Sparkman’s Magic

Awards Banquet Putting Employees to Sleep?

Let Sparkman WAKE IT UP!

Awards Banquets are a great way to recognize employees for a job well done. Unfortunately the necessary speeches are slow and the long line of award winners can be very boring.

   Question: How do you have the necessary parts of an awards ceremony without putting people to sleep?

   Answer: Hire Sparkman as a Magic Emcee.

Sparkman will introduce the speakers and he can give out the awards. However, he breaks up each slow portion of the program with Jokes and Magic.

This strategy keeps the evening moving. Entertainment interspersed throughout the program retains the importance of the evening, while erasing the boredom and rewarding your employees with entertainment.

One of Sparkman’s Goals:

Helping Your Employees Appreciate Their Job.

When planning this past year’s Christmas party, we wanted entertainment that was different from anything we’d done before. We toyed with using a magician, but were still somewhat leery. I think everyone pictured the guy pulling a bunny out of a hat - oh what fun. But when we viewed your video, we knew we had the right thing. It was really difficult to find a “clean” act, but you fit the bill perfectly. Not only did we enjoy your show, we were able to laugh at ourselves by becoming part of the act. Thanks to you, our Christmas party was a hit.

for Business Events

Variety Entertainment is the best way to make an event FUN and MEMORABLE. Most events seem to be organized in this order.

1. Location
   

2. Food
   

3. Music (if there is money left over)
   

Since your guest eat three times a day and they listen to music many times a day, your expensive event runs the risk of being remembered as much as yesterday’s lunch.

A better approach would be to arrange a memorable entertainer first, so you can find someone that fits your needs, schedule, and budget. Then you can theme the event around the special entertainment.

Sparkman is such a memorable entertainer. His programs have something for everyone. They are very funny. They contain strong magic that utilizes everyday objects - not “magic boxes.” Possibly the biggest part of the fun is that all of his assistants come from the audience.

Sparkman not only provides stand up programs for groups from 40 to 1000, he also has world class sleight-of-hand skills, used in close-up magic. He can entertain with these skills while meeting your guests during the cocktail hour.

I want to thank you for your involvement again this year at the U.S. Racquetball Association’s National Singles in Houston, TX. Your special brand of comedy magic has brought many favorable comments from the players and tournament VIP’s. I appreciate your ability to get the audience involved in your shows. We feel that the players have come to expect you at this annual event, so we hope to retain your services for a long time to come. Keep up the good work!

THE STAGE SHOW:

A COMEDY CHARACTER

Sparkman’s Comedy Magic Stage show is like watching Inspector Clouseau if he were a magician. The Magic Happens, Sparkman just doesn’t seem to know when or how it happens.

This approach makes Sparkman’s show unique, fun and memorable. The program is a wild ride which is not just a series of tricks. Like a play it has an opening, middle and an ending that is surprising, amazing, and ties the whole thing together.

An interesting thing element is that Sparkman’s performs magic with everyday items. Ropes, Coat Hangers, Silk Scarves, Playing Cards, and a GumBall machine all play a part in the show.

Sparkman enlists members of the audience to participate in the mayhem. In fact one audience member will keep a canister from the beginning of the show that contains something you guests won’t believe.

Close-Up Magic

The Most Unbelievable and The Most Personal

When performed by a sleight-of-hand artist, Close-Up magic is the most unbelievable form of magic. When Sparkman performs close-up the spectators examine the props and the magic often happens right in their hands.

Your guests will also fell like they have been entertained by a friend as Sparkman learns their names and jokes with them.

Close-Up is also very flexible. It can be performed strolling among your guests at picnics, hospitality suites, cocktail parties and any other fluid environment. However, it can also be performed as a formal magic show for small to medium sized groups and can be combined with larger programs.

Let your guests feel and experience coins appear and disappear,  signed playing cards fly to wallets and stick to the ceiling,  spots change on dice, and 5 Dollar Bills change to 5 $100 Bills...and that’s just the beginning!

Close-Up Ideas

1. Cocktail Parties - Sparkman mingles among the crowd performing strolling close-up from group to group. In addition to good entertainment, it is also a great conversation starter. Also, if Sparkman is performing an after dinner stage show, this gives him a chance to meet the audience and pick the good personalities to help with the show.
   

2. Hospitality Suites - Close-up is a fantastic way to entertain your customers and prospects in a fluid, come and go environment. Sparkman can stroll among them, or set up a close up table for your guests to stop by and enjoy a longer set.
   

3. Formal Close-Up Shows - This can be a long program for entertaining a group of 10 - 100 people (special seating required for groups over 30 to insure visibility). Also, this is great for party environments. Sparkman performs shows in a separate room several times during the evening. Your guests take turns attending the show.
   

4. Trade Shows - While Trade Show programs can take several forms, Sparkman usually uses magic to draw prospects to your booth. He begins by stopping attendees with a close-up trick. He uses additional close-up effects to get more people involved, and draw a larger crowd. Once he has a crowd, he shifts to a short program using magic to illustrate your products and services. Then he gets the prospects to the salesmen.

I have enjoyed watching your work as a strolling magician and as a platform show magician. Excuse the joke, but you always have something up your sleeve to surprise our patrons with during your performances.

Sparkman’s persona and image on stage is dazzling. You always have the audience’s attention. You excel at incorporating magic and comedy... You are a true entertainer.

Both Sparkman’s strolling performances and magic shows have brought a breath of fresh air to Mud Island River Park and entertained the patrons fantastically.

I wish you all the success with Sparkman’s Magic and look forward to working with you in the near future.
