Magician Stroud

Magician Stroud Gloucestershire (GL5): If you are planning a special event or party in the Stroud area, and you want to make it unique, why not hire a magician.

Magicians have become one of the most popular entertainment choices for corporate events, birthdays, dinner parties and wedding receptions in recent years. They're still very popular for kid's parties, but because of TV programs such as, Britain's Got Talent, magicians are often on the short list for more mature audiences.

It certainly is a unique experience to watch a talented magician work up close, and regardless how desperately you try, not be able to work out the secret of those magic tricks.

A quality magician will have everyone captivated as they perform impromptu magic as they mingle with the guests, or host a more formal cabaret stage show. So, how do you decide which magician is best for your function in Stroud?

CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN IN STROUD

Before doing anything else, take a good look at the list of people who are coming to your event. Is it a wedding, kid's party, corporate event or other occasion that you want a magician for? Having a feeling for what your guests are expecting will help you ask the right questions of a potential magician.

As every event is different, you will need to appreciate what you want from your magician, so that you do not get it wrong in hiring the wrong type. To simply book a magician without carrying out this groundwork could be a big mistake. Wedding parties, for example are normally a wide mix of ages, and a magician who regularly does events like hen or stag parties might not be the perfect choice. It's also clear that a kid's magic show probably won't be suitable for more mature audiences.

MAGICAL STYLES

Informal events allow close up magic to be demonstrated to small groups, and sleight of hand magicians and pickpockets performing various kinds of street magic usually go down well. For those more formal gatherings you may prefer an after dinner cabaret, corporate or stage magician.

Very exciting for guests of all ages are mentalists and mind readers, who are able to keep the entire audience second guessing for long after the show. This classic magic style can be changed completely when the magician switches it around and gets the audience to read their mind.

EXPERIENCE AND PERSONALITY

Experience is everything when it comes to magic. Stroud magicians with years of experience behind them will be more likely to change and adapt to the different personalities of an audience than a magician who's just setting out in the business. There are times when tricks go awry, and where a novice magician might struggle, a seasoned professional will turn it around to his advantage. This is when years of experience performing to audiences comes to the forefront.

A skilled magician will also have the experience of working the crowd effectively. When a magician in Stroud finds this hard to achieve, it can easily turn into an embarrassing experience for everyone involved. What you actually want is a magician who can talk to anyone at your event on their level, or as near to it as possible. They must be able to engage with all of your guests and put them at ease throughout the performance.

While the technicalities of some tricks can be guessed, a skilled magician should never reveal the secrets behind their magic. Also, they should not depend on rigidly scripted material, because entertaining a live audience can throw up unexpected surprises at every turn. You'll want a performer who interacts with your guests and gives your event a real "OMG" moment, not just somebody who strolls in, knocks out a few simple tricks, pockets the fee and "vanishes".

FINDING A GOOD MAGICIAN IN STROUD

There are lots of web pages and adverts for entertainers and magicians in and around Stroud, Gloucestershire. Whether they're part of an entertainment agency, or individual performers, you want the best you can get for your budget. If you have neighbours or friends who have hired a magician in the past it is an excellent idea to ask their advice. If you do seek testimonials from friends and relatives, enquire about what kind of event they held so as to compare it with your proposed event.

Make an initial enquiry with 2 or 3 local magicians or management companies in Stroud and ask for quotes. You will need to know from all of them:

Performance - Will it be a once only cabaret style stage show, or will it be separated to supply an evening of entertainment at different times?

Style - Will they do a stage performance for the whole crowd, or will they mingle and interact with your guests?

Suitability - Do they regard themselves more as kid's entertainers, or are they appropriate for older, more mature audiences.

Don't pick the cheapest quote, look into how each one would work within your planning and pick accordingly. You should be positive at this stage that your magician will be fully prepared to kick start your event and provide a unique and memorable party for everybody.

QUALIFICATIONS & AFFILIATIONS

With no official qualifications or career progression, magicians are trained in total secrecy, or in many cases are self-taught. Lots of magicians of all ages are members of magic clubs based all around the United Kingdom, however the one they all want to be invited to join is the esteemed, Magic Circle.

Only magicians in Stroud who have proven that they are worthy candidates get the opportunity to become members. The Magic Circle is extremely particular about accepting new members, and any magician wanting to apply has to be put forward by two currently active members to attend an interview and display their magic expertise.

The interview and subsequent demonstration have to be successfully passed before the deciding vote by the Magic Circle Council committee is made. Only then can the successful magician enter into the famed halls of magic and have pride in knowing they're at the pinnacle of their field.

KIDS MAGICIANS STROUD

Working with children is a specialist art and professional kids magicians will fully understand your requirement to see any background checks and references before you hire them. Given that a kid's magician will obviously be in close contact with young children, there is a need for them to have been DBS background checked by the police.

Energy and entertainment are the key to a children's magician's repertoire, and they should be able to keep children of all ages mesmerised throughout their show. Letting a kids magician know the age bracket of the guests at your event, will allow them to tailor their show to suit the children effectively. With the hectic pace of keeping children entertained, the magician should also be a fantastic performer who can readily adapt to changing environments.
