Magician for Corporate Events |
|
The role of
Corporate Magician encompasses a huge variety of roles, venues,
situations and requirements and I've chosen to specialise in corporate
magician work because it is both very demanding and very rewarding.
The main challenge as a corporate magician is the constant development
and delivery of new and original ideas and effects, to keep the magic
fresh and compelling. Great new ideas and tricks allow me to
continually baffle, bewilder and entertain many, many people.

"We all had an absolute
blast yesterday and you were the talk of the evening and now all I’ve
heard this morning is “he was amazing, how did he do that?” – so thank
you for making the event extra special."

"David was really
professional. We had many overseas
customers there, as well as members of our trade press, and everyone was
delighted with his act - each table gave him applause as he went round
to them. I found the magic amazing - he's very skilful! I'd definitely
recommend him!."

Corporate Entertainment |
|
Trying to impress a new client? Looking to
entertain an existing client or to impress an overseas one? Hoping to
gain the approval of a potential investor? Just wanting a relaxing
time after a long seminar?
Whatever your hospitality plans, why not include a touch of intimate,
very special magical entertainment? Very often, I'm asked to perform
as a table magician, enthralling
guests (between courses if that suits you best) with a subtle blend of
humour and close up magic.
Over the years, I've undertaken
corporate entertainment
for many of the UK's largest blue chip companies – performing magic in
so many different environments, ranging from a handful of guests
seated at a private dining table to being in front of thousands of
guests at a banquet in the Grand Hall at the Dorchester Hotel in Park
Lane, London.
If you'd like to discuss your requirements, please do get in touch. I
promise you and your clients an unforgettable evening.

Product Launches, Trade Shows and Crowd
Gatherings |
 |
If you're launching a
new product and you're looking for something completely different, why
not try a bit of magic?
A magician's skills are always guaranteed to gather a crowd – whether
that be around your product, outside your shop or at your trade show.
It also works remarkably well by providing a subtle, 'ambient'
entertainment around your showroom for a new launch.
I've used my magician's skills in this way for companies such as O2,
Audi, Land Rover, The Mall of the Emirates - Dubai, Alliance &
Leicester, British Home Stores, Burton Menswear, Sainsbury's, Canary
Wharf Shopping Centre and many more. |

"We have used Dave and the team he had with him for the last couple
years at our annual Awards night and he has been fabulous!
We have around 500 staff attend and everyone that saw them thought
they were great, hence the reason we bring them back each year!
I would definitely recommend Dave to any function you have!" |

Staff
Christmas Party? Annual
Award Ceremony? Summer Ball?
Every business will at some time need to host a prestigious function.
The Champagne reception and 3-course meal, guest speaker, awards and
speeches…
… but why not 'break the mould' and surprise everyone with a really
special and very different evening? That's exactly what will happen
with my close up magic show. Your staff or guests will remember and
talk about the event for months afterwards.
I'll mix and mingle with your guests during the reception drinks,
breaking the ice and setting the mood for the evening. There are
always plenty of 'wows' and laughter. Then, between courses at dinner,
I'll visit each table and perform a 'personal'
close up magic show,
using sleight of hand, very clever pick-pocketing and some Derron
Brown style mind reading.

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your performance at our
charity ball on Saturday. All of our guests have commented on how
brilliant you were and I can assure you, you were the sole topic of
conversation at the breakfast tables in the hotel on Sunday morning!"

Open Days and Opening Ceremonies |
|
Making sure your company day is one to
remember can be beneficial in so many ways, whether to impress
clients, visitors or staff family members.
Whatever the location - grounds, office, shop floor or warehouse, my
skills as a wandering or strolling magician will come in to play. I
will mix and mingle effortlessly with your guests, delighting and
entertaining them wherever they are.
I've performed magic at airport lounge openings, performed on shop
floors, toured call centres and even performed in the cramped
conditions of a Royal Navy ship's engine room!
I can even build your "corporate message" into the performance, or
introduce your products as part of the magic show.

Bohle
hails open day as a 'magic event'
As with
any good magic show, audience participation is the key to a
spectacular performance and this was certainly the case at
Bohle's latest customer open day, seeing the company conjure up
another array of exciting activities and demonstrations to
mesmerize even the most sceptical of minds.
Spellbinding the visitors was clearly the order of the day with
guests entertained by the extraordinary skills of close-up
magician David Bonsall whose skills 'wowed' his captive audience.
With perfect sleight of hand Bohle showcased its wide and
extensive range of.....
