teambuilding days
Many people are familiar with seeing magic performed on TV, but to see it performed live and inches away from your
face is another experience entirely. Even as a seasoned professional, I still go to magic conventions all over the
country, so I myself, can see it performed live.

After this series finished several years went by without any magic being broadcast on the television, then a few years
ago all of a sudden we got "Penn and Teller", "David Copperfield", "Paul Zenon", "Derren Brown", "Monkey Magic",
"The Masked Magician", "Undercover Magic", "Max Magic", "David Blaine" and of course more recently the new series
on channel 4 "Dirty Tricks".

This has once again catapulted the "Art of Magic" very much back into the public eye.

Of all the various types of entertainers out there people are realising that the "Art of Magic" is not only highly
fahionable at the moment, but brings the highest level of direct interest, providing a unique and very memorable
entertainment experience for their guests.

On behalf of Carreker Ltd, I would just like to thank you for
the fantastic performance at our teambuilding event the
other evening. Everyone I spoke to afterwards were
extremely impressed by your performance and loved all
your tricks - all of which we had not seen before. We
thoroughly enjoyed ourselves that evening and wouldn't
hesitate in booking you for future events.

"I thought the best thing about him was that he was really
funny as well as doing excellent magic. It was so much
better to have someone 'performing' who kept us laughing
along with him, rather than just literally sitting there
watching someone do tricks. He could almost be a comedian
as well!!"

"Enjoyed his show greatly. Tried to catch him out on several
occasions, and failed each time! Magic!"

"Very funny and some of the best magic I have seen."
"Nice jacket and very slick with his hands!"

"Nice man, great show, horrible jacket ;-)"

"I thought Dave was excellent. He was funny as well as
being good at his magic. I gave him a hard time (being
sober due to driving home), and he still managed to make
me laugh. I would recommend him to anyone."

"I thought Dave was really good. He even managed to keep
Vikki quiet for five minutes. Now that is
magic........................"

"He was fantastic. I was totally amazed, oh and he was a
good laugh too!"

"Watch out David Blaine...Dave Vegas is about!"






My Close Up Performances broadly fall into 3 main
categories.

Wedding Receptions & Private Parties
No other form of entertainment creates such a direct
level of interest as magic. You can be absolutely sure
this will be a major talking point amongst your guests
both on the day and for months, sometimes years
afterwards. Not many people get the chance to see
close up magic right in front of their eyes.

Quite often wedding reception venue staff will heard
you and your guests out of the room you have hired
immediately after the speeches and ask you to wait in
the bar area whilst the room is reset for the evening
do. This nearly always creates a flat spot, not unlike
being thrown out of a pub at closing time. This time
period can often be 2-3 hours and includes furniture
rearrangement vacume cleaning and to give the DJ or
band time to set up. Once again this results in your
guests being dispersed in a large central bar area
frequented by other members of the general public
not necessasarily associated with your immediate
group.

Corporate Functions & Trade Shows
This covers a multitude of events from Banquets,
Charity Fund Raising Events, Product Launches and
Trade shows.

For Banquets and Balls it is perceived by guests as a
nice touch and shows them that the organiser has put
a little extra thought into planning the event.

At Charity Fund Raisers Magicians can encourage
guests to donate generously or failing that there is
always the “Three Card Monte” scam

Product Launches tend to be, in my experience,
frequently held in car dealerships. It is a way of
thanking customers for their continued support. In
other words customer retention.


Restaurant Magic
The Restaurant Magician is the perfect way to impress
guests who book special days such as Birthday groups
or Office parties. I am also regularly booked for both
Lunches and Evening Meals on Public Holidays such as
Xmas Day, Xmas Eve, New Years Eve, Easter,
Valentines Day, Mothers Day, and Fathers Day.
