Free Guildford Magician Quotes

There's been a huge shift from them being viewed as solely children's entertainers, and are now regularly chosen for more mature adult audiences.

Magician Guildford Surrey (GU1)

There's something extra special about seeing a professional magician in the flesh, particularly when you simply cannot figure out how they did it.

You may want your magician to put on a cabaret style show, or perhaps you'd rather have more informal magic as they mingle up close with your guests; either way, they'll have fun and be captivated. However, what style of magician should you hire?

CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN IN GUILDFORD

Before getting in touch with a magician or entertainment company you should first of all take a look at your guest list. Is it a wedding reception, kids party, corporate event or other celebration for which you want a magician? Knowing yours, and your guests, expectations from the event should allow you to pick out the best magician.

It can be easy, if you don't do your research in understanding just what you require, to hire the wrong type of magician for your event. To simply book in any style of magician without undertaking this elementary research could be a big mistake. An adult entertainer might have magic more suitable to a stag party or hen party than to a corporate event, or a party where children are present. It's also clear that a kid's magic show may not be appropriate for more mature, adult audiences.

MAGICAL STYLES

Parties and informal occasions are a great place for close-up magic, sleight of hand magicians and street magicians who'll mingle with guests while they perform. If your function calls for something a bit more formal, or needs to be performed within a set time frame, look at booking a cabaret, corporate or stage magician to amaze the whole audience.

Popular to people of all ages, and sure to keep the audience guessing are mentalists and mind readers. This time honoured magic style can be changed completely when the magician turns it round and has the audience read their mind.

EXPERIENCE AND PERSONALITY

In magic, as with many other things, confidence is key. Confidence comes from practical experience, and a good Guildford magician can adapt quickly to ever changing situations among your guests. Sometimes magic tricks don't work, and you want someone who can transform such mistakes into an integral part of the act and not dry up. This is when many years of experience working with groups of people comes to the fore.

Magician Enquiries Guildford Surrey

With experience also comes the knowledge of successfully working the crowd. What you do not want at your event or party in Guildford is a magic act that causes embarrassment or insult, with remarks that are unsuitable for the guest list. You want a magician who can chat to anyone at your function on their level, or as near to it as possible. They must be able to put all your guests at ease, and engage with them during the performance.

Even though the processes of some magician's tricks can be guessed at, a magician should never reveal their secrets. Also, they shouldn't depend on tightly scripted material, since working with live audiences can throw up unexpected surprises at every turn of the cards. A magician should not just rock up to your party in Guildford, knock out a few basic tricks and disappear, they must perform, interact and make sure they give all your guests an "OMG" moment to remember.

QUALIFICATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS

There aren't any formal qualifications in the magician world, and training that takes place is either self-taught, or done with the utmost secrecy. Magic clubs all around the country will welcome magicians of all ages to share hints, tips and tricks, but the most famous club of all is The Magic Circle.

Magic Tricks Guildford

Only the very best magicians in Guildford who've proven that they are worthy candidates get the chance to become members of The Magic Circle. The Magic Circle is extremely demanding with regards to accepting new members, and any magician wanting to join has to be put forward by two standing members, attend an interview and display their magical skills.

The interview and demonstration stage must be successfully passed before the final decision by the Magic Circle Council is reached. These steps have to all be surpassed before any magician can become a proud member of the famed The Magic Circle.

KIDS MAGICIANS GUILDFORD

A footnote on magicians for children's parties; a professional kids magician won't be offended or upset if you ask about background checks and references. Anyone who advertises as working with kids should be checked as a part of the industry, and children's magicians are no exception.

A professional kid's magician in Guildford will be able to keep any age group of kids entertained and captivated. Some magicians may have particular age brackets their material is more suitable for, and they should ask you about the age range at your particular party. With the hectic pace of keeping kids amused, the magician should also be a good entertainer who can readily adapt the situation changes.
