Corporate event entertainment

On May 6 I was hired to provide corporate event entertainment at the Jewel Box on Mount Faber. I was hired to do an hour of close up magic as part of the re-branding launch event. There were about 200 guests and I tried my best to cover as many as possible. It was a great event even so I had to perform outside. It was a hot and humid day (I guess like 90% of days here). I got good reaction and managed to also work indoors since some of the guest preferred the AC rooms as well.Here a picture how the restaurant looks like inside:

Magician on Vacation

I went with my wife on vacation to Japan. In 2 weeks we covered a bunch of Cities in Kyushu. Starting in Fukuoka/Hakata to Kumamoto, Beppu and Kagaoshima. The last 4 days we spent in Tokyo to see family and friends. Even so I was a magician on vacation I still have magic and performance on the mind. In Fukuoka we took a trip to a nice place called Dazaifu to visit the famous temple and shrine there. I had the chance to watch there a japanese street performer that did juggling, magic and the old are of  Tamasudare. The performance consists of a person skilled in manipulating special screens made of loosely woven sticks, as well as chanting an accompanying kind of poetry. The performer chants a rhythmic poem as he or she uses the screen to portray the objects in the poetry without stopping. On one of the photos you can see a basket that’s were he collects the money after the show. Seeing the performance I got the idea to incorporate this in the theater show that I am planning. In the story/script I also speak about my life and performances in Japan and this is something unique. Now I have to find out where to get the bamboo mats and instructions.

Magician Grand Hyatt

One of the nice things when you perform regularly at the same venue is that you get repeat customers. I have now been the Magician Grand Hyatt for almost a year and I would say I have every Sunday at least 10-20% regulars. Usually they bring friends or family and they request that I come to the table which is a great marketing point to the management. This week was the same. I performed at a table for a Gentlemen that had seen me at least 5 times but he was always there with different people so the show is always different. Next time he comes I have to think of something different.
