Corporate Event Magician

Every now and then you go to an event you have been booked for and everything is perfect

As a Corporate Event Magician and MC this happens less than you may think.I recently was asked to MC and do magic at a 50th Birthday Celebration for a branch of a household name store in Sheffield.

The Venue was the Ballroom in the Sheffield City Hall that in itself is quite spectacular.The event organiser from the company had been a dream to deal with and we had agreed on a format for the evening that ensured guests had a fantastic time.

Ballroom Sheffield City Hall

As a corporate event magician and MC I welcomed guests as they arrived with close up magic in reception. After they were seated I was announced to the stage as compare for the evening. I was able to set the tone for the evening as being a fun celebratory occasion.A director gave a short speech and established the longest serving employee in the room who was then invited to the stage to toast the company.(this was a really nice touch)

As the meal started the DJ played low background music so the Table Magicians (myself and one other) could be heard properly whilst performing.This is so important when performing as a Corporate Event magician. If the guests cannot hear you it really does lessen the enjoyment

After the meal I returned as MC and thanked all involved in making it such a perfect event to that point.We then played an Interactive game to give away some great prizes.This was a bit of fun in the form of a gameshow where 25 people were whittled down to ten and then those ten people had the chance to win some prizes five of which were good prizes and five not so good!!!!!!

Then it was time to party with a great DJ called Matt to warm up the crowd and then a spectacular tribute show called Divas Live.The guests danced to the early hours.
