July 2011
Triumph Motorcycles
This past month I travelled down to Berkshire to perform for Triumph Motorcycles at one of their new showroom openings. It was a great evening and great to be asked back, as I have performed for Triumph before! I’ve had some great feedback, and the event was being filmed by Fatt Film so hopefully I’ll have some live footage to add to my site. It was nice to perform outside in the sunshine, entertaining the guests whilst a hog roast was available.
It’s nice to say that ‘every day is different’ with my job, and events like this really add variety to my career. It proves that close up magic is the perfect form of entertainment and really is suitable for any event. It’s always wise to get in touch sooner rather than later to save disappointment. Already this year I’ve performed at weddings, birthday parties, awards ceremonies, radio stations, gala dinners, product launches, and now show room openings!
Summer Weddings!
Weddings are without doubt my favourite type of event. Everyone is there to have a good time and enjoy themselves. There are always tears of joy and rarely tears of sadness. I’m privileged to be part of somebody’s special day and honoured that it happens to me so often. July has been a packed out month for weddings and there have been some great reactions from the audiences. Just look at the photo on the right – shock, excitement, astonishment, surprise all captured in one picture of me entertaining the bride and groom.
Saturdays are obviously the most popular days of the week for weddings however with lots of venues being booked up nearly two years in advance, it’s becoming more popular to get married on a different day of the week. Many hotels offer discounted rates during the week, and during July I provided wedding entertainment on a Wednesday, a Friday and also a Sunday. In the past I’ve also attended weddings on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you’re getting married and can’t book a Saturday at the venue of your dreams it’s always worth asking for the other days, as you’ll be surprised at the savings you’ll make!
Christmas Comes Early
July is not only a busy time for weddings, but also a very busy time for….Christmas Parties! Some may find it strange, but a lot of larger organisations start preparations for their Christmas parties. So my email system in July has been clogged with people already looking to book me for Christmas 2011. It’s encouraging news as with the current economic climate, a lot of entertainers have been suffering and to have such a strong interest is very promising!
If you are involved with the planning of Christmas event, then I’d love to hear from you. If I’m personally unavailable for your function, I can offer alternative entertainment from The Magic Circle aswell as recommend suppliers for room decor, outside catering, live musicians, and so on!
Don’t forget to keep up to date with all the goings on in my little world…..on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn!
