Had a great time this afternoon providing magical entertainment in Lexington Kentucky at a company picnic. Its an IT firm that supports Lexmark. They had about 75 people gathered for an afternoon of fun and friendship. I provided a show for the whole group. the kids sat down front. The parents were in the back. As always happens, the parents quickly realized that this show was for everyone, not just the kids. We had a lot of fun with the whole community of friends. Then I spend about 2 hours performing casually for the employees while others played volleyball. It was a perfect day for an afternoon outside.
It’s that time of year when companies gather for picnics.
Picking up several shows this month to provide professional quality magical entertainment for companies. Doing one this week in Harrodsburg for Hitachi. Then another next week for a high tech company called Wipro. The second one sounds like a nice small family affair. Usually, that mean a bunch of friendly people who are there to have a good time. This makes my job a lot easier.
1000 people and no place to hide
I will be providing magical entertainment at a company picnic for a large firm in the near future. One thousand people will be in the audience. Performing outside on a stage with no curtains, no back stage area, no assistances, no time to set up. I must carry on my props at the start and leave the stage clean. Oh, and I will be performing surrounded. Call it an interesting performance challenge.
A word about Palm Reading
I have been a magician for over thirty years. I have been reading palms for almost as long.
In all of the time I have been doing readings, I have learned that this is an experience that is universally interesting to every person who come to my table.
Some people arrive a firm believers. Others are deep skeptics. My approach to the reading works well for everyone.
For the believer, they expect my to be able to tell them about the past, present, and future. I do. They are confirmed in their beliefs. They leave happy.
For the skeptic I say. This s a system that has been around for centuries. Lets see what it can tell us. I tell them about their past, present, and future. They are amazed at the accuracy. and they too go away happy.
The key here is that the reading is not about me and my abilities. It’s about the client. Everyone likes to be the center of attention. Everyone likes to hear about themselves. Especially if the news is good.
What’s not to like.
I have had people stand in line for an hour for the chance to have a 5 minute reading.
You should try it at your next party.
