Is your function crying out for a Magician in Nottingham?

By Christopher Simpson


Are you currently in the planning stages for an event or function? If so you will have most probably given some thought to the type of entertainment you want. As a magician in Nottingham with over ten year's experience, I would like to offer you some invaluable advice to ensure your big day goes as smoothly as possible. Firstly remember this golden rule. Always go pro. An amateur may be tempting with their cheaper price tags, but their lack of real world experience will always leave you on edge.

A professional Nottingham Magician will have the experience at performing at a wide range of corporate and private events. They will have seen it and experienced it all. As a result they will be more prepared to deal with difficulties and be flexible if things aren't going quite plan. The amateur will often struggle in this kind of environment and look to someone else for guidance. How can you tell the professionals from the amateurs?

Take a look at the websites of these performers. Ensure they have a good quality one, there's no real excuse in this day and age to not have a presence online. Any Nottingham magician who is serious about their career will have spent a lot of time and money investing in a website. It will be considered an online CV, something they should be very proud of. The next stage is Testimonials. Have a look at what others are saying about the performer. If you can't find any reviews or quotes then there's a good possibility that this particular performer either hasn't got the performing experience they are making out or is doing an awful job and not generating positive feedback.

A good quality show reel is essential to the modern performer. It can be one of the most valuable assets on their website because it sells their act without them being there. No professional Nottingham Magician will be without a show reel and if they are. It's a sign that underneath their fancy website, they probably don't perform much. A show reel will give a true sense of the style of performance and how they interact with their audiences. If the show reel is good is a very good sign. If it's filmed in a backstreet with random members of the public, well, I think you get the picture.

By now, you should have got a performer in mind. Their testimonials look good and the show reel is excellent. Make contact with them; find out what they can offer you and how much the booking will cost. A decent Nottingham magician will be in the region of 350 - 500 for a Mix & Mingle booking. A stand up or cabaret show will start about 700 and could go up to over 1000. These prices will vary from county to county. London and the surrounding areas the prices will be significantly higher.
