When should I book a corporate magician for a winter event?

Aim to confirm your magician by October — holiday magic slots fill fast, and booking early gives you first pick of dates.

What format of magic works best for different parts of the event?

Close-up magic shines during drinks/cocktail hours and networking. A short parlour show pairs nicely with seated dinners and coffee. A parlour show is just a fancy word for a small show to a seated audience, usually from a stage area, whereas close-up is performed to individuals in groups.

How can I ensure the magician’s routine fits my company culture?

It's always a great idea to share your event theme, company values, and guest demographics in advance so the performance can be tailored to your audience.

Winter office parties and holiday gatherings are about more than festive decor and mulled wine; they’re prime opportunities to build morale and team spirit. Here are my top five tips to make sure your winter corporate event sparkles with magic rather than fizzling out.

Book early to secure your date

Holiday season magic slots fill fast, so aim to confirm your magician by October. That way, you avoid the last-minute scramble and get first pick of dates.

Choose the right format

Will it be a drinks reception or a seated dinner? Close-up magic, mixing and mingling, works wonders during cocktail hours, while a short parlour show fits neatly after the main course with coffee.

Tailor routines to company culture

A financial firm might enjoy sleek mind-reading routines, while a creative agency may prefer playful, interactive tricks. Share your event theme and company values with me so the performance feels bespoke.

Consider space and timing

Winter events often move indoors to tighter venues, so check with your entertainer on space requirements, and slot magic into your schedule when energy dips, usually mid-evening.

Provide guest insights upfront

Let me know about your guest mix, their interests and group sizes. The more I know, the more seamless and engaging the performance.
