The Secret to Hiring a Louisville Magician Without Regrets
The Secret to Hiring a Louisville Magician Without Regrets
Hiring a magician for your Louisville event? Excellent decision. The right magician will leave your guests buzzing about the experience long after the event is over.
The wrong magician? Well, let’s just say you might end up wishing you had gone with that PowerPoint presentation instead.
If you want a magician who will make your event unforgettable (for all the right reasons), here’s what you need to know. And yes, this is where I subtly remind you that I, Josh, am a professional magician who specializes in corporate events, fundraisers, and making sure your guests have a ridiculously good time.
Step 1: Identify What You Actually Need
Before you start Googling "Louisville magician who won’t embarrass me," think about the type of event you're planning. Is it a corporate gathering? A fundraiser? An elegant soirée where people sip cocktails and nod thoughtfully at sleight of hand? Different events call for different styles of performance.
My specialty is corporate and upscale events, meaning my magic is designed for professional settings—interactive, polished, and (most importantly) highly entertaining. If you’re looking for someone to pull quarters from behind ears for two hours, I may not be your guy. But if you want magic that wows a room full of executives or potential donors, we should talk.
Step 2: Know the Warning Signs
Not all magicians are created equal. If you want to avoid hiring someone who makes your guests uncomfortable (or worse, bored), keep an eye out for these red flags:
No Performance Videos. If they can’t show proof of their work, that’s a problem. Would you hire a DJ without hearing their music? Exactly.
Overly Generic Testimonials. If reviews say things like, “He was good,” but don’t explain why, that’s a red flag. A great magician’s reviews will mention specific moments that amazed the audience.
An Outdated or Unprofessional Website. If the website looks like it was built on a dial-up connection, that’s not a good sign. A pro invests in their online presence, just like they invest in their craft.
Step 3: Watch Them in Action (Beforehand!)
Hiring a magician blindly is like buying a car without a test drive—you could get lucky, but why risk it? Instead:
Look for videos of past performances (I have plenty!).
Read reviews that highlight audience reactions.
If possible, attend a public show to see them perform live (I do public performances—let’s make that happen!).
Step 4: Ask the Right Questions
When hiring a magician, don’t just ask, "Are you available?" (Though, for the record, you should check on that). Dig deeper with these key questions:
Have you performed at events like mine before? Hint: I have, and I can tell you exactly what works best.
How interactive is your show? The best magic isn’t at people—it involves them.
What kind of experience will my guests have? If “mind-blowing” and “hilarious” are on your checklist, you’re in the right place.
Can you make my boss disappear? It depends—do you want them to come back?
Step 5: Book Early—Or Be Disappointed
The best magicians in Louisville don’t sit around waiting for last-minute bookings. If you wait too long, you’ll either end up scrambling or settling for an option that... let’s just say isn’t ideal.
I make the booking process smooth and simple—so if you want to lock in a date, reach out sooner rather than later. Your guests will thank you.
