New Meaning…The Masked Magician

search…masked magician, I’m quite sure you won’t find me in the results. Yet
there I was September 6th 2020, providing entertainment at a wedding
reception at the Inn at Woodstock Hill in Connecticut. Wearing a Mask!
Of course,
you know where this is going, and I don’t mean to “make light” of the global pandemic.
But this is where we are. We still celebrate life’s important occasions; some weddings
have been postponed and others go on with some changes.
The Bride was
making preparations many months ago and I was contacted for availability…availability?
Oh yes, at that time my calendar was empty, and I was happy to get on board.
As a vendor
I always want my clients to be stress free when working with me, especially
weddings. Look up stress and you’ll find a picture of a bride. It is by nature
a beautiful day, with potential stress points laid out like landmines.
I was working
with a lovely young woman, and I didn’t want to add any stress. Knowing the
future was uncertain I let her know, that she should feel free to cancel my
service at any time, no penalty and no explanations necessary. At the time of
hire, no one had any idea of what size gathering would be permissible at an indoor
facility months down the road.
So, we kept
in touch as time passed, and we never needed to change anything.
I arrived
and was supplied with a very nice mask/ face covering, as all the guests were.
My job was
to entertain during the cocktail hour, and as usual I shared a special effect
with the Bride and Groom, which they enjoyed while being surrounded by their
guests.
The Cocktail
period continued in the dining area and the guests enjoyed some hors d'oeuvres
along with their cocktails…of course they were able to remove their masks at
this time.
Honestly, I
never thought I would/could entertain while wearing a face covering…I am so
glad to say I was wrong. Everything proceeded well, the guests enjoyed the
magic, and I had the opportunity to finish with a few more pieces for the Bride
and Groom.
I know many
magicians are testing the waters with “virtual entertainment” …That’s not for
me.
Please don’t
hesitate to contact me for a performance by “The Masked Magician.”
Stay Safe,
