Restaurant magician

As a restaurant magician you often get  requests from management to entertain some VIP customer/guest. At the Hyatt they have private rooms that you can reserve for the brunch with cater for up 30 people. Yesterday I got a request to entertain at one of the rooms for one of the VIP guests. When I walked in and introduce myself the main person looked at me stone faced and said no thank you. All you can do is excuse yourself politely and exit. However the gentleman just played a joke and started laughing – he was basically testing my reaction and the others in the room looked how I would respond. I just said you have a great sense of humor I think it would be worthwhile to include you in my act as heckler at other tables would you mind after the performance here to come along. I got a laugh and he said yes. The rest of the show was great and I stayed longer than usual. You have to think on your feed as a restaurant magician.

Hyatt Magician

Back after 2 weeks vacation to my job as Hyatt Magician. It was good to have a rest be outside Singapore for a while. This week I had the pleasure entertaining a friend for mine from my Karate Club who came to the brunch. He had no idea that I was performing there it was a fun surprise.

Magicians Grand Hyatt

Sometimes you face ‘tough’ customers when you do a regular performance especially in a Restaurant. Yesterday the management asked if I could go to a table which was not to satisfied with the service. I believe the important thing in a case like this is not to focus on the entertainment but on the conversation with the guests and most of the time you find something that you have in common with them. Yesterday it was easy for me because the table was German and one Gentleman was from my region. This made the whole thing much easier. I chatted with them for a while and we had some laughs even with performing a single trick. I did then only one strong effect for them and invited them to come back. I believe they had a good time after all and hopefully forgot about the thing they were not to happy about earlier.

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.

Magician at Grand Hyatt

After performing in Vest T-shirt and hat during at the busking show it was quite a contrast to do the performance at the tables at the Grand Hyatt. The shows at table a much shorter and the size of your audience is anything from 2 to 20 people (in a private room). The funny thing is that I used almost the same effect at the busking show as I use table side. I guess because the conditions are similar. People are usually all around you and the effect have to play for small to a big audience. Well it has been said by some old timers that you can make a living with 6 tricks and I believe it’s true.
