Professional Hawick Magicians

Magician Hawick Scotland (TD9): If you're planning a wonderful event or party in the Hawick area, and you wish to make it unforgettable, you should book a magician.

Magicians have experienced a surge in popularity in recent years, and have become the ideal entertainment choice for weddings, dinner parties, corporate events and birthdays in Hawick. They are still the top choice for kid's parties, however there has been a big shift in their popularity for putting on a show at more adult special events.

It's a wonderful experience to watch a talented magician perform close up, and no matter how desperately you try, not be able to figure out the secret of those magic tricks.

A good magician will have everyone mesmerised as they demonstrate improvised magic as they mingle with the guests, or host a more conventional cabaret style stage show. So, how do you pick what magician you need for your party in Hawick?

CHOOSING A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN IN HAWICK

The first thing you need to do is look at which people are coming to your event or party. Is it a kid's party, wedding reception, corporate event or other celebration that you want a magician for? Having a perception of what your guests are expecting should help you to ask the right questions of your prospective magician.

The variation between a corporate event and that of a fun party can be hugely different and you may hire the wrong type of magician if you fail to research or recognise your precise requirements. You could be mistaken in booking a magician without doing this research. Wedding parties, for example usually involve a wide mix of age groups, and a magician who's more used to events like stag parties or hen parties is probably not the best choice. It's also the case that a kids magic show will probably not be the best thing for more mature, adult audiences.

STYLES OF MAGIC

Close-up magic is always an extremely popular choice for informal occasions and parties, but you can also pick from sleight of hand magicians, street style magicians and pick-pockets. For those more formal occasions you should consider an after dinner cabaret, stage or corporate magician.

Mind readers and mentalists are also great fun and will leave an impact on all the guests, not only the selected targets. Mind reading is a timeless classic, but a contemporary twist sees the audience reading the magician's mind and changes it into something totally new.

PERSONALITY AND EXPERIENCE

In magic, as with many other things in life, confidence is king. Confidence comes from experience, and a good Hawick magician can adapt quickly to changing situations among your audience. At times magic tricks go awry, and you want a magician who can transform such mishaps into part of the act and not freeze. This is part of the skills an experienced and professional magician can offer as they perform.

A talented magician will also know how to work the audience to good advantage. If your Hawick magician cannot accomplish this it is likely you will finish up with a cringeworthy experience that is embarrassing. What you actually want is a magician who can communicate with anybody at your event on their own level, or as close to it as possible. A magician should engage with your guests and put them at ease as he (or she) performs.

There will always be folks who want to know exactly how certain tricks are executed; a good magician should never use tricks that are easy to figure out, or expose their innermost secrets. They should also not depend on rigidly scripted material, because performing to a live audience can throw up surprises at every turn of the cards. You'll want to book a magician in Hawick who interacts and gives your event a genuine OMG moment, not someone who strolls in, knocks out a few simple tricks, pockets the fee and leaves.
