Booking a magician for your event can be an exciting endeavor, but it's essential to navigate the process wisely. Here are the dos and don'ts to keep in mind...

Do Research 

Spend time researching different magicians, their specialties, and their reputations. Look for reviews, testimonials, and videos of their performances to ensure they align with your event's needs and audience.

Do Communicate 

Clearly communicate your expectations, event details, and any specific requirements to the magician. This includes the date, time, venue, audience demographics, and desired performance duration.

Do Ask Questions

Don't hesitate to ask the magician questions about their experience, style, and the types of tricks they perform. This will help you gauge their professionalism and suitability for your event.

Do Discuss Logistics

Coordinate logistics such as performance space, setup time, sound and lighting requirements, and any special accommodations needed for the magician's performance.

Do Review Contracts Carefully

Before finalising the booking, review the contract thoroughly to ensure all terms and conditions are clear and agreeable. Pay attention to details such as payment terms, cancellation policies, and any additional fees or expenses.

Don't Wait Until the Last Minute 

Avoid waiting until the last minute to book a magician, especially if you have a specific performer in mind or if your event date is approaching quickly. Popular magicians may get booked well in advance.

Don't Forget to Check References

Always check references or ask for referrals from previous clients to ensure the magician has a track record of delivering quality performances and professional service.

Don't Overlook Budget

While it's important to prioritize quality and professionalism, be mindful of your budget constraints when selecting a magician. Discuss pricing upfront and ensure it aligns with your budget expectations.

Don't Assume Availability

Even if a magician has performed at similar events in the past, don't assume they will be available for your event without confirming their availability well in advance.

Don’t Micromanage 

Once you've booked a magician, trust in their expertise and allow them creative freedom to deliver an engaging performance. Avoid micromanaging every aspect of their act, as this can hinder their ability to perform at their best.

By following these dos and don'ts, you can navigate the process of booking a magician with confidence, ensuring a successful and memorable event for you and your guests.
