Choosing 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 an act it helps to consider what your event is and the audience. The kind of act that will work well for kids at a birthday party will not be appropriate for a corporate event. Indeed some performers can diversify, tailoring their act to suit a wide range of audiences.

There is also the issue of the venue. If you have a very large venue with hundreds of people in attendance then it is best to go with a big stage act. Spectacular effects and showmanship will often make the event memorable and often this type of stagecraft is what people associate with magic.

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.

The challenge with this kind of act is that some people will not want to be involved or interact. A charismatic performer will either be smart enough to read their potential audience and move on if they are not wanted or draw the more cynical in with a simpler trick. There is not necessarily a right or wrong act. It is more a matter of gauging the likely audience and who is appropriate.

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.

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!
