It's corporate entertainment that feels current, plays well with mixed crowds and doesn't need anybody to be a magic fan. Close-up, on stage, or built around your brand.
Why tech magic suits a corporate crowd
Corporate audiences are a funny mix. Directors and new starters, clients and colleagues, people who love a party and people who'd rather be home by nine. Magic with phones and screens works across all of them, because everyone's got a phone and everyone thinks they know what it can do.
It's also easy to join in with. Nobody's put on the spot in a way that feels awkward, and the conversation it starts at the table carries on well after The Digital Magician has moved on.
Mixing people up
At plenty of corporate events the same people end up talking to the same people all night. Sales stick with sales, and the clients huddle by the door. Roaming magic quietly breaks that up. A small group gathers to watch, someone from finance ends up next to someone from marketing, and suddenly they've got something to talk about.
For client hospitality especially, that's worth a lot. Your guests go home with a story, and your team gets an easy way to start a conversation with them.
Three ways to use a magician for corporate events
Close-up and roaming. The Digital Magician works the room during drinks or networking, with iPads, phones and often guests' own devices. Ideal for mixing people up. More on close-up tech magic.
Stage or after-dinner. A show on screens for the whole room, great after a dinner or as a break in a conference day.
Bespoke reveals. Magic built around your logo, app, product or message. See product launch magic.
The sort of events it works for
If you've got a room full of people and a reason to bring them together, it'll probably work. A few of the usual suspects:
- Conferences and sales kick-offs
- Client hospitality and networking evenings
- Awards dinners
- Christmas and summer parties
- Team away days and incentive trips
- Exhibitions and trade shows
Planning notes for PAs and event managers
You've got enough on, so we keep it simple. Tell us the date, the venue, rough guest numbers and what kind of event it is, and we'll come back with ideas and a quote. If there's an AV company involved, we'll talk to them directly about screens and power. Close-up magic needs nothing from the venue at all.
Send us your running order if you have one. It helps us suggest where magic will do the most good, whether that's breaking the ice at the start, filling the gap while a room is turned round, or giving the evening a proper centrepiece.
The Digital Magician travels across the UK, and bookings are handled by Fine Entertainments Ltd, a magic and entertainment agency in Corby, Northamptonshire.
