TOP 7 QUESTIONS TO ASK WHEN BOOKING A CORPORATE MAGICIAN

Looking to add wonder and excitement to your corporate event? Fun Corporate Magic understands booking magic entertainment for corporate events is not an easy task. With years amazing the most demanding corporate crowds in NYC and all over the world, we know what you should ask to safely book a corporate magician and create an unforgettable experience:

1. DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE ENTERTAINING AT CORPORATE EVENTS?

It is essential to confirm a magician has expertise performing specifically for corporate environments like conferences, company leadership events, holiday parties, and awards galas just to name a few. At Fun Corporate Magic, we make sure to match you with performers who best suit your event type, industry, corporate culture, and more. This allows us to provide you with performer’s who’s style and charisma are tailored to your specific needs and event goals. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information about your magician or mentalist. We’re here to help you book with confidence.

2. HOW DO YOU INCORPORATE OUR BRAND INTO THE TRICKS?

Our corporate magicians work hand-on-hand with our clients early on to seamlessly integrate branding elements such as logos, slogans, messaging, and products through customized tricks. At Fun Corporate Magic we ensure we fully understand your event goals and design our routines with those goals in mind. You can relax knowing we think of every detail—so you can focus on enjoying the magical experience! Check out our case-studies and ask us for examples of how we’ve successfully incorporated our magic to promote brands at past corporate events.

3. WHAT’S YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS FOR CUSTOMIZING SHOWS?

We start by learning about your company, your specific goals, and who are the attendees or guests, letting those insights guide our performers to design fully customized tricks. Want to highlight the CEO or an important client? Perhaps you’d like us to incorporate one of your products or make them magically appear? Hoping to create social media buzz? At Fun Corporate Magic we collaborate closely with each one of our clients to deliver performances that drive meaningful results and a positive ROI. We have a system that we call “10 Steps to Success” which is a creative process that turns your messaging into interactive magic tricks that will make a WOW impression upon your guests.

4. WHAT TYPES OF MAGIC DO YOU PERFORM AT CORPORATE EVENTS?

There are different types of performance styles, including the sleight of hand for walk around engagements; a one man show or mentalism act, and even a full stage illusion show for small and larger events; or an “infomercial” for trade shows booths which helps you attract, retain, and convert attendees into prospective clients, driving conversion higher up. And there are also magic workshops to boost your employees’ performance. Ask about what program fits best your vision and what works best for your specific event and goals. For instance, at Fun Corporate Magic we suggest strolling magic for receptions and cocktail-style events; a cabaret or stage show can be perfect to kick off a gala or staff event. Are you planning a bring-your-child-to-work day? We can handle that too! The key here is we carefully evaluate your needs and propose the best magic program that will make your event a complete success.

5. HOW WILL YOUR ACT SPECIFICALLY KEEP MY GUESTS ENGAGED AND ENTERTAINED?

Keeping guests engaged comes down to making them feel the magic was created exclusively for them. Our magicians customize every routine based on your specific event goals, target audience, and desired atmosphere. We take the time to truly understand your vision, then craft an interactive experience that perfectly fits your group and your specific needs.

6. ARE THERE RESTRICTIONS AROUND PHOTOGRAPHING OR FILMING YOUR ACT?

In the social sharing age, recording policies affect guest experiences. Many magicians restrict filming to protect illusion secrets yet some easily permit it. Know photo rules upfront so you can set expectations with your attendees. That being said, our magicians love being part of your guests social media contents, so just make sure you tag us @funcorporatemagic and @illusionistmatias.

7. WHAT TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS AND VENUE ACCOMMODATIONS ARE NEEDED?

Every magician has different needs based on the type of corporate show they are performing. A strolling magician performing card tricks amongst tables may require minimal accommodations, while a stage performer presenting large illusions could necessitate robust AV, lighting, etc. Be sure to understand all rider requirements around. At Fun Corporate Magic, we sent you a rider with out technical requirements and we work with you to make sure everything runs smooth.
