Showcase and Festival Styles

Showcase:  In international circles, this is known as the salon approach. Mike entertains at a designated area and spectators are invited to enter and get involved in this lively space.

     In short, this is a "gathering" that acts like a "people magnet," and the emphasis is on people having a good time, laughing and applauding. This creates a "human hot spot" of up to fifty clustering party goers at a time. 

     Word-of-mouth excitement as spectators circulate among other participants relating what they have seen and experienced. There are two different 25-minute performances every hour. After each set there is a short break for while a new crowd is drawn.

Festival:  Festival style is a variation of "Showcase" that covers a lot of ground.  The magician Sets up in various locations with a small table and presents a fifteen to twenty minute magic show for 10-50 people at a time.  (If you've ever watched a good street performer you'll get the basic idea.)

     Show times can either be fixed or Mike can wander through the event setting up the show in a matter of minutes and drawing a crowd to entertain.  Great for festivals/carnivals and other outdoor events.

Both approaches may be used outside or indoors.
