magician private event

90% of my performances are at corporate event but sometime I am hired for private events and I do enjoy them most of the time more (even so the money is usually less) because people are usually more receptive. The other day I got a phone call and was asked to entertain as a magician private event the adults at a kids birthday party… It was a lot of fun, I did close up and a quick set in front of the entire audience. Please note that  I didn’t do the balloons in the picture … 😉

Close up magician at the Night at the Races

Close up magician at the Night at the Races

Last week I was engaged by the Australian Chamber of Commerce as close up magician to entertain there members and sponsors at the night at the races at the Singapore Turf Club. There were about 200 guests present. The races are usually every 30 minutes over the course of an evening. It was on a great evening and most of the magic I do fits the theme in way. Especially effects with money and cards which is related to gambling. I got a lot of requests to predict the winner of the next race. It was a fun event and location. Here are some impressions:

I was engaged to entertain the guests with Roving Magic prior to the dinner at ball room at the Pan Pacific Hotel. It was a great audience but as performer you only have about an hour to engage with as many people as possible. This means the performance is cut  from the usual 7-10 min to about 5 min. How can I ensure that people will remember it? By creating an effect that is connected with the event or the company that books me. I usually use customized cards that are exclusively printed  for the event. See picture below. If there is only time to do one thing for a group it will be an effect with a card like that.

Magician and Snake Charmer

On July 3 I was hired to do close-up magic for an hour at the ICMAT conference at the Raffles City Convention Center. In my job, you meet a lot of other performers. This was the first time I came across a snake charmer. His name is Mohd Yusof and he is the only one in Singapore. He has been in the business for over 30 years and had a lot of interesting stories to share about his gigs and the people he met. He learned the craft from his Dad. He actually has a real King Cobra in his shows and when he pulled it out on stage at the conference he had the audience in stitches. He said it is still a baby but the critter was already about 3.5 m long. After his stage show, you could take pictures with him and the snakes. Not with the cobra… the snake on the picture is a python I think.

Typical weekday for a Singapore magician

May 25 I was performing for Veeam Software, which is a information technology company developing backup, disaster recovery and virtualization management software. Veeeam just opened their office at central Singapore location and invited their partners to the office opening party for cocktails and snacks.  As a Singapore magician I am performing  quite often at events like this. The objective is to break the ice and make strangers start talking . It helps me that I have worked in IT for long time and I always try to use some general IT jargon in the presentation, like testing, project time, budget and requirements. The event was managed by Citrus Events the MC was friend of Sharlyn Lim if you ever need an MC for a corporate event give her a call

If you’re having a corporate event, company party (sales meeting, conference, dinner and dance, retirement party, etc.), and would like some world-class fun and interactive entertainment to amaze, break the ice,  and entertain your guests, please keep me in mind.

Close up magician Singapore

Close up magician Singapore

Last week I was hired as close up magician Singapore at a private birthday party at the Grand Hyatt. The person who hired me had seen me before at the Mezza9 Sunday brunch. It was a small group of 10 people in a  function room at the Hyatt. I decide to do 30 min Parlor Show. This type of show is ideal for a smaller function that is hosted in a restaurant or at your home, like a private party or a company dinner event. The show is a mix of close up and effects that can be played for audience up to 80 people. I can be played almost any environment and the client does not have to prepare anything. The show went well and I had a great time with my audience.
