Tip #1—Know Your Audience:
Before you book a magician in London, it is important to know
what type of audience you will be entertaining. Are they guests at a wedding party, corporate
event or a party? This is the first thing you need to know before moving on to hiring a magician.
If it is a wedding party then you know you need a wedding magician; if it’s a corporate event,
then a corporate magician will be perfect, or if it is a party then you know you need a party
magician to wow the guests and give the party more life.
The reason why knowing your audience is important is that they mostly come prepared for
based on the event they are attending, and that will also have an effect on their mood and
expectations, so you want to do a great job finding a balance for them and ultimately
entertaining them.
Tip #2— Know What Type Of Magician You Are Hiring:
Not all magicians are the same. Just as
you have specializations in Medicine, engineering and other fields of endeavor, magicians do
have specializations. There are wedding magicians who specialize in wedding parties, they bring fun and excitement to the wedding guests as they gather around drinking their wine. They
can also be close-up magicians or even stage magicians, depending on how the wedding party is
being laid out or the kind of experience you want to give the guests.
Party magicians are great for atmosphere set up for partying and loud music and more people
moving about the party venue. You want a party magician who has a lot of experience in these
types of setting. Party magicians can also be close-up magicians or stand-up/ stage magicians. If
you want your guests to have a more memorable experience you might want to consider a
close-up magician like Magic-Al who some of the most impressive and unique magic tricks
because they can perform mind-blowing tricks right in front of a group of guests, and they can
simply move around the venue performing different tricks. You want your guests to leave with
memories of a fantastic party and with outstanding magic in the mix.
At corporate events, magic tricks can add a completely different vibe, especially when the
magician is mingling with different groups of guests. It’s a great way to add life and an exciting
atmosphere to a corporate event.
Tip #3— Do Your Research:
You are not just going to go on the internet looking for just any
magician who can perform tricks, what if you end up with a magician who specializes in
children’s birthday parties for a corporate event? How do you think that will turn out?
Dig through the magician's profile and know what they are really good at. For instance, Magic-
AL calls him a freestyle magician because his tricks are very unique and he can pop off a trick
right under guests noses, and when they least expect it.
Be on the lookout for videos where the magician is performing at events, some photographs
will do. But one key thing to look out for is reviews. You want to see what previous customers
and guests have to say about the magician you are considering.
You also want to make sure the magician is a professional and has many years of experience
and a long list of previous clients. The last you ever want to happen is booking an inexperienced
magician who has only performed in front of friends for a wedding party.
