Tips For Choosing Magicians In Houston

By Imelda Reid


Magic is something that can entertain people of all ages. Whether it is a clever sleight of hand or a dazzling special effects filled extravaganza there is an act appropriate for your event. There are numerous options when choosing magicians in Houston TX and it helps to know what you are getting.

Different people will have different ideas on magicians. Some people associate magic with big and bold effects. Other people may associate this with street performers who dazzle people with tricks in front of them rather than having someone perform their tricks on a stage.

You may also be restricted in terms of budget. While a large scale effects show may look impressive it is pointless if that means you cannot afford catering or have to cut back in other ways. This is all part of managing an event and is something that needs to be carefully considered.

Another potential factor that may affect your decision is the venue. Larger venues will allow you to put on bigger shows and allow for more elaborate tricks and stage set ups. If the space is available and you think your audience will sit through a show then this is your best option.

With corporate events it will depend on the size of the venue. For larger venues a stage act will be ideal. However if you have a smaller venue close up acts are more appropriate. An agency should be able to give you a number of potential acts to compare the different options available to you.

Ideally you should meet acts in person rather than basing your choices on videos. While videos can look impressive it helps to talk to them directly. Find out how long they have been performing and the kind of shows they have done. This is also a good opportunity to tell them about your event and what you want from them. Remember to consider the amount of guests you will have and how many acts you may need to book.

By watching their performances you can get a more honest idea of how an audience responds to them. Once you have seen them and approve you can then contact them directly about their availability and what they will require for their act. Before finalising the booking remember to ask how long they will be at the event and what is included in the charge. For example travel costs and insurance ought to be included in the quoted price.

As with any booking it is best to do it as soon as possible. Remember to research carefully and avoid any double booking as it may be expensive to cancel acts at the last minute. It is also best to look for feedback and testimonials from people who have booked magic acts in the past in order to find the ideal act for your particular needs. For more information use your regular search engine to look for individuals and agencies near you as well as feedback from previous clients.
