You’ve been tasked with planning your company’s upcoming corporate event in Toronto. The date is fast approaching, and you’ve got most of the details locked in: venue, keynote speakers, catering, and decor. But there’s one important thing left to do—book the entertainment!
Hiring the right magician can transform your event into an unforgettable experience. As a professional magician specializing in corporate and family events in Toronto, I’ve helped countless organizers make their events a huge success. Here are great tips to help you choose the perfect magician:
1. Know Your Audience
Will your guests include families and children, or is it an exclusive event for corporate professionals? Whether your goal is to create laughter and amazement for families or to break the ice with a room full of executives, a magician needs to tailor their material to your audience.
Take time to review the magician’s website and promotional material. For example, I specialize in corporate events, trade shows, and family-friendly occasions, so my performances are designed to captivate a wide range of audiences. Client reviews are especially helpful—look for detailed testimonials from people who hosted events similar to yours.
2. Decide What Type of Magic You Want
Picture this: I’m mingling with your guests during the cocktail hour, performing close-up magic that amazes them right in their hands. Or imagine me taking the stage for a high-energy 45-minute show filled with comedy, jaw-dropping illusions, mentalism and audience interaction.
Do you want strolling magic, a stage show, or both? Combining these options can create a full experience that keeps your guests talking for weeks.
3. Match the Magic to Your Venue
Your Toronto venue plays a big role in deciding what type of magic will work best.
• Corporate Events: A sleek downtown venue might call for a polished stage show to impress professionals.
• Outdoor Spaces: Close-up strolling magic is ideal for mingling guests.
• Trade Shows: Magic at your booth can draw crowds and make your brand memorable.
As a Toronto-based magician, I’ve performed in venues ranging from small boardrooms to large banquet halls, so I know how to adapt my magic to any space.
4. Pick the Perfect Time for the Show
The timing of a performance can make a big difference:
• Cocktail Hour: Strolling magic breaks the ice and energizes the room.
• Dinner Parties: Close-up magic keeps guests entertained between courses. A stage may be the highlight of the event!
• After Dinner: A stage show is the perfect way to end the evening with a bang.
I work with my clients to find the perfect slot to fit their event schedule, ensuring that the magic enhances the flow of the evening.
5. Speak with the Magician Before Booking
A conversation with a prospective magician is essential. This gives you a chance to assess their professionalism and personality. A skilled magician should be able to address your concerns and demonstrate genuine interest in making your event a success.
When we speak, I’ll ask about your event goals, venue, and audience to ensure the performance is tailored to your needs. Many clients find it helpful to see a magician perform in person. If you’re curious, let me know—I perform regularly at events across Toronto and would be happy to share upcoming opportunities for you to watch me in action.
Hiring the right magician can make your event unforgettable. Whether it’s a corporate function, birthday celebration, or trade show, my goal is to create magical moments your guests will cherish.
