Sleight-of-Hand
or
Strolling Magic
Add
a ‘spark’ to your special magical evening!
Gary keeps the teens busy during the cocktail hour with his cutting edge
SLEIGHT-OF-HAND MAGIC. Performing at bar/bat mitzvahs for the last
twenty years has given him the experience to know what really works for
this sometimes challenging group. Gary knows it takes more than just
knowing how to do a few card tricks. A seasoned entertainer makes each
illusion unique and intriguing to the audience. He immediately wins
over his audience as he makes everyone feel at ease. Listen for the
screams and shrieks of amazement when he reads minds, makes a
volunteer’s signed playing card appear folded in his shoe, or make the
magic happen right in their very own hands.
Time To Enter the Ballroom
The Magic
continues…
Gary follows your guests into the ballroom and continues entertaining
the young adults until the family’s grand entrance. This is also a good
time for Gary to start mingling with some of the adults as everyone is
waiting for the party to officially begin. The adults enjoy Gary’s
magic as much as the teens!
Let’s
Party! Let’s Do More Magic…
Time
to start making your guests laugh and be amazed at their tables. There
are always adults and kids who are not dancing. Gary approaches table
one and does 3-5 minutes of unbelievable magic and then moves on to
table two, etc.. He keeps making the rounds for another two hours.
Everyone looks forward to what Gary is going to bring to their table
next. It’s always something new and even more exciting than the last
mini-miracle. Gary is always told by his clients how much fun their
guests had at their party and how much they enjoyed the magician. Be
prepared to answer, “Where did you find him?”
Comedy Magic and
Illusions
The Dinner Show
The
party has been rocking and rolling for a good hour or so and now the
adults are being served their main entrée. Of course the kids have
finished in 5 minutes and are looking for something to do. Perfect time
for the DJ to say, “Ladies and Gentlemen, all eyes on the dance
floor…IT’S SHOW TIME!”. Gary and his female assistant enter and perform
one of his signature illusions…The ZIG-ZAG (visit
www.garygoodman.com to see performance description and video). Gary
has performed this illusion during half time at several Miami Heat
games with fifteen thousand people surrounding him. Your adult guests
as well as the teenagers won’t believe their eyes. This is something
you would normally see on television or on a Las Vegas stage.
The
show now continues with large well-tested COMEDY STAGE MAGIC using the
mitzvah child as the volunteer. A sibling or best friend can even be
included into the program.
The show concludes
with another Grand Illusion…The “Harry Houdini” TRUNK ESCAPE (visit
www.garygoodman.com to see description and performance video).
Grand Entrance
Magically Introduce Your Child!
Prior to candle-lighting
This
one-of-a-kind illusion is reserved only for the family that is looking
for something totally unique and surprising.
Picture this…everyone has entered the ballroom. The DJ announces
everyone to please take their seats. He then says, “Everyone please
rise.”. He introduces the family. “Everyone put your hands together
for (name of child)!” Everyone looks to the doorway you just
entered through but there is no guest of honor. A major dramatic moment
in the party. The DJ says, “Let the magic begin!” In the corner of the
ballroom, behind self standing black curtains (provided by Gary), Gary
and his assistant wheel a mysterious looking cabinet to the center of
the dance floor. Extremely energetic music is playing in the
background. They spin the cabinet around and everyone can see
solid steel swords piercing the cabinet in every direction. He
then opens the door to allow everyone to look inside. The cabinet
is filled with swords going in
every direction. He then closes the door and starts removing the
swords. He clangs the swords together to prove they are real.
The cabinet is spun one final time. Gary opens the top door and
instantly the mitzvah child pops
up with a big “Ta-Da!” and the audience goes wild!
