A guide to wedding magicians, wedding party magic & Close up magic

If the magician thinks it through before they leap in then the job becomes far easier and the customers have a much better experience and will give good feedback to the booker.

This all takes a sensitive approach. Understanding people and how they behave is all part of the job of being a close up magician. Although most public functions are attended by people out to have fun the restaurant particularly at lunch time is full of people who may have a more private agenda.

                                                                                  

The magician has to be wise to the fact that not everyone may want to see the magic. A diplomatic approach is needed here. At the banquet table I take it for granted that they will want to watch. Once a year I may be wrong but I’ll take that. In the restaurant the Close up magician needs to tread carefully.

In the UK the idea of magic has to be sold to the audience, once this is done there is very little difference. A British audience will enjoy magic in the same way as the Americans. In short I think the two countries enjoy magic in the same way and to the same degree. For some reason working as a UK Magician there seems to be some stigma attached to magic. I’m not sure why, perhaps everyone has seen their favourite uncle botch a simple card trick. Perhaps some of our stars of magic now appear dated. I don’t know the reason but once this barrier has been overcome the UK, and US, audiences behave in a very similar way.
