Vancouver Magician's Demo Reels
Finding a quality magician for your event or party in Vancouver can be a challenge, so locating a number of different magician's demo reels is important.There are various types of magicians and the shows they put on cover a diverse array of tricks, themes and styles targeting different audiences. For example, there are comedy magicians, theatrical magicians, card magicians, and children's magicians, just to name a few. Before you hire any magician it is best to see their demo reel as it will give you a very good indication of what they have to offer.
Two of the most important aspects to consider when selecting a magician after seeing their demo reels are:
- What ages their shows cater to
- Price
- Customer satisfaction
The target audience of a magic show is probably going to be your first consideration, particularly if you need a magician for a children's party. Many magicians will have several different shows, and you can request to see their demo reels for their kid-friendly performances.
A number of magicians in the Vancouver area have shows that are suitable to children as young as four years old. For example, the $75 Kids Birthday Magicians is a budget choice for kids parties and as a result of their flat price structure and children-friendly performance, they have built up a very large following.
Other magicians demo reels to consider for a younger audience include Please-Is-The-Magic-Word which is one of the very few magicians who rate their shows as being suitable for children from only 4 years of age. Other child focused shows include The 'Costco' of Vancouver BC Kids Entertainment (slightly more expensive than many competitors), Children's Magicians in Vancouver who charges as low as $45 for a children's magic show, and Vancouver's Smartee Pants the Magic Clown are options to consider for parents wanting to create a fun, interactive experience for children whether it be at a birthday party, at school, or some other event.
If you're searching for a magician to be present at an event such as a fundraiser or community festival, you may need one that is also able to interest adults as well as children. In these circumstances, requesting a magicians demo reel that displays what a particular show has to offer the target audience is important. The best magicians will have different demo reels depending upon the purpose of their performance and who it is targeted at.
For adults requiring a magic show that is not targeted at children, there is Vancouver magician Mark Beltranini (who also performs for children, but has a separate show for adults), and he makes himself available for birthday parties, events and functions. His adult shows are rated at 20 years and up. Clinton W. Gray, also known as simply the Comedy Magician, also has adult targeted magic show for people 20 years and over. His speciality is to perform at corporate function as well as special events. His unique show of magic combined with "music and mockery" makes him a popular choice for those looking for a laugh with their magic show in the Vancouver area. Ray Wong is another choice for a comedy magician for adults in Vancouver.
Finding out what other people and groups have said about a magician is the best way to get an instant feel about whether they will be right for your event. This is made considerably easier these days with social media websites; so checking whether the magician is on Facebook, Youtube or other platform should be a priority. If they are not, you may have to dig a little deeper to find authentic customer testimonials.
Finally, price is always a consideration, but it can come as a surprise at how low priced many magicians are. Many charge on an hourly basis, while some will quote for an entire show. Often the cost can easily be covered by attendees all contributing a few dollars. Alternatively, particularly for children's parties, magicians can be considered a very cost effective form of entertainment and one that will certainly leave the party attendees raving about their unique party experience for days and weeks afterwards.
Searching for magician's demo reels is the first step in finding the right performer for your event - thankfully, there are some excellent options in Vancouver so you are sure to find at least one that provides everything that you're looking for.
