Magic is a captivating art form that has fascinated audiences for centuries. From the mystique of pulling off elaborate illusions to the charm of performing sleight-of-hand tricks right under your nose, magicians bring wonder and delight to people of all ages. But did you know that not all magicians are the same? Depending on the style and nature of their performances, magicians can specialise in a variety of magic forms. Let’s dive into the different types of magicians and how they weave their magic, creating unforgettable experiences for audiences.
Close-Up Magicians!
Close-up magic, also known as table magic or strolling magic, is all about intimate, up-close performances. These magicians interact directly with guests, using small objects like cards, coins, and everyday items to create incredible illusions that happen right in front of their eyes. Close-up magic is perfect for private parties, weddings, and corporate events, where the magician mingles with the crowd, breaking the ice and adding a personal touch to the entertainment.
Slightly Unusual’s Expertise: Our close-up magicians are experts in sleight of hand, blending comedy and audience engagement to create an experience that feels personal and magical. Whether it’s at a wedding reception or a corporate event, our magicians guarantee to astonish and delight your guests.
Illusionists!
Illusionists take magic to the next level with large-scale performances that include disappearing acts, levitation, and other grand spectacles. Unlike close-up magic, illusion shows are designed for bigger audiences and often involve elaborate props and stage setups. These shows are perfect for corporate events, festivals, or private parties looking for that “wow” factor.
Why Book Slightly Unusual’s Illusion Shows? Our award-winning illusion shows combine custom-designed illusions with comedy and audience participation, making each show unique and engaging. Imagine a CEO vanishing from one spot and reappearing on stage or a full-scale levitation act that leaves the entire audience spellbound. Perfect for those seeking something truly extraordinary.
Mentalists!
Mentalists focus on mind-reading and psychological illusions, creating an experience that feels almost supernatural. By using suggestion, psychology, and intuitive skill, mentalists can appear to read thoughts, predict actions, or influence decisions. This type of magic is particularly effective in creating a sophisticated and mysterious atmosphere, making it a popular choice for corporate events, weddings, and private gatherings where the aim is to captivate and engage an audience on a deeper level.
Engage with Slightly Unusual’s Mentalists: Our mentalists are not only experts in reading minds but also in creating a mesmerising experience that leaves guests questioning reality. Perfect for corporate banquets, weddings, and any event where the goal is to astonish and amaze with something a little different.
Escapologists!
Escapologists are known for their daring stunts and incredible feats of physical prowess. From escaping chains and locked boxes to performing underwater escapes, these magicians are all about thrill and suspense. They often take inspiration from the great Harry Houdini, whose death-defying stunts captivated audiences around the world.
Want a Thrill? While escapology might not be a fit for every event, Slightly Unusual can incorporate thrilling elements into larger shows, giving guests a taste of high-stakes magic and excitement.
Street Magicians!
Street magic is all about spontaneous, impromptu performances that happen in public spaces. Street magicians often rely on their charisma and quick hands to draw in crowds, using familiar objects like playing cards, coins, and even phones to create astonishing illusions. This raw, in-the-moment style of magic can be a hit at festivals, outdoor corporate events, or large public gatherings.
Bring Magic to Life with Slightly Unusual’s Street Performers: Our magicians are trained to bring this sense of spontaneity and wonder to your events. Even at weddings or corporate events, our performers can adapt the street magic style to surprise and entertain guests, creating moments of joy and connection.
Cabaret Magicians!
Cabaret magic is a one-person stage show, perfect for more intimate events where guests want to be entertained without the scale of a grand illusion show. It combines sleight of hand, mentalism, and smaller illusions, all tied together with humour and audience interaction. Cabaret magic works wonderfully for after-dinner entertainment or for those looking to bring some light-hearted fun to their events.
Slightly Unusual’s Cabaret Shows: We offer high-energy cabaret shows that combine humour, interaction, and mind-blowing magic. These shows are great for weddings, corporate dinners, and private parties where guests want to be entertained in a setting that’s both intimate and lively.
