What is a Corporate Magician?

When you think about a magician, what comes to mind first? You might be imagining a theater show, perhaps a cruise ship, or even a street performer in a big city. Those are all places where you could find a magician performing their trade, but corporate events are also a big part of the magic scene. Putting on an entertaining, exciting show for a corporate audience is a challenge that requires a strong set of skills, which is why a corporate magician is often called in for the job.

In this post, I’d like to take a moment to discuss what a corporate magician is and what traits or capabilities you should be looking for if you are going to hire one for an upcoming event.

Bringing Life to the Party

There are many important benefits to holding corporate events. Whatever the goals of the organization may be, a quality event can help reach those goals – whether it’s a trade show, a big company meeting, a training event, or just a party to build connections within the team. Unfortunately, even with the best of intentions and plenty of planning, some corporate events are nothing short of boring. If people in attendance are simply counting the hours until they are free to leave, something has gone wrong.

This common problem is at the heart of why a corporate magician is such an appealing option. As the entertainment for your event, a good corporate magician will be able to break the ice, make the day fun, and encourage people to stick around to see what might happen next. An event featuring a magician runs little risk of being classified as boring, and it just might wind up being one of the highlights of the year.

The Right Set of Skills

It takes a specific set of skills to thrive as a corporate magician. I have been fortunate enough to work in this capacity for some notable organizations throughout my career, and I have developed an effective strategy for engaging with the crowd and drawing them into my performance. Not all magicians are suited for corporate gigs, even if they are talented and have great tricks – so it’s important to hire one who specifically knows who to rise to this occasion.

Perhaps the most important skill other than doing great tricks is bringing an engaging, fun personality to the event. This is not a crowd that is necessarily expecting a show, and some people might not even be too happy to be there in the first place. The right personality is needed to inject some energy into the room, get people excited about seeing magic, and then deliver a great performance. It’s not easy, but when it’s done right, the whole event will be changed for the better.

Why Hire a Corporate Magician?

It’s no secret that corporate outings can be boring, even if they are important. Making the event more fun is a good starting point in terms of motivation for hiring a corporate magician, but there is much more to be gained from using this type of entertainment. Some of the other advantages include the following –

• Bring people together. Many corporate events have team building as one of their primary goals. This can be hard to achieve, especially when the event brings together people from different parts of the business who don’t often interact – and might not have much in common. With a magician in the fold, there will be something to connect over and talk about, and that might be all it takes to bring down some barriers and form the seeds of beneficial relationships.

• Improve attendance. On a fundamental level, having fun entertainment options like a magician as part of a corporate event could help you get more people to actually show up. When faced with a boring, forgettable day or evening, people will find plenty of excuses to stay away – but something that sounds fun and exciting will be far less likely to draw those same excuses.

• Impress clients. For the types of corporate events where clients or potential clients will be in attendance, it’s important to put on a great show. You want to pull out all the stops to make sure your clients know they are appreciated and valued, and adding a magician to the schedule of events is just another way to ensure they have a great time from start to finish.

For one thing, it’s a good idea to start as early as possible. Starting early with your planning will allow you to secure the availability of your desired magician, and it will also offer that magician as much time as possible to create a custom show that is precisely what you need and want for your event.

The one other tip that will help you get great results with your magician is to maintain open communication and be clear about what you want to see happen at the event. There are many different ways a magician can be used in this setting, so talking over those options and determining what format and layout is going to be the ideal fit is critical. Good communication makes everything in life work better, and this project will be no different.
