San Luis Obispo Magician Review

Interested in hiring a magician for a party in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara or beyond?

Be sure to do your homework to ensure they will treat your guests with professionalism, put your event before the "magic"and have the experience required to make your event memorable and fun! Letting a magician loose at your party is about personality you can count on.

Tips to ensuring you hire the right magician or entertainer for your party:


• Be sure they specialize in what you are looking for. You do not want a children's magician accepting a job much better suited sleight of hand artist or visa versa. Hire the appropriate person for the job or everyone looses out.


• Beware of entertainers that jump on any event without any care or concern about your specific needs or event details. You know right away you have an amateur or unprofessional magician on the phone if they are whiling to take your money but are not interested in learning more about your event.


• Be sure they are a true professional with a business license, insurance and appropriate accreditation. 


• Check out their website and credentials to ensure they have the experience they are claiming to have. Do they have testimonials, promotional materials, interviews, awards or press to view?


• Do they have established, public prices and types of shows on their site or do they make it up depending on your feedback? Beware of services lacking an established, industry price structure or competitive public price. (Of course, prices may vary depending on what you require.)


• Have your guests or friends heard of this entertainer and can they vouch for the character or quality of service? Is this entertainer an authority in their field? You certainly get what you pay for when it comes to entertainment.

Magic Tricks Revealed Scam School

Everyone should know a good magic trick or two, right? Well, for most, there's no way they are going to "master" years of sleight of hand magic. The typical person is looking for a magic trick or "bar bet" that looks awesome but does not take much skill or time to set up. These two impromptu magic effects shared on an episode of Scam School are the ticket and are taken right from my best selling "dating magic" book Tricks to Pick Up Chicks available at Amazon.

The first effect explained is using an everyday toothpick! Show how two solid objects pass through each other! Even knowing the secret, it looks cool! The second magic trick revealed is a great betting trick using a playing card or business card. Cut a hole in a card and literally stretch the card large enough to fit a person through it! Enjoy messing with people's head and getting lots of free drinks!
