Nightclub Entertainment : Magician or Hypnotist, what works & doesn’t.

Posted on 8 January, 2011 by James Patrick

Below is a few pointers of ideas that have worked for Magique in using Magicians at Nightclub events in 2010:

Working the line:

Many Nightclub venues had a line that can see patrons waiting 10-15min+ and whilst it helps to make the venue look busy and worthwhile, it can also irritate the patrons waiting – most can empathize with this.

One of the best ways to shift peoples focus from the wait is to entertain them, and a close up magician is among one of the best forms of workable entertainment with little to no set up needed.

The last thing you want to happen is to have your clientele leave because the line was too long, and subsequently tell their friends that the wait was too long. Although some believe the “crowds bring crowds” theory is what is being used here, you can stagnate a crowd yet keep them amused & entertained and achieve a better overall result

Guests forget they are lining up and passers by noticed that people are happily waiting for what’s inside. The overall experience is better and leaves less bad reviews spread about your club event.

Stage illusions/hypnosis at a Nightclub event.

Firstly, in my opinion Hypnosis shows although amazing to watch, at a nightclub dance event don’t work based on the environment. A large portion of the clientele attend these events to dance & drink and Hypnosis is suitable more for an attentive audience.

Magic however if delivered properly can work. During 2010 at Magique we tested several different styles of stage illusions at venues such as , Space Nightclub, Martin Place Bar, Ivy, Bar 333, Ravesis Bondi and more.

In a nutshell, Stage Magic works perfectly is the shows are:

Customized to the genre of music played in the venue. This helps to relate to the clientele and makes the show seamless.
The Magician is experienced with stage illusion and is capable of performing effects that are visual enough for intoxicated people to follow the routine.
Do Not stop the Music. People are dancing and having a great time, a pre consultation between the DJ and Magician can ensure the natural flow of the music into performance ( with MC intro ) can make it all effective.
Ensure the stage is lit up enough, and guests can see, guests get agitated if they cannot see what’s happening.

Close Up magic inside the venue.

This generally seems to only work in the quieter chill out areas, or smoking balconies if applicable. For a Magician to perform close up magic it will hinder their success if the music is cranking and competing with their voice.

Why Magic?

It’s different, fun, and no matter how old or young you are… it fascinates all.
