Corporate Events that Amaze: How a Magician Adds Excitement & Engagement

Corporate events play an important role in fostering business relationships, improving morale and leaving a lasting impression on your guests. And your choice of entertainment can add to this. Hiring a corporate magician can make your event stand out from the rest and leave your guests amazed. 

In this blog, we discuss the benefits that a corporate magician can bring to your event, elevating it into a memorable and magical experience.

What are corporate event magicians?

One of the key differences between a corporate magician and other types of magicians is their understanding of the corporate audience. A corporate magician knows that the audience will differ from a birthday party or magic show crowd. They know that guests at a corporate event are often employees, clients or other professionals and that the goal of the event is often to entertain and impress these parties. 

As a result, a corporate magician will tailor their performance to the audience and your company event. They will use table magic, close up magic and cabaret magic to entertain guests and facilitate relationships and team-building. If need be, they may also tie in your corporate message or theme to their performance. For instance, you may be launching a product that can be incorporated into a disappearing act. In doing so, their performance will not only be enjoyable, but also beneficial to your company’s goals. 

Benefits of hiring a corporate magician 

Understands business

A corporate magician has a good understanding of business and knows there are certain goals that need to be achieved during a corporate event. Because they are often businesspeople themselves they have experience in sales, marketing or management. This allows them to tailor their performances accordingly in order to relate to your guests.

Audience engagement

Corporate event magicians excel at captivating an audience’s attention and making sure everyone is engaged and entertained throughout the event. They use their skills to involve even the most reserved attendees, creating a lively atmosphere that promotes networking and relationship-building. You’ll find that employees from different departments will interact and chat about the magic they’ve just witnessed. And that’s great for morale and an overall successful event!

Tailored performances

If your event has a specific theme or message, corporate magicians will ensure they seamlessly integrate it into their performance. They can even incorporate your company logo or products into their magic acts to create a unique experience that reinforces your brand. This is especially beneficial if your event is a company launch or includes potential clients or investors that you want to impress.

Memorable experience

An enthralling magic performance will definitely leave a lasting impression on your guests, ensuring your event is remembered and talked about long after it’s over. This can help to build your company’s reputation and make future events even more highly anticipated. 

How to choose the right magician for your corporate event

It’s essential to choose the right corporate magician that will not only suit your event but also your budget. Here are 6 things to think about when deciding on a magician to hire.

1. Track record

Does the magician have a history of performing at corporate events like yours? If so, they will have a strong understanding of the corporate environment and be able to tailor their performance to suit your requirements.

2. Style 

Consider what style of magic you want to feature at your event. For instance close up magicians can perform table magic which is ideal if your guests will be seated. It’s important to find a magician whose style aligns with your vision for the event’s entertainment.

3. Reputation 

Reviews are crucial when deciding on a magician. Research their reputation and read any testimonials from previous clients to get a sense of the quality of their performances.

4. Budget 

Your budget is a big deciding factor when it comes to entertainment. A higher priced professional magician will offer a more polished performance, which can effectively impact the success of your event.

5. Demo videos

You will want to have a look at demo videos of the magician’s previous performances or magic acts. This will give you a better idea of their style and help you to visualise how their act will complement your event.
