Over the last few years, magicians have become one of the most popular choices for the entertainment at dinner parties, birthdays, weddings and corporate events in Ballymena. They're also still the number one choice for kid's parties, but there has been a huge shift in their popularity for performing at more adult special events.
There is something special about seeing a professional magician up close, particularly when you cannot work out how they did it.
From mingling with your guests and performing impromptu magic tricks, to a formal, cabaret style stage show; a skilled magician will have everybody at your party looking on captivated. So, how do you pick out which magician you need for your event in Ballymena?
CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN IN BALLYMENA
Before doing anything else, study the list of people attending your party. Think of the type of function you are holding and the age brackets of guests who will be there. Picking the best magician, and asking them the right questions will be far easier when you've some idea of what you're expecting from them.
The distinction between a corporate event and that of a fun party can be very different and you could easily hire the wrong kind of magician if you don't research or understand your requirements. To simply book in a magician without carrying out this groundwork may be asking for trouble. If your event is a formal corporate function or a combination of adults and children, you will not want to hire a risqué magician who may work well at a stag party or hen party. It is also obvious that a kid's magic act probably won't 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 also have the option of sleight of hand experts, pick-pockets and street magicians. If your function calls for something a bit more formal, or is presented to set times, consider hiring a stage, corporate or cabaret magician to amaze your whole audience.
Popular for guests of all age groups, and sure to keep everybody guessing are mentalists and mind readers. This classic magic trick can be changed completely when the magician switches it around and gets the audience to read their mind.
PERSONALITY AND EXPERIENCE
In magic, as with many other things, confidence is key. With experience comes confidence, and a good Ballymena magician can adapt quickly to ever changing situations amongst your guests. If something goes wrong during a trick, as quite often happens, an experienced magician will turn it around and make it part of the show, whereby somebody just starting up in the business may be flustered by the failure. That's where the years of experience of working with audiences comes to the fore.
A good magician will also have the experience of working the crowd to good advantage. If a magician cannot accomplish this it is probable that you will finish up with a cringe worthy experience that is embarrassing. You want a magician who can communicate with anyone at your event on their own level, or as near as possible. A magician should put your guests at ease and engage with them as he (or she) performs.
Also, it is a sign of a good magician not to give away his or her secrets, or perform tricks that are far too obvious. A cabaret style magician in Ballymena, unlike close-up and table magicians, can perform to a script, but even then they need to be able to adapt and make it flow freely to counter any change in the circumstances. A magician should not just turn up to your party in Ballymena, knock out a few tricks and vanish, they must perform, interact and ensure they give the guests an "OMG" moment.

Ballymena has a decent number of skilled magicians and entertainers available for you event or party. Obtaining a magician who fits your budget can be somewhat easier through an agency. If you've got family or friends who have hired a magician in the past it's a great idea to ask their recommendations and advice. If you do ask for advice from friends and neighbours, ask about what type of celebration they held so as to compare it with your proposed event.
Make an initial enquiry with 2 or 3 local management companies or magicians in Ballymena and ask them for quotes. You will want to ask about:
Suitability - Do not make the oversight of hiring a children's magic act for an adults only event.
Performance - How long is the performance, whether it's a cabaret style magician, or if they are an up-close magician who mixes and interacts with the audience, what time will they start and finish?
Style - Will they mingle and interact with your guests, or will they do a stage performance for the whole crowd?
Experience - For how many years have they been practicing as a professional magician and do they have a portfolio of events and parties where they have put on shows.
Don't automatically pick the cheapest quotation, look into how each one will work within your event planning and choose accordingly. You will now be able to relax, with everything organised entertainment wise, and enjoy the magical performance on the day.
