Over the last decade or so, magicians have become an extremely popular choice for the entertainment at birthdays, corporate events, wedding receptions and dinner parties in Chorleywood. There's been a huge shift from them being seen as purely kid's entertainers, and are now regularly chosen for more mature adult audiences.
There is something extra special about seeing a talented magician in the flesh, particularly when you simply can't work out how they did it.
A quality magician will have everyone mesmerised as they demonstrate improvised magic as they mingle with your guests, or put on a more professional cabaret style stage show. So, how do you pick what magician you need for your function in Chorleywood?
CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN IN CHORLEYWOOD
Before doing anything else, take a close look at the list of guests who are coming to your event. Is it a corporate event, wedding, children's party or other occasion that you need a magician for? Having an inkling of what your guests are expecting should help you to ask the right questions of your prospective magician.
Because every event is different, you will need to appreciate precisely what you want from your magician, so you don't get it wrong in hiring the wrong magic style. You could be mistaken by booking a magician without doing this groundwork. An adult entertainer might have magic that is more appropriate for a stag party or hen party than to a party where young children are present, or a corporate event. Alternatively, a kid's magician at a wedding reception could be a little embarrassing for the magician, and the happy couple.
STYLES OF MAGIC
Close-up magic tricks are always a very popular choice for informal occasions and parties, but you can also pick from sleight of hand experts, street magicians and pick-pockets. Formal and corporate events will need a timed show performed to the whole audience, and in such cases look for corporate, cabaret or stage magicians.
Mentalists and mind readers are also very entertaining and will leave an impact on all the guests, not only the chosen targets. Mind reading is a time honoured classic, however a modern twist sees the audience reading the magician's mind and turns it into something totally new.
PERSONALITY & EXPERIENCE
In magic, confidence is key. Chorleywood magicians with years of experience behind them will be more likely to adapt and change with the different personalities of an audience than a magician just starting out in the profession. From time to time magic tricks don't work, and you need an individual who can transform such mishaps into an integral part of the act and not dry up. This is where many years of experience entertaining audiences comes to the forefront.
A decent magician will also have the experience of working the audience to good advantage. When a magician in Chorleywood finds this hard to achieve, it can turn into a rather embarrassing experience for everyone involved. The capability to communicate with guests of all ages and backgrounds is a base requirement for any talented magician in Chorleywood. They must have the ability to put all your guests at ease, and engage with them throughout the show.
It is also a sign of a skilled magician not to give away his secrets, or have magic tricks that are obvious or easy to deduce. They can't make use of a script, unless it is a set cabaret style act, and even then it must be readily adapted should the need arise. A true magician will be a performer at your party in Chorleywood, who provides your guests with an unforgettable "OMG" moment, not someone who just strolls around the room doing the odd magic trick every so often before departing with his wages.
