I know many magicians get to work at weddings.
It's a profitable job for close up workers or featured acts. But what about taking the next step and doing the Master of Ceremony role as well! The wedding MC with the Touch of Magic? Sounds good to me. Get a close up job and offer to MC as well. Get booked to do a show and offer to MC as well. Or just a unique professional MC. Many of you would have read Peter Millers last book on being a Corporate MC. This new one is just out and I think many of you would have the skills needed to turn this into a great extra "show" to sell. Details Click here I'd like to hear from people who do this already? |

Yes it works very well.
But I have found that it is good to have a reason or purpose at the wedding with magic once they understand why your at the event- the sale becomes easier. The idea of MC ing and doing iether roving or stage or combining the MC job with magic makes sence to the customer- it reduces cost by having a two in one. Like my photography Roving magic show- a real winner with weddings-- granted there is a tonn of more work after the show---Red Eye Removal aaaaaaah but I love it so it's not skin off my bones. (or is that teeth?) I have done a little MC work at weddings while combining in with stand up magic- personally from my own personal feeling-- MY skills lie in the close up magic, photography areana with a stage show by itself. BUT it does work, I just don't enjoy MC ing. The great sales point is They are going to get an MC before they get a magician so if you can be a magician as well in iether stage or roving and you can give your magic show purpose- than this is good. The only problem you face now is Do you market your self as an MC who performs magic or a magician who can do MC work-- I choose the later- but as I think about it the MC who does magic makes more sense.

It's a role that has to be done at weddings, and is usualy done by an amateur and sometimes by pros like Peter ( who wrote the book) . So I'm suggesting magicians could easily add it to their offerings. With their extra skills they would blow the competion out of the water. (Just to be clear, it's not something I'm interested in doing myself. I'm just suggesting it as an interesting option. But if you did it you would have to do it properly and this new resource seems to provide exactly what one would need.) timothy |

Oops -I mean you must give your magic purpose
why have a roving entertainer and why have a stage show Generally speaking multi skilling is favoured by most employers so the wedding Bride & Groom are in essence our employer-they want more bang for their buck Darth Dave |
