Types of Shows

Let us customize a program to your needs including creating special magic effects and props for a special person. We can combine show formats such as doing Strolling Magic during a cocktail hour as a warm-up to a Platform Magic show.

CLOSE UP SHOWS AND WALK-AROUND MAGIC

Close up magic is special material done in an intimate, focused setting and creates the feel of a much bigger show. It is usually done seated around a conference, dining, or board room-style table. These conditions create a special experience for your guests and is a popular choice for small groups up to about 20.

Walk-around magic, sometimes called Strolling Magic, is performed during casual mingling with small groups. Magic with everyday objects happens inches from your guests and often in their hands. For many events this allows for close-up, personal miracles while allowing the party to continue. This is perfect for adult birthdays, receptions, and cocktail hours.

PLATFORM MAGIC

Sometimes called Parlor magic, this is ideal for larger groups at any seated event, from 20 to 200. Choose from a formal magic show for a family audience, or a high-energy comedy club style set for adults. Backdrops and sound are provided if needed.

The formal magic program is a 30 to 45-minute set that incorporates classics of magic with a few surprises, appropriate comedy, and audience participation. The adult comedy club-style set is a 30-minute performance and volunteers are invited onstage to share the spotlight. This set of comedy magic is full of laughter yet always respectful and family-friendly.

FULL STAGE ILLUSION SHOWS

A formal stage program expands the experience of a Stand-up Magic program. Again, volunteers are invited onstage to share the spotlight and experience the magic firsthand. Larger illusions are available, including the Modern Art Sawing a Person in Half, Houdini's Metamorphosis Sub Trunk, and the Chair Suspension (Levitation). All equipment, sound, backdrops, and assistants are provided. Great for large audiences of 100 to 250 with access to a stage.

CHILDREN’S SHOWS

Giggles are guaranteed with our children’s show. Children's magic is ideal for ages 4 to 10. This can also be a great way to occupy children during an adult program or meeting.
