John's stand up act is in great demand, either on its own, or as a follow on to
his 'close up' at dinners and functions. His own special blend of magic and
humour is suitable for any size of audience, from a small intimate dining room
to the largest of function suite's or theatre's, and is an ideal way to bring a
formal meal to a close before the music.
As with the close up magic, audience participation and comedy play a big part in his stand up act, with the emphasis on entertainment. No need to worry about guests being embarrassed or made fools of though; the laughs don't come through tricks 'going wrong' and nobody gets abused or ridiculed.
An after dinner cabaret does require a little more thought to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the night; Is there a stage? If not, where will the performing area be? Is there a sound system which can be used? Don't be put off by this; help is only a phone call away, and John's expertise in this area can guide you through any difficulties which may arise.
If a traditional stand up cabaret does not appeal, then why not consider inviting John to be your after dinner speaker. John's unique style helps him to weave magical effects into the evening in a way that sets him apart from traditional speakers. He is also able to tailor his speech to your needs, incorporating particular information or magical effects specific to your requirements.
So if you're looking for a high class, polished performer for your next corporate
event, then get in touch to discuss your requirements further.
At smaller events, where there are only 30 or so guests or less, possibly all seated around a single table, then why not consider John's Parlour Magic Show, performed after the meal when coffee has been served.
Parlour magic incorporates the best of close up magic and the after dinner show and forges them together into an intimate 30-45 minute performance of astonishing magic and mind reading.
This is the ideal show for private house parties, small corporate gatherings or any event where there is the desire to create a shared experience of the evening. It also allows the introduction of mind blowing effects that just cannot be performed in a table hoping situation, and is the preferred option by many of John's clients.
