When someone calls about a magic show,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the most common first question is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "How much do you charge?" But the answer to that question is almost meaningless. The only thing you can do with that answer is determine if the price is within your budget, comparing it to other meaningless answers from other entertainers.
Price is an important consideration,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], of course, but if you make a decision based on price alone you may end up very disappointed. It is like walking into a store and asking how much shoes cost. There are all types of shoes. And they all have different prices and serve different purposes.
Here are 6 points to help you find the right entertainer.
1) Plan ahead. If at all possible, call 4 to 6 weeks prior to your party. Planning ahead will help you get the entertainer you want. If a magician is unavailable, he should be able to recommend some other magicians. If not, that means he does not have a professional network and you are probably lucky he is unavailable!
2) Determine Your Budget. - Do not be afraid to let the entertainer know your budget. Some have set fees but others may be able to craft a show that will fit into your budget. Also, the price may include party favors or other things which will save you money elsewhere.
3) Ask about association membership - The best magicians in Austin belong to the International Brotherhood of Magicians and/or the Society of American Magicians. There are similar professional organizations for other variety entertainers. These organizations are dedicated to the continual education of their members. Additionally, this gives them a network to call upon if they get sick at the last minute and can not make your party.
4) Ask for references - Check both professional and customer references. By the same token, be willing to give an honest evaluation of the entertainer if someone asks you.
5) Ask what they need - Some magicians are completely self contained; others may require something like access to electricity, or a private place to set up. You do not want the magician to show up and find out he is expecting something you can not provide.
6) Listen - If the magician is not interested enough in you and your child to ask some basic questions like the age, gender,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and name of the child, alarms should sound.
Magic is a wonderful theme for a birthday party. Hiring the right magician will make it a great party!
