Christopher Tracy knows all of the "magical secrets" to a successful corporate event.

1. Company Banquets/Holiday Parties
2. Customer Appreciation Events

3. Trade Shows

Magic is a great solution for all three of these occasions.

1. For company banquets and parties: An hour of cocktail magic with a 20-30min. stand up show works very well because it allows the magician to essentially "work the crowd" and warm up the audience for the "show" later. Every time the band takes a break there is usually a speaker, a raffle, an award presentation, etc... Keep this in mind... They will ALWAYS remember the magic presentation.

2. Customer appreciation events are a fantastic idea in theory but here is what happens in reality: The invited guest(s) show up, talk to the person that invited them, grab some free food and sit at a table and watch the band.

A better scenario is: The invited guest(s) show up, talk to the person who invited them. That person has a job as "host" so he/she introduces them to the magician so they can greet the next guest. The magician proceeds to show them a miracle. This usually gathers a small crowd of people who are in a similar situation. After a few minutes, the magician closes with his finale' and walks away- leaving these strangers something to talk about. Magic is the perfect icebreaker for these types of situations.

3. Trade shows are meant to attract customers to a product... Or in the very least provide an on-going familiarity with a product or company name/logo. These days with all the logos flashing at one's brain day and night on TV and on the Internet... It's a wonder that anyone remembers anything! Even worse, the free stuff that people get at a trade show goes either in a drawer or in the trash unless it can be used again.

Solution: The word unforgettable is synonymous with the word magic. Imagine a give-away that features your logo and fits in a wallet- getting repeated exposure for years to come as they show their trick to everyone they know!


In short: Typically, one month after your event they will not remember the name of the band, the names of half the people they met, even the name of the hotel that hosted the event. They will remember only 2 things. The name of YOUR COMPANY and "that guy" who made the quarter float all over the room and then did that really funny thing with "what's-his-face" on stage.
