Wild And Crazy Reactions? or the more subdued... "Amazing; Amazing.”
Joe Ferranti's quiet response to his performance.
All reactions to magic performances vary for as many reasons
as you might imagine. From screams, people running away, even tears…yeah
sometimes you tug just right on the heartstrings.
Reactions to Magic
From NFW! or simply two words “amazing…amazing.” As you can
hear from the gentleman above. There was no screaming that day at Michael’s
Harborside (1 Tournament Wharf, Newburyport, MA 01950) I
was performing at a quiet 80th birthday party, with a “reserved” audience.
Those aren’t my words; they are the words my client used to describe her family
and friends. “Old Yankee” was her exact wording. Not being quite sure I checked
it out.
What’s an “Old Yankee?”
“In the 19th century Yankee was most often used to refer to
a New Englander (in which case it may suggest Puritanism and
thrifty values), but today refers to anyone coming from a northern state, with
a specific focus still on New England.” I think the guests were somewhere in
the middle. I do know they were nice people, and a joy to work with. It keeps
my ego in check when everyone’s not reacting with their jaws on the floor.
Check out my YouTube Channel,
and you’ll see the many videos with screaming and other over the top reactions.
The feeling is gratifying, but I’ve learned to keep “grounded”. Magic does not
need another magician with a fat head. The biggest compliment I hear is about
“being humble.” That’s something I work on each day, and to have it noticed is
reward in itself.
Am
I the Right Magician for Your Event?
I always try to have a conversation with my clients. The more I know, the better prepared I will be. Not prepared in the sense of “magic preparation” I am always rehearsed. I mean prepared in the many little things that can add up to a big difference at your event.
When You Do Hire The Magic of Joe Ferranti…
No matter what the event, The Magic of Joe Ferranti (Boston
Massachusetts Magician) will do our very best to bring your guests an
experience that will have the crowd screaming and laughing. Short of that, I
hope you’ll settle for, “Amazing… the very least you’ll hear someone saying
“amazing”. BTW, look at the eyes…they speak for themselves. One of Boston’s
Best Close-Up Magicians.

“Is Mind Reading Real? Keeping the Madness under Control!”
Clairvoyance, telepathy, or the highly profitable channeler, is any of it real?
Ahh...No!
I've never seen any evidence, and more importantly, the experts agree.
Harry Houdini, whose name is synonymous with "magician" held a strong and skeptical view when it came to spiritualists and mediums.
He was critical of those who claimed to have supernatural abilities, especially spiritualists who purported to communicate with the deceased. Let me clarify, he wanted to expose those who took advantage of grieving people who would enrich their pockets by providing services to communicate with the dead.
Following the death of his mother in 1913, Houdini became interested in the possibility of communicating with the afterlife. Houdini witnesses various mediums in action. He became convinced that they were charlatans preying on the grief-stricken.

Do You Need a Magician at Your Cocktail Hour?
Thoughts from Boston's Best Wedding Magician.
Of course, you don't. We have to put limits on everything. Well, presuming you have a budget.
How many guests will you have, 50? 100? more, maybe less. Often, we can't invite everyone we might like to have at our weddings. These are the tough decisions we have to make. Friends and loved ones are the hardest cuts you might have to make.
I know you will have music, at least a DJ, some even have live bands, and I've heard some great ones.
Whoever thought it might be nice to have a "real Magician" perform at their wedding reception.
I'm pretty certain it wasn't anybody from the U.S. My guess would be England. The Brits see things differently. They're humour is different. (See what I did there...humour ;))
I've worked numerous weddings, all went extremely well. People are always "knocked for six" the first time they see a "magician" for the first time. Not your Uncle George...a real entertainer. But it's big mental leap for the planner to take that step, or maybe a leap.
I'm not a salesman. In the sense that I'm not going to pressure you or pitch you into something you're not quite sure of. (Good salespeople never do that, but it does happen.)
My only pitch is my videos. See the fun and excitement magic creates. That's all. Here's a link to my YouTube Channel.
If you've got the budget, give me a call at 339-927-4710 and I'll do my best to make it work out.
I will guarantee your satisfaction...and I'll guarantee that I'll be the least expensive vendor at your wedding. (You might say the cheapest vendor.) Definitely the "most bang for your buck!"
Sincerely,
Joe Ferranti
