There is a major function that you are in charge of putting on and now you are in the thick of the planning stages. You have your keynote speaker, meal arrangements, decorations, and additional contributions to the event organized and mapped out. There is one element that is missing, the entertainment!! You have gone through your list of possibilities and you have decided to hire a magician. So now all you need to know is how to hire a local magician in the area where the event is being held.
The type of function you are planning will help determine the area of focus that you will want the magician to have experience in when it comes to relating to the audience. If you are hosting a kids party, the magician will need to bring a form of entertainment that the kids will find intriguing and are willing to participate in. The right magician with the right experience can always make this happen. There are other types of events where a corporate magician can boost up the crowd with amazing illusions that can be catered to the specific audience or event at hand. Whether it is a birthday party, special event, an awards banquet, or convention the right magician can make the event a great one. The question is how do you hire a magician? Who do you know that has used a magician at their event? Ask about their experience. It is very important to get a magician with the right personal touch for the event at hand.
Getting a personal review can help narrow a few things down for you also. There is the local yellow pages as well as locally printed event booklets and newspapers that will possibly have a few magicians listed. If you are searching for a particular area, call up local event centers and see if there is anyone they can recommend.
Another way of looking is to do a search on the internet. Magicians will have their information on their own website or they may be listed with a local entertainment organizations. There are also agencies out there that have a list of magicians in which you can book the magician via their service, website, or by contacting the company to book a particular magician. If you decide to book through an agency, the plus side of that is that they normally have more than one magician that can do the trick.
When looking to hire a local magician be sure to talk to the magician directly. This will give you the opportunity to get a feel for their personality and they can explain first hand how they would address your audience. If you find that the magician is not open, expressive, and not willing to provide you with as much information as possible, then that magician may not have the attitude or professionalism you are looking for. It is important to find the magician that is able to relate to people even during an interview.
