Choosing The Right 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.

Before booking a magic act you need to consider the type of event you are doing. The appropriate act for a birthday party is going to be very different from an act that is better suited to a corporate event. While the tricks may be similar the approach and style will be different.

Close up acts are often best for events like weddings when you want to entertain people at the table just before the speeches and cutting the cake. In this instance you need someone with the right personality. Some people may find someone coming to their table awkward and you need someone who can read reactions.

However increasingly a more low key style is becoming popular as well. Close up or street magic often involves much simpler tricks. However by doing it in front of people there is often the additional excitement of being right next to the person performing the trick and being able to analyse it a lot closer.

However this is not always appropriate. For example at a wedding you do not need an additional show. In this instance a close up magician is a better option. They do not require as many props and can go around tables providing entertainment while people are waiting for the speeches or for the food to be served.

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.

This is why it is often better to see acts in person rather than on video. Videos can be edited to make an act seem more stylish than it really is or make the audience reaction seem more flattering. If you go to a performance in person without them knowing then you will get a more honest representation of their work. If you like what you see you can then contact them in person.

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!
