Magic Difficulty Level

Easy isnt always meant for kids. Method never plays a role in how entertaining your guests are no matter what age. They key, how much fun are you having?

Corporate

Magic is an illusion, no matter what sort of tricks the magicians is doing, are your guests mind being blown away? Your guests arent magicians and have no clue what the magician is hiding behind his back, nor care to know. Your guests are there to be amazed!

Kids

The journey is whats most important to children. Visual, visual, visual, and funny! Kids are simple because life itself is so complex. we all strive to be kids again.

Length of Magic Show

catering to your event depends on what you have planned through out the day. so length matters.

Corporate

cocktail hour, live band, several acts, awards, etc all play a role in the evenings affairs. Make sure you don’t put too much in one night. remember, always leave them wanting more!

Kids

Each age group has a specific natural attention span, but that depends on maturity. 30 minutes for ages younger than 6. Ages 6-10 45 minutes. 10 and up you can have an hour and be worry free. Mixed audiences however play a challenge so its always safe to play it safe! Stick to the middle.

The Show Around the Magic Show

Have you ever noticed that a magic show isn’t just magic? There’s so much more to putting on a good show than the illusions within it, like making you laugh while we do it!

Corporate

Corporate magic shows allow for a much more adult sense of story and humor. Not only can a corporate magic show withstand a storyline as discussed above, but the magician can also play with the audience’s attempt to figure out the trick and make more adult jokes that would, at best, fly over the heads of kids. Magicians are also often comedians.

Kids

Kids magic shows are so much sillier! The show involves less of a story and more of a funny character. It’s almost like clown work, but without the makeup and outfit. The magician can still make your kids laugh, but it’s over the top kids humor, like a character who is shocked by how many handkerchiefs come out of their mouth.

The Size of the Magic Show

Don’t get me wrong, at all ages there can be magic shows of all sizes.You can do kids magic for just the family, or a corporate show for an audience of hundreds. But when it comes to what each show typically looks like and how the average event goes, the below seems to hold pretty true.

Corporate

Corporate magic shows tend to be smaller, for just one or two company teams. Or even less than that, they’re big events but with performers doing walk around magic for groups of two to five or so. They incorporate personal interaction and close up magic work.

Kids

A kid’s birthday party is often a huge affair, with at least all of the kids from their class, and sometimes more. That’s a lot of people with a very short attention span! In order to keep every child’s attention for the entire show, it has to involve showier, grander illusions. Those require some space, but there isn't a kid (or parent!) who won’t be mesmerized by them.

I hope these distinctions are helpful as you look for great performers for your party! While most magicians have packages that can accommodate either children or adults. it’s always important to make sure you’re getting the right show for your event. But, so long as you do, I can guarantee that everyone will have a… magical time.
