There are many magicians, and they differ enormously. One shines on a large stage, another in an intimate conversation at the table. The right choice depends entirely on your event. With this checklist you know exactly what to look for, so you can book with confidence.
1. Decide on the type of act
The first question is how your guests come together. Are they walking around with a glass, or seated at tables? Is there a moment when everyone watches at once, or not? That determines whether walk-around magic, table magic or a stage show works best.
Not sure? An experienced magician thinks along with you and advises which format suits your programme, without you having to work it out yourself.
2. Look at experience and reliability
The magic itself is only half the story. At an important event you want someone who arrives on time, communicates clearly, adapts to unexpected moments and treats your guests with respect.
Ask about experience with similar events, look at footage and notice how smoothly the communication runs beforehand. That often says more than any trick.
- ✦Does the type of act suit your event and audience?
- ✦Does the magician have experience with similar occasions?
- ✦Is the communication beforehand clear and professional?
- ✦Is the act suitable for the age and make-up of your guests?
- ✦Are travel and duration transparent in the quote?
3. Consider the booking process
A professional booking process feels good from the first contact. You get a quick reply, a clear quote with no hidden costs and the room to tailor the act to your event.
A good magician makes it easy for you. The smoother and clearer the contact beforehand, the more confidence you can have that the day itself will run carefree too.
Choosing the right magician comes down to the match between your event and the artist. Once you know what you are looking for, booking is done in no time, and the magic of an unforgettable evening is within reach.
