Memorable Close Up Magic

Nov 13. I have been performing close up magic at the Grand Hyatt Sunday brunch for almost 4 years now. Sometime I wonder if the magic I perform actually leaves memories with the audience.

This week I had an encounter confirming that the experience of magic can last for a long time. I perform an effect where a borrowed coin is initialed with a permanent marker, the coin vanishes and reappears inside my wallet inside a sealed envelope. The participant has the choice of a long mystery or short mystery.

With the short mystery they open the sealed envelope right away and validate that it contains the coin with their initials. The long mystery is not to open the envelope, this way the experience of mystery last as long as they have the envelope because they don’t know if it is really their coin.

Last Sunday I was asked to perform for a group of about 14 people in one of the private rooms at Mezza9. Some of them had seen me before and one of the teenagers (about 15-16 years old) actually brought the sealed envelope from the previous performance, which was 5-6 month ago. She had never opened it. This Sunday she did – the mystery did last for a long time.

Corporate Event Magician – comScore Promotion event

  • Event: Oct 27 –  comScore Promotion event – 400 Guests
  • Venue: Black Swan
  • Package:  Close Up magic for VIP guests at Powder Room

An event magician has to be able to work at different venues and themes. This event was a challenge because I was asked to hand out promotional items as part of the performance. In addition I had to perform in club style situation with loud music in the background. This set up made it difficult to communicate with the guests. I decided to work mainly silent and mainly produced the promo items.

If you an event planned and you are thinking about hiring entertainment please visit my website for further information how an event magician can add something special to your party.

Conference Entertainment Ideas

The focus of events like this is on networking and the presentations. I believe that Close-Up Magic is probably one of the best conference entertainment ideas. It does not interrupt the flow of the event and it is the ideal ice breaker. It can use modern items like iPhone or iPad in the presentation and can involve the theme of the conference.

Three Shell Game

Three Shell Game at the Raffles Hotel

  • Event: Schneider Electric Conference Conference Dinner – September 26 – 150 guests
  • Venue: Raffles Hotel
  • Package:  Three Shell Game Demonstration

The shell game (also known as Thimblerig, Three shells and a pea, the old army game) is demoed as a gambling game, but in reality, when a wager for money is made, it is almost always a swindle to get your money. The shell game dates back at least to Ancient Greece and is still played in the bigger Cities all over the world.

I have used the game/trick in my close-up shows before but it requires a table and in cocktail setting I never bring one. At the reception I was allocated a fixed spot and I only did this trick during the evening. Since the game is known by almost anyone it is a great conversation starter. No matter who your audience is, almost always you have someone who has lost money in the game.

If you ever see a guy on streets moving three matchbox drawers, bottle caps, walnut shells etc. around stay away and what it from a distance.
