What to look for when selecting a wedding magician from the internet congrats! You’re about to tie the knot if you’re reading this essay, so congratulations! You deserve additional congrats for thinking about using the services of a magician to keep your guests entertained. Since I work as a wedding magician, my opinion on the subject of whether or not a wedding should hire a magician to help break the ice during the reception is, of course, going to be prejudiced. However, I realized that I needed to get something truly unique for my brother when he got married, so I hired a magician. This is not simply me trying to sell my services; I hired the magician myself. Now for the not-so-good news: if you hire an incompetent magician, it may actually make your big day less spectacular. It is possible for them to arrive late (or not at all), speak to your visitors as if they are toddlers, curse, be nasty or arrogant, or most often, simply be terrible at performing. Here are some procedures that will assist you in finding the ideal candidate for the position. After doing an internet search and locating a few magicians whose work appeals to you visually, get in touch with them and ask to schedule a meeting. Tell them that in addition to yourself, they will be meeting a few other magicians. This is the most time- and effort-effective strategy for ensuring that you choose a talented magician for your wedding. Every magician will boast about how brilliant they are on their website, on the phone, or in an email to their customers. Nevertheless, only skilled and excellent magicians would consent to a meeting when they are aware that they will be assessed in comparison to other magicians. You’ll also be able to tell a lot about the magician: if he shows up on time, has his shoes shined, and gets along well with your friends and family, then there’s a good likelihood that your visitors will have the same impression of him as you had when you met him for the first time. Calling them is the next best thing to actually meeting them in person, so do that if you can’t meet them in person. On their websites, almost all magicians make the claim that they are hilarious and very entertaining, but in practice, this is not always the case. Don’t tell me you’re funny; rather, make me laugh, as Paul Daniels advises in one of his songs. Again, if they are able to make you laugh over the phone and give off an inviting vibe, then it’s likely that they would be a wonderful choice. When you have your meeting or talk on the phone with the magician, here are some useful questions to ask to confirm that he is an experienced performer: – 1) Do you do magic on a full-time basis as a professional? If he has another employment, you should inquire as to whether or not he works on the weekends. If he is forced to pick between his primary source of revenue and the supplemental money he receives from magic performances, it is possible that he may not be available to perform at your wedding. This would be very terrible for you. 2) Have you been the entertainment at a lot of weddings? Putting such a website to advertise one’s wedding services is a pretty simple process. On the other hand, you do not want the magician to still be studying his craft on the day of your big event. It is quite necessary for you to employ a skilled and seasoned performer who is aware of what he is performing. 3) Where do you find the majority of your employment opportunities? Although websites and agencies will bring in a significant portion of a magician’s revenue, the most successful magicians make their living on repeat engagements and recommendations from satisfied customers. 4) Do you do magic both while walking about and while sitting at tables? There are certain magicians who have been performing under the same circumstances for years, such as always doing their trick with or without a table, with or without backing music, and so on. If this is the case, the magician will only put on a show in a setting in which he is at ease; thus, you should make sure that he has past experience working in settings that are comparable to the one you want to hire him for. 5) Do you have any experience working with children? Some children’s performers, including magicians, have the misconception that they are capable of delivering the same level of performance to an adult audience since the parents like their show. In a similar vein, there are certain magicians who only perform for adults and will not do shows for youngsters. I would highly recommend that you select a magician who has a residency at a restaurant since the majority of your visitors will likely be adults (around 85 percent). This makes it possible for the magician to deal with youngsters without having to focus only on providing entertainment for kids. 6) Do you plan to perform for the bride and groom on their wedding day? If you simply hire a magician for your wedding pictures, he may already be gone by the time you arrive, and you will not get to see what you have paid for since magicians are often hired on an hourly basis. If this is the case, you will not get your money’s worth. 7) Do you know of any other local magicians who come highly recommended or who you would tell people to avoid? It’s possible that you’d consider it to be an inefficient use of resources for one magician to promote the services of another magician. However, in recent years, reality television programs such as Britain’s Got Talent and America’s Got Talent have depicted magicians in such a negative light that members of the magic community are delighted to endorse excellent magicians and warn against mediocre ones. 8) Do you have any references for us that we can get in touch with? Inquire about the individual’s references even if you do not intend to get in touch with any of them. The response that the magician gives to the inquiry will provide you with more than sufficient information. If he has trouble thinking of anyone who could provide a positive reference, it is possible that (a) he has never worked as a wedding magician, (b) he does not believe that his wedding clients will provide a positive review, or (c) (if they feel awkward about giving someone else’s details), they have probably not provided a service to the client. 9) What do you typically wear while you are on stage? As performing artists, magicians have the ability to express themselves creatively via a variety of mediums, including clothes. There are some younger magicians that perform in jeans and a t-shirt, which may not be what you want on your wedding day if you don’t make sure to inquire about this beforehand. 10) Do you have insurance? Insurance is something that every professional performer ought to have. There is a good probability that they won’t ever utilize it, but if they are unwilling to invest in themselves, there is no need for you to invest in them. 11) Are you able to provide me a copy of the contract or the invoice? If the magician can supply you with a contract in before and an invoice afterwards, this indicates that he at least considers the services that he offers to be professional in nature. If he is unable to give you with these papers, there is a good likelihood that he is just a semi-professional or an amateur. 12) Do you own a sound system or a public address system? Having a sound system or pa system available for use during the speeches is highly recommended if your wedding will have more than one hundred people in attendance. The vast majority of professional magicians own their own sound equipment and are able to make it available to their clients for either no cost or a little fee. This fee is often far lower than what it would cost to rent the same equipment from another firm.
