Why Magic?
Magic is different from most other forms of entertainment and truly stands out at an event:
Memorable
Everyone has vivid memories of their first experience with magic. In addition to the performance itself, the memory lingers as the audience tries to figure out how things happen and the participants wonder what would have happened if they made different choices.
Interactive
The show actively involves members of the audience which makes every performance truly unique. Everyone has a chance to be part of the experience; it’s the ultimate reality show.
Viral
When something happens that you want to tell others about it. A magic performance provides a perfect vehicle for sharing. Everyone leaves the event with a story which begins, “You’ll never believe what I saw at...” Now everyone has a camera in their pocket and many can’t wait to share their amazing experiences with the world.
