Performing Magic Shows For Children In Brisbane
There are a handful of full time professional childrens birthday party magicians in Brisbane and the Gold Coast
. These Brisbane magicians have become successful by using the rules and techniques below to make their magic show business flourish.In order to be a successful birthday party Magician in Brisbane, or anywhere, you have to learn a few rules and techniques.
1.Learn to perform at the mental age of the children that are at the kids birthday party. If there is a majority of children the same age then perform for that group. If you have a wide range of children at different ages you must adapt your show to entertain them all. A lot of magicians either perform way above or way below the age group they have in their audience. Only experience can completely prepare you to entertain, control and speak to different aged children to perform a successful birthday magic show.
2. Children have a sixth sense at feeling if you enjoy being with them or not. If you do not enjoy being with children it will certainly shine through. It takes a certain type of person to perform magic shows at kids parties. Just make sure that you are one of those people or your magic show is doomed to fail from the start.
3. Make sure your magic show props represent the modern and fresh magic show that you are portraying. If a prop is broken or old just throw it out. The parents want to see what their money is being invested in.
4. Keep all the children entertained and active. Children will start misbehaving if they get bored. Film your show and try to get in as many interactive games, call outs as you can in a minute. The children should be calling out magic words, laughing, clapping, making noises that you tell them to make throughout the birthday magic show.
5. Make jokes for the parents too. Some magicians in Brisbane do not agree with this. I call them The Simpsons style jokes. Where the children have no idea as to what you are referring to but the parents see your show on a different level. You may encounter some parents that want nothing but 100% clean cut kids magic show. However, there is certainly a market for parents that dont want to hear the same old kids jokes weekend after weekend and actually enjoy being entertained themselves. Its always better to be loved by 85-90% than have 100% feeling indifferent about your show.
6. Card tricks do not work well with younger children. 90% Children can only count up to 20 when they are about 6 years old. And almost all cannot tell what value a jack, queen or king are. They also find the suits of the cards confusing until about 7 or eight years of age.
3. Do not use props like cards, cigarettes, knives or any props to do with mentalism, the occult, witchcraft, tarot cards
4. Always ask yourself what are the parents thinking. They are your potential bookings for the year. Listen to any negative feedback as potential for making your show better. Always feel that your show is constantly changing, mostly for the better. You will not get it correct straight away. Only through trying out techniques that may fail can we really create the best birthday party magic show.
Being a children's magician can be a fun and rewarding career, but it is not just about performing magic shows at Brisbane parties. It takes a lot of practice and preparation to make a successful birthday party magician business.
