ComScore Event Magician
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.

Conference Entertainment ideas
Conference Entertainment Ideas
- Event: Asia Risk Congress pre dinner cocktails– October 6 – 250 guests
- Venue: Marina Bay Sands
- Package: Close-Up Magic
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.
