Gary James Magician is one of Scotland’s top sought after magician entertainers. He is a full-time professional, multi-award winner magician with over 20 years experience.
Based in Edinburgh, Gary entertains all over the UK at corporate events, weddings, private parties & family celebrations.
Close-Up Magic (Table Magic) is the most intimate and personal form of magic – with many of the effects taking place in the spectators’ own hands. The magic is combined with Gary’s gentle humour to put guests at ease, creating a relaxed atmosphere. It provides a talking point, creating a topic of conversation for the early part of the event – and also helps to make your event memorable long after it has concluded. Close-Up Magic is often performed by the table during a meal – at the start, between courses, or towards the end. Magic and humour skilfully blended to entertain your guests, making the event all the more enjoyable and memorable. However, it is not limited to ‘table-side’ situations. Indeed it can be performed virtually anywhere that people are to be entertained. It does not require any special staging or lighting – it just needs an audience. It can be performed as Mix & Mingle Magic – often at the start of an event.
Mingle Magic is an ideal ‘ice breaker’, helping to put people at ease and creating a more relaxed atmosphere. This can be at a Cocktail reception, at pre-dinner drinks, a wedding reception, before a training session indeed anywhere that people are gathered together. Gary mingles with your guests, performing Close-Up Magic creating amazement and providing amusement, helping create a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. Much of the magic takes place in the spectators’ own hands – adding to the impact of the effects being performed. Many clients find that Mix ‘n’ Mingle Magic provides an ideal opener for their event.
Cabaret Magic, or Stand-Up Magic can provide the ideal finale to an event. It can be used on its own or combined with Mingle Magic and/or Close-Up Magic, whichever suits your event needs. Gary’s Cabaret Magic show is a fast paced blend of magic and humour that will ensure that your guests leave with a smile on their faces – and a long-lasting memory of the event. The show’s generally lasts between 15/20/30 minutes (depending on your requirements), and has been a great success with all the clients who have booked this option. As with all of Gary’s performances, Cabaret Magic can be presented as purely entertainment for your guests. It can also be structured so that it plays a part in conveying a particular company message, or it can be used in enhancing the theme of the event.
These different types of magic can all be used independently of each other, or they can be combined to enhance their effect on guests and their impact on the event. Gary will happily advise clients on the best ways to use magic to enhance their event.
