When you have any type of event on campus you want to attract as many attendees as possible, and this may mean hiring some entertainment. A good college magician can help to attract individuals to certain booths and can also liven up the event with individual entertainment as well. This means pulling people over to your booth and keeping them at your event for as long as possible.

Why hire this performer?

There are a few reasons why someone might want to consider a college magician for their event versus any other type of performer. One reason is that you may want your guests to be able to roam freely around your event. When you hire a comedian this means your audience must stand still and listen to their jokes. A good college magician can work the crowd with individual, strolling performances meaning that they can walk through the crowd and entertain them in a more low-key manner.

Another consideration when it comes to a good college magician versus a comedian or other type of performer is that you must be careful about offending your audience. It's easy to think that college-aged kids won't mind some racy or off-color humor, but remember that there may be parents present and of course faculty as well. Many comedians use lowbrow or even downright tacky humor in their acts, so a good college magician can perform without offending.

Using a college magician for an open house or other event can also mean not needing a lot of equipment for them. If you hire a comedian or singer or anyone else to perform, you may need a microphone and speakers and the right acoustics and so many other elements. However, a good strolling college magician usually just needs a few feet of room, and perhaps a cordless microphone for some. In most cases they can provide their own equipment, making it even easier on you.

Where to find them.

To find the right college magician for your event, you can easily shop online. Ensure that they provide strolling entertainment if your event is more casual and open-air. You can ask about the type of entertainment they provide and be sure to communicate about your expectations. In some cases you may want a college magician to put on an actual show on stage with the crowd seated, so be sure you note this and that you and the performer are in agreement about the performance they'll provide.

Find a college magician that has a demo video online that you can preview. This will give you an idea of how their performances turn out and the type of material they use during their performance. It's also good to talk to them about concerns you may have regarding off-color material or anything too graphic. Depending upon the expected audience, you may want a college magician that is much less risky than another that uses material that is over the top.
