The Future of Virtual Magic Shows (For Virtual Magicians)

Virtual magic shows have been around for a while, but they've really taken off in recent years, due in part to the Coronavirus and the shift toward work-at-home. Thanks to advances in technology, virtual magicians are able to perform their tricks for larger audiences than ever before. For the last year we have had an amazing run of articles on virtual magic in The Linking Ring (and my blog), and now we’ve arrived at this final installment. For this special piece I’ve interviewed some top magicians who were seriously killing it in online magic shows during the height of the virtual magic era, and asked them for some data on what percentage of their performances are still virtual versus in-person events. 

We’ve also discussed what they think about the future of the virtual magic industry. So now that we have some data, what does the future hold for virtual magic shows? Here are a few predictions:

1. More virtual magicians will perform for corporate events and less for personal parties

As virtual technology gets more sophisticated, businesses are starting to recognize the potential of using virtual magic shows for corporate events. After all, virtual magicians can reach a global audience – and that means more clients and customers for businesses. Virtual magic is the future of corporate entertainment. More virtual magicians will start to perform for corporate holiday events, company happy hours, and other private business parties. This is because virtual magic allows for a more personal experience that can be tailored to the client's needs when working from home. 

Additionally, virtual magic shows can be performed from anywhere in the world, which makes them more convenient and affordable for both the performer and the client. While many events, including weddings, baby showers, and birthdays are back to being done primarily in-person, more and more companies are moving to a permanent work-from-home and hybrid environments for their employees. A whopping 20% of information workers, 19.7% of those being finance and insurance and 17.6% of those being in professional and technical services worked from home last month according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Because of this shift in the type of virtual events the primary “season” for virtual magicians will be the holiday months of October and December when many companies have holiday parties. Accordingly, the data we collected clearly demonstrates virtual show requests increase to up to four times the normal amount for most performers during the holiday season.

“I invested a lot of time and effort into creating an original high-production value virtual magic show, under the assumption that the virtual medium was here to stay. While I obviously didn’t expect demands to remain at 2020/2021 levels, I did (and still do believe) that there is a market for virtual performances, especially within the corporate market. With so many organizations having 100% virtual workforces, I believe that there will be a continued demand for virtual programs that connect team members with each other despite the geographic distances. That said, this is merely a hope and an assumption on my part. Only time will tell if this is true.” -Trigg Watson (Los Angeles, California)

“Virtual shows are now a normal part of life. For organizations that are remote company cultures it is an easy fit to add a virtual show to their weekly meetings. For groups that are immunocompromised they are grateful that virtual shows are a shared experience they can have together that is so accessible. Many fortune 500 corporations now see the benefit of having hybrid events where people who can’t be on site can still participate in the conferences and a key to that is to provide virtual only content. Virtual shows are here to stay.” -Paul Draper (Las Vegas, Nevada)

2. Virtual magic shows will become more creative and interactive, and virtual magicians will start to experiment with new platforms and hybrid events.

One of the great things about virtual magic shows is that they can be made more interactive than traditional live shows. This means that audiences can get involved in more tricks and even help to create them in a variety of new ways. As virtual technology evolves, virtual magicians will have even more scope to be creative with their shows. We'll see new and innovative tricks that simply wouldn't be possible with traditional live magic shows.

At the moment, virtual magic shows are mostly being performed on video-sharing platforms like Zoom and WebEx. But as virtual technology evolves, virtual magicians will begin experimenting with new platforms and hybrid events. For example, we might start to see virtual magic shows being performed in virtual reality (VR) environments. Penn and Teller have already developed a virtual reality game. Many larger companies are also shifting to hybrid style shows where a magician is in person performing for a live audience but also projected onto a zoom or other virtual platform for others all over the world to see.

“I think that hybrid shows will have more place in the future for multi national companies. I also think that some shows/lectures/seminars will come back to virtual again when the economy will drop down and companies will try to save again on big events.” -Lior Manor (Tel Aviv, Israel)

“The age of virtual shows falling in your lap are over. The people who want to continue doing them will now need to put together an actual business plan and seek out the people who need their services. Fully remote teams at major international corporations still exist and likely will be the biggest market for virtual going forward. I also see a future in platforms like Airbnb experiences” -Zachary Gartrell (New York, New York)

“I’m personally not doing virtual shows at the moment but I’m constantly getting requests. What is most interesting to me is the hybrid model that keeps popping up.” -Carisa Hendrix 

3. There will be higher demand for virtual magic shows with fewer virtual magicians 

There's no doubt that virtual magic shows have passed their height of popularity – at least in this moment in time – but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still needed. With more and more people working from home, there's a growing demand for entertainment that can be enjoyed from the comfort of one's own work space. And what could be more entertaining for a company team than a virtual magic show?

However, even as corporate virtual magic shows become more broadly popular, there are fewer virtual magicians to meet the demand. That's because becoming a virtual magician takes a lot of time, effort, and specific practice. The marketing, PR, and SEO needs for virtual shows are also entirely different then other events. It's not something that just anyone can jump into doing. Many magicians never even started doing virtual magic during the lockdown at all. A large group of performers who prefer live shows and direct contact with their audience simply choose to “wait it out” or take a break and not do any shows at all during those one to two years. Another group of magicians hopped on the virtual wagon in March 2020 but immediately stopped performing virtual shows in 2021-22 and haven’t done a single one since their city reopened after lockdowns. Mainly, because they were busy with live shows again.

It is a much smaller group of virtual magicians who have chosen to make it their niche and continue to thrive exclusively on virtual shows. Those are the magicians that will be ready to meet the increasing corporate demand.

“Virtual magic is taking a more “casual” seat in the world of entertainment. More formal events are going to be done in person.” -Chris Michael (Richmond, Virginia)

“99% of my shows are virtual. I don’t really know what December will look like but hopefully it will be great. Zoom entertainment is an uncharted territory full of untapped markets and unique opportunities. it remains 100% of my focus” -Harrison Kramer (New York, New York)

“I’d say the requests for virtual shows have dropped down tremendously in the past few months.

As a result we’ve shifted our marketing to attract more in person- and our shows reflect that.” -Benzi Train (Toronto, Canada)

“ McBride Magic and Mystery school has been streaming online doing weekly shows and classes for 11 years! Zoom is an incredible medium…Zoom is here to stay.” -Jeff McBride (Las Vegas, Nevada)

So there you have it, three analyses and predictions for the future of virtual magic shows, as well as some interesting insights from some of the virtual magic industry’s top minds. While it seems as though the heyday of virtual has passed there are still plenty of virtual opportunities available to those of us willing to try and focus on the virtual magician path. If you’re willing to put in the work and target a specific clientele anything is possible. Are you excited for the future of this burgeoning and technology driven industry?

What Does a Strolling Magician Do?

A strolling magician is someone who walks around the crowd, and performs magic tricks or illusions right in front of their audience.

They will often move from group to group, table to table, or person to person as they entertain and amaze your guests!

Conclusion:

Make Your Wedding Magical with a Magic Show

If you’re looking to make your wedding extra special, why not add a touch of magic? A wedding magic show can be the perfect way to surprise and delight your guests. Whether you want to create an unforgettable moment as part of the ceremony, or you want to offer something different during the reception, a magical performance is sure to be an instant hit. Let’s explore what goes into putting on an unforgettable wedding magic show.

The Magician

When it comes time to choose a magician for your special day, there are several things to consider. First and foremost, they should have plenty of experience performing at weddings—you don’t want any surprises on the big day! Ask potential magicians how many weddings they’ve done before, and whether they have any video footage of their show that you can watch. It’s also important to make sure the magician has all the necessary insurance in place just in case something unexpected happens.

The Performance

A great magician will tailor their performance based on your particular event. Some people like close-up magic performed right at their tables while others prefer a larger stage show with bigger tricks. Whatever type of performance you choose, make sure that it captures the vibe of your special day—it should feel fun and exciting without taking away from the other elements of your wedding celebration. Another thing to consider is whether there will be kids attending; if so, you may want to ask the magician about which tricks would be best for a younger audience.

Atmosphere

Once you’ve decided on what kind of performance you want, it’s time to think about atmosphere. You can set up seating around a stage or have the magician move from table to table; either way will work as long as it fits in with your overall vision for your wedding celebration. If there’s dancing afterwards, it might be nice for everyone who missed out on seeing the show during dinner (or vice versa) get one last chance to see some amazing magic before they get up on their feet!

Conclusion:

A wedding magic show can truly take your special day from great to unforgettable! When selecting a magician for your big day, make sure they have plenty of experience performing at weddings and that they're insured in case anything unexpected happens during their performance. Also consider what type of show would fit best with the atmosphere and tone of your celebration; whether it's close-up table magic or something more grandiose on stage, having someone create some magical moments is always popular with guests young and old alike! With these tips in hand, finding just the right performer for your special day should be easy as pie—or perhaps easier than pie…magic!

How to Build a Team Virtually

In the age of remote work, virtual team building is becoming increasingly important. Building an effective and cohesive team is difficult enough when everyone is in the same office—it can be even more challenging when members are working remotely. However, with the right strategies and tools, it’s possible to build a strong virtual team with great success.

Understanding the Benefits of Virtual Team Building

The first step in successful virtual team building is understanding why it’s so important in the first place. For starters, having a strong virtual team allows you to tap into talent from all over the world instead of being limited by geography. Additionally, because there are fewer expenses associated with remote work (no need for office space or additional equipment), it can save businesses money in the long run. Finally, studies have shown that employees who work remotely tend to be more productive than those who work in traditional settings.

Making Use of Technology

Technology is essential for successful virtual team building. Not only does it allow teams to communicate quickly and efficiently (think video conferencing and instant messaging), but it also provides opportunities for collaboration that would otherwise be impossible. For example, shared documents enable teams to collaborate on projects without ever having to leave their own homes or offices—they just have to log into their online accounts! Additionally, technology makes it easier for managers to keep track of deadlines and progress on projects so that everyone can stay on track and accountable for their work.

Creating an Effective Culture

When it comes down to it, culture is what makes any team successful—including virtual ones. It’s important for managers to create an environment where every member feels appreciated and valued no matter where they are physically located. This means finding ways for everyone on the team to connect with each other and foster relationships outside of their job roles; things like weekly check-ins or group activities can help make this happen. Additionally, providing feedback regularly will ensure that everyone feels heard and respected within the team dynamic.

Conclusion:

Virtual teams may feel intimidating at first, but they don’t have to be! With the right strategies and tools in place, you can create a successful remote team that works together seamlessly despite being miles apart from each other geographically. Understanding both the benefits of remote work as well as how technology facilitates collaboration are key elements in making this happen—as is creating an effective culture focused on appreciation and respect among teammates regardless of location or role within the organization. With these tips in mind, you'll be well on your way towards successfully building a strong virtual team!

More Interactivity

One of the major benefits of having a virtual show is that it allows for more interactivity between both the magician and the audience. As opposed to just watching a performance from afar, audience members can ask questions and even participate in some tricks during online shows. This makes the entire experience more engaging—and more fun! Plus, it gives magicians more opportunities to flex their improv skills and make each show unique.

A Wide Reach

Another great thing about virtual magic shows is that they can reach people anywhere in the world. With an online show, there’s no need to worry about travel costs or other logistical considerations—it’s just as easy for someone in London as it is for someone in Los Angeles to tune into your performance. This also means that you can have larger audiences if you want, which makes for even more exciting shows!

Enhanced Visuals

Thanks to modern technology, digital magic shows can do things that physical ones simply cannot. For example, certain effects like 3D illusions or augmented reality tricks are only possible on screens—which adds an extra layer of amazement when you watch them unfold right before your eyes! Even something as simple as using high-definition video feeds can make all the difference when it comes to creating truly captivating performances.

Conclusion:

Virtual magic shows are quickly becoming one of the most popular forms of entertainment out there—and it’s not hard to see why! By taking advantage of modern technology and providing interactive experiences, these digital performances offer something completely different than traditional shows ever could—and better yet, they’re accessible from anywhere in the world.

The first step in hosting a party-worthy Zoom magic show is to make sure your supplies are in order. You’ll need playing cards, coins, cups, and other miscellaneous items you can use as props for your tricks. It also helps to have something like an empty tissue box or hat that can serve as the repository for the objects you'll be using during the show.

Pick Out Some Tricks

Once you've gathered all of your supplies, it's time to pick out some tricks! Do some research online for classic tricks like card sleights and coin vanishes. Also consider learning some more advanced tricks such as card manipulation or even mentalism. If you’re brand new to performing magic tricks, start by practicing on yourself before trying them out on an audience. This will give you confidence when it comes time for the show!

Create A Set List & Rehearse

After selecting your trick set list, rehearse each trick until they become second nature. This will ensure that everything runs smoothly during the performance and that you don't mess up any important steps or reveal any secrets! The best way to practice is by having someone else watch as you perform each trick so they can give feedback on what works and what doesn't.

Invite Your Guests

Now that everything is ready, it's time to invite your guests! Make sure everyone knows ahead of time what type of party they are attending so they can come prepared with their own props if necessary. Additionally, let guests know if there will be any kind of special dress code (like wearing fun hats!) or other activities tied into the event.

Conclusion:

There's never been a better time than now to put on an unforgettable Zoom magic show! All it takes is some research on magic tricks, gathering supplies from around the house, rehearsing until perfecting each trick becomes second nature, and inviting friends and family members over for an evening full of fun and wonderment. With just a bit of planning and preparation, hosting a virtual magic show is sure to be one zoom call no one soon forgets!

When Strolling Magicians are the Center of Attention

The phrase ‘strolling magician’ might bring to mind a lone figure in a long coat, top hat and cape walking through a crowd performing magic tricks. While that image is certainly accurate, there’s so much more to strolling magicians than meets the eye. Here’s why strolling magicians are an increasingly popular center of attention at events ranging from corporate gatherings to birthday parties.

The Benefits of Hiring a Strolling Magician

One of the most obvious benefits of hiring a strolling magician is that they can move around and mingle with guests, which makes them ideal for larger events or those where people don’t know each other. In addition, depending on their performance style, they can draw large crowds as people come over to watch their show. This allows guests to break the ice by having something fun and exciting to talk about.

Strolling magicians often use props such as cards, coins, ropes and more in order to create awe-inspiring illusions that almost seem too good to be true! They also specialize in close-up magic, which involves small objects like coins or rings being made to disappear right before your eyes! A great strolling magician will always have something new up his sleeve; whether it's an unexpected prank or some form of audience participation that will leave your guests talking about it for days after the event.

The best part is that you don't have to worry about setting up special equipment or finding a place for the magician to perform since they can go anywhere and everywhere with their act! What could be better?

Conclusion:

A strolling magician isn't just an entertainer—they're an experience! Whether you're planning a corporate gathering or simply looking for entertainment at a birthday party, hiring a strolling magician can add excitement and wonderment for all ages. With their ability to move around freely amongst guests, no two performances will ever be alike - making it truly unique every time! If you're looking for something special and unforgettable that your guests won't soon forget, then hiring a strolling magician should definitely be at the top of your list!

What is the Magic in a Wedding Magic Show?

It’s no secret that weddings are magical, but what if you could add a little real magic to your special day? Wedding magic shows are a unique form of entertainment that can bring out the “wow” factor at any wedding reception. It’s an excellent way to break the ice and get your guests mingling with each other—and it’s a great way to make sure your wedding reception is remembered for years to come! Let’s take a closer look at why you should consider adding a professional magician to your list of wedding vendors.

A Professional Touch

When it comes to creating unforgettable memories at your wedding, nothing beats having a professional entertainer on hand. A professional magician will have experience performing at events like yours and will know how to engage an audience. They will also be able to create routines tailored specifically for your event and your guests, ensuring that everyone has an amazing time. You can even choose a theme for their show—whether it’s fairy tales, card tricks, or something else entirely—to add an extra touch of magic!

Audience Interaction

No matter what type of show you opt for, one thing is certain—your guests will be involved! A professional magician will involve various members of the crowd in their performance throughout the night. This not only creates an engaging atmosphere but also encourages people from different backgrounds and generations to interact with one another. The best part? Everyone gets in on the act without feeling like they are being put on the spot!

Making Memories Last

At the end of the day, weddings are all about making memories that last forever. A well-executed magic show can do just that! Your guests will be left mesmerized by all the incredible tricks performed by your magician, and you'll have plenty of photos and videos capturing these moments for eternity. Plus, when people ask about how you entertained your guests on such an important day, you'll have some amazing stories (and pictures!) to share with them!

Conclusion:

No matter what type of wedding celebration you're planning, adding a wedding magic show can help make it even more special. Not only does this provide entertainment for everyone involved, but it helps bring people together in unique ways that create lasting memories. With so much potential benefit from such an easy addition to your reception plans, adding a professional magician should definitely be something you consider as you plan out all aspects of your dream wedding!

3 Virtual Magic Show Add-Ons to Make You More Money if You're a Virtual Magician (for Magicians)

Happy March! This month, in order to mark the three year anniversary of virtual magic shows, I thought we could celebrate by sharing a handful of ideas and add-ons that you could use to double your income in the realm of virtual entertainment. These wonderful options have been time-tested and used for the last two years with awesome results. Clients love them and usually choose at least one add-on for every show. You will have great success if you implement them when quoting clients.

1. Extend Your Virtual Magic Show Length

You can use a time add-on for your virtual magic show to generate more income. You can do this by having a shorter 30-45 minute show as your base offering and then while on the phone tell them you can do an add-on of an additional 15-30 minutes for an added cost. That way the client can basically pick the show length to match their occasion for their specific audience. More often than not clients want a 30-45 minute virtual show; if it’s any longer than that, people have a hard time focusing and they get “zoom fatigue”. It’s recommended that your initial show be 30 minutes and the add-on time offered is 15 minutes. After trying it a few different ways, I’ve had the most success with that timing structure.

2. Magic Workshop Using Household Items as an add on to your Virtual Magic Show

Another wonderful way to extend your time entertaining a virtual group, make more money, and offer something different is to recommend a virtual magic workshop. This is an excellent add-on to a virtual show and works for many occasions and groups. If the virtual magic show is a virtual corporate event then it’s perfect. You can offer this as a great “team building magic workshop” and a way to break the ice amongst employees who work remotely and don’t get to interact face to face often. Magic is a great way to improve confidence, speaking skills and a fun way to connect virtually with clients (all are useful skills in a corporate setting). If the occasion is for a school assembly, then I sell it as a “sneaky way” to teach the kids something fun and interactive after the virtual magic show. Children feel empowered when they learn magic and it helps them to utilize problem solving skills and puzzle-solving skills.

You can offer this as a 15-25 minute experience for teaching one easy magic trick. Don’t put a set time limit on it because you don’t know exactly how long it will take. You want to make sure you’ve given everyone a chance to ask questions, giving personal attention, and make sure the majority (at least 80%) have learned the trick. It’s better to over explain and take a little more time than to end early and have an unhappy customer. Pick a trick that’s visual and easy to do. Make sure it’s with common household items that can be found anywhere. There are some super fun and easy money tricks that don’t require that many props to perform. However, be careful when teaching these. If you’re doing a virtual magic show or virtual event where not everyone in the audience is watching it in America, I’d recommend doing something else that involves different household items for the props list. In many other countries the money is made of plastic and makes some of the magic where you fold the bills hard to do. There are plenty of easy to teach tricks that use household items. If you don’t have any in your repertoire, then Google can be very resourceful.

3. Mailed Magic Supplies and Props for Guests who attend the Virtual Magic Show

Offering physical mailed magic products that your audience either interacts with throughout the show or can use to learn magic tricks (or both) is also a fantastic add-on. Again, this is a bit more difficult to do if many people in the audience are overseas or in different countries but it can triple your income if you do it the right way and make it easy on yourself to mail the items out. Being organized and making simple to use systems is important especially when you have larger orders of 100 or more and 100 different addresses to mail them to.

 If you’re mailing within your country or even a nearby country this is a great offering. I’ve had zero trouble mailing items around the United States and even to Canada from California.

You can offer to do the hard work yourself and address, post mark, and mail them to the individual guests. I’d recommend this as it makes this option easy on the client and doesn’t give them extra work. Take the item’s average shipping cost and item worth then multiply that a few times to get the cost of the magic add-on you offer to the client. For example, if a kit is $3 to buy in bulk and $3-$4 to ship then you can sell them for $20 to each person. That way you incorporate your work and time into the sale and you can feel good about the exchange. You wouldn’t want to spend hours packaging up kits only to resent your client before the show even starts. So learn from my mistakes, make sure that your mailed offerings factor in your time cost as well. Then everybody wins.

These kits could be as simple as a branded deck of cards or as complex as an entire official “Custom Named” magic kit. For custom made magic kits I highly recommend the website www.custommagickits.com or if you prefer a cheaper more do-it-yourself approach then you can buy items in bulk from www.alibaba.com and put them together yourself. The possibilities are endless!

Virtual Magic Show Tips:

In conclusion, add -ons are amazing. They will help you triple your income if you can take the time to incorporate them smoothly in your sales pitch. Try not to have more than 2-3 so you don’t overwhelm your client with the multitude of choices. You can also offer add-ons to your in-person live magic shows. For example, if you have a solid 45 minute birthday show, but also have that special illusion trick that takes forever to set up (where the birthday child feels extra special), maybe the trick is really heavy, or just annoying to do in every show. THAT’S PERFECT. -that’s a perfect offering to have as an add-on. Your 45 minute virtual magic show may start as just a case and table with a 10 minute prep but in addition to your base show you can offer add-ons for providing a backdrop or doing more illusions that take time to build, carry and set up. There are many more options you can upsell with and I encourage you to begin thinking of others that are appropriate to your situation and skill-set. Now go make that money and celebrate! Happy three year anniversary to virtual magic shows!

How to Build Team Spirit in the Virtual Office

The pandemic has forced many of us to work from home, and this shift has brought with it a unique set of challenges. One such challenge is virtual team building. After all, how do you build team spirit when you’re not in the same physical space? Without the usual office amenities and activities that bring people together, it can be difficult to foster an environment of camaraderie and collaboration. Luckily, there are still plenty of ways to make sure your remote team is connected and engaged—you just have to get creative! Here are some tips for virtual team building.

Video Chatting & Hangouts

The simplest way to stay connected is by regularly video chatting with your teammates. This doesn’t have to be a formal meeting; sometimes just having an informal chat can help build rapport between coworkers. You can even organize small group hangouts or happy hours where everyone can catch up with each other outside of work. Schedule these events on a regular basis so that everyone in the group knows when they will take place. This will give your team something fun to look forward to each week!

Virtual Events & Activities

Virtual events and activities are one of the best ways for teams to bond and build relationships without leaving their homes. Depending on the size of your group, you can plan scavenger hunts, trivia nights or game tournaments over Zoom or any other platform that allows video calling. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also organize virtual escape rooms or mystery games similar to those found at real-life escape rooms! These types of activities are great for fostering collaboration as well as getting everyone comfortable with each other in a fun setting.

Team Challenges

If you’re looking for something more low-key but still engaging, arrange a series of challenges that your team members must complete within a certain time frame like baking a cake, doing yoga or learning a new language! This type of challenge encourages camaraderie as everyone works together towards completing their individual tasks while also staying connected virtually throughout the process. Plus, once everyone finishes their challenges, you can compare results over video chat or email--a great way for teammates from different geographic locations to come together in celebration!

Conclusion:

Virtual team building is essential for maintaining morale and productivity amongst remote teams during these unprecedented times. By utilizing video chatting & hangouts, planning virtual activities & events and organizing collaborative challenges, companies can ensure that their employees continue working together cohesively despite being physically apart. In addition to boosting morale among remote workers, these activities also foster creativity and collaboration which are key components for any successful team! So get creative and start planning some virtual bonding sessions with your colleagues today!
