Booking The Right Magicians In Houston

By Imelda Reid


There are a wide variety of magic acts available. Some will be extravagant stage productions while others may do a simpler close up act. Whatever your personal preference it is worth looking for magicians in Houston TX to bring a bit of extra magic to your event.

Before booking a magic act you need to consider the type of event you are doing. The appropriate act for a birthday party is going to be very different from an act that is better suited to a corporate event. While the tricks may be similar the approach and style will be different.

Close up acts are often best for events like weddings when you want to entertain people at the table just before the speeches and cutting the cake. In this instance you need someone with the right personality. Some people may find someone coming to their table awkward and you need someone who can read reactions.

A smart magician who does close up tricks makes people feel relaxed. They ought to talk to the people rather than going straight into a routine. The best ones will be flexible and able to adapt to their audience rather than only doing their routine in one way. Often this will come with experience.

Close up tricks are often best suited to smaller venues. They can often be a great source of entertainment at weddings. People will often be sat down for long periods of time before the dancing or speeches and need something to occupy their attention before the main event.

With close up acts personality is important. You need someone who is confident without being over the top. They should put people at their ease but also be aware that some people may not necessarily want to see their routine. Often this awareness will come with experience. It is best to view acts in person. While a video can give you an idea of the tone of an act you should remember they are likely to be edited in order to make the performer look good and therefore are unlikely to show any negative reactions from an audience.

You need to discuss how much this will cost. Costs can include travel, insurance and any effects. You also need to talk to the venue about any requests the act has in order to do their work. Some acts will have more technical requirements than others. A close up act is unlikely to need much more than storage space for their props while a bigger stage is likely to require a lot more. This is something you should research before contacting them.

You can find a number of acts in the Houston TX area by looking online. As well as looking up the acts themselves you should also look for feedback from clients who have used their services in the past and whether or not they would recommend that particular act for your event. With the right approach you will be able to add a bit more magic to your event!
