Whether you’re planning a
corporate event, a wedding, or a private party, we’ll help you find the perfect
magician to make your event unforgettable. The following can assist you in
hiring the perfect Boston magician for your next event.
Why Hire a Magician
for Your Event?
When planning an event, you want to make sure that your expectations are understood
by your performer. One way to do this is by hiring a professional magician. A
professional magician can customize magic for any occasion.
Whether you want a stage show or
close-up magic, a magician can work with you to create an experience that is
unique and tailored to your event. By hiring a magician, you can add an extra
layer of excitement and wonder to your event that will be sure to leave a
lasting impression on your guests.
What to Consider
When Hiring a Magician
Hiring a magician requires careful consideration of several factors to
ensure that you find the perfect fit for your event. Here are some key factors
to keep in mind when hiring a magician:
Experience
With all crafts, experience is key; magic is no exception. You want to
make sure you’re hiring a magician who has a proven track record of providing
high-quality performances. Look for a magician who has been performing for
several years. It would be impossible to have each magician perform at an
interview. What you can expect is to see multiple videos of real-life
performances. Pay attention to their audience engagement and the overall
quality of their performance. Also, see pictures and reviews. You will want verified
reviews, such as what you find on Google. (It is sad to say that some
magicians write their own reviews.) An experienced magician will know how
to engage with your guests and create a memorable experience.
Style
Magicians have different styles of performance, so it’s important to
choose one whose style aligns with your event. Choose a magician whose style
will match your event. For example, if you’re planning a corporate event, you
may want a magician who can perform close-up magic during a cocktail hour.
Reputation
A magician’s reputation is an important factor to consider when hiring
one for your event. Look for a magician with positive reviews and
testimonials from previous clients. If money is not an issue, you may choose to
hire someone with an international reputation. Search for their name, and you
will find their website and contact information. (If that is the case... stop
here and hire David Copperfield.)
Finding Potential
Magicians in Boston
Now that you know what to consider when hiring a magician, the next step
is to find potential magicians in Boston. Here are some ways to find magicians
in your area:
Online Search
You would expect that a search for “magicians in Boston” would provide you
with a list of the best candidates. Search engines don’t work this way; you
will first see the sponsored ads. They paid for these ads, and rightfully they
appear first. Check them out. You may find the perfect magician for your event.
Your next result will be magicians who live in Boston. Only a handful live in
Boston, and others submit false Boston addresses to fool Google... and it
works! All professional magicians near the city will travel to Boston for your
event. I suggest you widen your search and check out magicians serving the
entire state of Massachusetts. All professional magicians in the state will
gladly travel to Boston. We all work in Boston.
Referrals
Word of mouth supplies me with many bookings. Asking a friend or
colleague can lead you to someone who certainly should meet your requirements.
Evaluating Potential
Magicians
Once you have a list of potential magicians, it’s time to evaluate them
to determine if they’re the right fit for your event. Here are some things to
consider:
Questions to Ask Potential Magicians
When speaking with potential magicians, ask them the following questions:
- How long have you been performing magic?
- What kind of events do you specialize in?
- Can you provide references from previous clients?
- What is your performance style?
- What kind of magic do you perform?
- Are you willing to customize your performance to fit my event?
Contract and Payment
Terms
Once you’ve found the perfect magician for your event, it’s time to go
over all the details. Do you need a contract and payment terms? Here are some
things to consider:
Contract
If you have a written contract or just an understanding through
conversation and email. Outline the terms of their performance. This should
include the date, time, and location of the event, as well as the performance
fee and any other terms and conditions. This doesn’t need to be prepared by a
lawyer. What is important is for both parties to have a working agreement.
Payment Terms
Discuss the payment terms with the magician. Cash, check, PayPal, credit
card. Some magicians require a deposit upfront, while others may require
payment in full on the day of the event.
Preparing for the
Magician’s Performance
Now that you’ve hired the perfect magician for your event, it’s important
to prepare for their performance. Here are some things to consider:
Performance Space
Make sure that the performance space is suitable for the magician’s
performance. If they’re performing close-up magic, they may need a small table
to perform on. If they’re performing a stage show, make sure that there’s
enough space for them to set up their equipment.
Timing
Coordinate with the magician to ensure that their performance fits within
the schedule of your event. Make sure that they have enough time to set up and
perform without rushing.
Conclusion
Hiring a magician for your event can be a great way to provide your
guests with a unique and memorable experience. By considering their experience,
style, and reputation, you can find the perfect magician for your event. Evaluate
potential magicians, check their references, and finalize the contract.
