HERE’S A PERFORMING TIP  that was passed onto me by Pat Page, that most generous of ideas men. I, like Pat, do quite a few weddings, dinners and the like where we perform close-up magic at the guest’s tables.

But what pays off handsomely is to offer at the end of the dinner to present a small cabaret spot in the corner of the room by which time people are well relaxed. Nothing elaborate but perhaps two or three tricks presented to the collective audience.

By now they have met you performing magic at their table so you don’t really have to establish yourself again but the reaction to this added bonus is always good. The guests enjoy the extra  unexpected magic and the hosts are delighted with what they consider is something extra that you have added to the booking.

I’ve received excellent letters following this idea from more than satisfied clients and it has paid  good dividends in recommendations and new bookings.
