Restaurant/Bar Magician
Close-up magic is the ideal form of entertainment in a restaurant or bar. Mike mixes with your customers doing magic right in front of them or at their table.
It is a great addition to the evening and regular performances can easily turn a quiet night of the week into one of your busiest. People will remember the
magic, talk about it to their friends and come back again and again to join the fun. If your establishment is aimed at the family market then Mike can tailor some of the magic to appeal to youngsters and make balloon animals for them right at their table.
Having a magician is very helpful to the smooth running of your restaurant. Mike can entertain people while they are waiting for a table or keep them happy if their food order is delayed. He works with your staff to provide the best performance at the right time, maximising revenue and boosting repeat business.
During 2010/11 Mike performed twice every week as the resident magician at OLD ORLEANS restaurant in Reading.

Mike can tailor magical routines to include your company name, logo, products and business cards - meaning that people will leave the event with something special and memorable that links directly to your company. He can also move around the venue and encourage people to visit your stand, which is especially useful if it is in a quieter part of the hall.
