunteered for a magic trick.

Also, it is the mark of a great magician not to disclose his (or her) secrets, or have tricks that are obvious to deduce. They should also not make use of heavily scripted material, as working with a live audience can bring unexpected surprises at every turn of the cards. A magician should never just show up to your event in Elland, knock out a few tricks and walk away, they must perform, interact and make sure that they give the guests an "OMG" moment to remember.

FINDING A TOP NOTCH MAGICIAN IN ELLAND

There are plenty of adverts and webpages for magicians and entertainers in and around Elland. Whether they're individual performers, or part of a large entertainment company, you will want the best for your budget. If you've got friends or neighbours who have hired a magician in the past it is an excellent idea to ask for their advice. If you do seek testimonials from friends or neighbours, enquire about what style of party they held in order to compare it with your intended event.

Pick at least three magicians who you think will be suited to your function in Elland and make a pre-booking enquiry either with them or their management team. You'll want to know from each of them:

Performance - Will it be a one-off cabaret style stage show, or will it be separated to supply an evening of amusement at different times?

Suitability - Do they regard themselves as children's entertainers, or are they suited to older, more mature audiences.

Style - Do they perform close up magic as they mingle amongst tables and guests, or are they stage show magicians.

Experience - Have they done shows at many events/parties, and for how long have they been a professional magician.

Don't always choose the cheapest quotation, consider how each one will work within your event planning and pick according to suitability. You will now be able to relax, with everything organised entertainment wise, and join in the magical experience with your guests on the day.
