Magician in Southport for staff parties

How a magician in Southport fits into your work do

Before the night, there are just two things to sort: how many people are coming and what the running order looks like. Lewis will use those to plan how long he needs and where to spend his time. A party of thirty and a ballroom of three hundred are very different jobs, and he'll tell you honestly what's realistic.

On arrival, he mingles. People turn up in their teams and hover near the bar, and that first half hour can feel a bit stiff. A couple of minutes of magic with each group breaks it up. Before long, people from different departments are comparing notes on how he did it.

Once dinner starts, he moves to the tables and visits each one between courses. He keeps it short so people can still talk, and he times things round the kitchen so the food isn't held up. If there's a long gap before the food, he'll fill it with more roaming magic around the bar.

Speeches, awards and the boss's thank yous come first. He'll step back during them and pick up afterwards. If anyone would rather not be involved in a trick, he'll simply choose someone else without fuss.

It's not just Christmas, either. Booking a magician in Southport works the same way all year. Summer parties, leaving dos, client evenings and team meals all follow the same pattern. The corporate entertainment page has more about corporate bookings, including tricks built around your brand.

Wedding receptions across Sefton

The same skills work beautifully at a wedding. A wedding magician in Southport is most useful during the drinks reception, while you're off having photos taken and your guests are waiting with a glass of something. He works the room in small groups, so both families get to know each other.

At the wedding breakfast, he visits the tables between courses. He'll agree timings with your venue so he's never in the way of the food, and he stops completely for the speeches. Tables furthest from the top table get just as much attention as the ones nearest.

In the evening, he can help the late arrivals settle in. Evening guests often know only a few people, and a bit of magic as they arrive gives them an easy way into the party.

Small details make a difference. Give him the name of your coordinator and he'll agree the timings with them, so you aren't relaying messages in the busy final week. Let him know about anyone likely to be on their own, like an old school friend or a new partner, and he'll make a point of finding them. Bad weather? He'll simply follow the drinks inside.

Smaller weddings suit close-up magic particularly well. With forty guests at a register office lunch, a wedding magician can give every table proper time, so it feels like part of the conversation rather than a turn.

• Fits round the agenda Dinner, speeches and awards always take priority, and a magician in Southport plans round them.
• Brand tricks on request For a launch or client night, a trick can be built around your product or logo.

Good to know

How early should we book a magician in Southport for Christmas?

As early as you can. December weekends go fast, so if the date is already fixed, check with Lewis before you sign the venue contract. Thursday and Friday nights in December are usually the first to go.

Our team is quite reserved. Will it still work?

Yes, often better than with a lively crowd. Because it's close up and in small groups, nobody has to perform or stand in front of everyone. It just gives them something to talk about. Booking a magician in Southport for a shy team is a good way to get them chatting without forcing it.

Can he build a trick around our company?

He can. A trick featuring your logo or product works well at a client night or launch. Give him notice so there's time to plan it. It's a nice touch when your clients are in the room, because they'll remember the brand as well as the trick.

Can we have a magician in Southport at our wedding too?

Yes. The drinks reception and the wedding breakfast are popular slots, and he can stay on for the evening guests. He works round your photographer and the speeches, so the day runs to your plan.

Can he work at a standing event with no dinner?

Definitely. Roaming magic is made for drinks receptions and networking events, where people move about and gather in small groups. He'll keep going round the room until the music gets too loud for conversation.

Is it suitable for a family birthday at home?

It is. He needs no space or set up, so a living room or garden works fine. Let him know the numbers and when the food is going out. Garden parties are fine too, and if it rains he'll just follow everyone inside.
