Introduction
I was panicking like crazy. Why on earth had I agreed to do
this? Thats what was going through my head as I sat at Table
Four and watched my fellow guests finishing their meals.
I had agreed to perform magic at a friends wedding. This
would be the first time I would approach a group of people sat
at a dinner table and ask them if they wanted to see some
magic. I hoped it would turn out fine.
It didnt go well.
I had agreed to do an hour of table magic after the speeches. I
was really nervous. My mouth was so dry, I couldnt even
finish my meal as I waited for that moment when I had to
stand up and start going from table to table.
When it was time, I got up, pulled out my deck of cards, and
looked around the room. I didnt know most of the people
there, and everyone seemed deep in conversations around
their tables. Where should I start? How do I begin? Why on
earth had I agreed to do this?
I randomly picked a table, walked up to it, and waited for
everyone to stop what they were doing and start becoming an
audience. That didnt happen of course. Instead I was left
standing there for what seemed like 10 minutes (although it
was actually only about a minute) whilst everyone continued
chatting around the table. In the end I butted in, apologised for
Why is that?
Every event is different, each magician is different, and pretty
much all spectators are different too. Approaching people
effectively isnt about following a set technique, its about
reading the situation and making sure that you are prepared to
react to what you see happening in that moment. Approaching
people is about people skills. The secret of a good approach is
a combination of self-condence, understanding social cues,
manners, and correctly assessing the environment around you.
Close-up magicians
versus
Stage magicians
Close-up magicians have it tough and stage magicians have it
easy. OK, thats not really fair, but magicians that perform
close-up magic have some serious issues that stage magicians
dont face. Im going to start things off by looking at
differences between stage magic and close-up magic, so that
we can highlight some of the specic issues that need to be
handled when you approach a table to perform close-up
magic.
Choice
The audience for a stage show has chosen to see you perform
your magic tricks. With table magic, the audience doesnt
know who you are or even that you will be performing. You
need to win over each table as a new audience. This gets
easier as the event goes on, as tables hear the reactions from
previous tables, but you still have to make a great first
impression over and over again.
Location
The audience visits a theatre to watch a magic show. They
make the decision to come to you to watch your show. With
table magic, you go to them. Because of this, the locations are
very different. With a stage show, you create the environment
that the magic tricks are staged within. Table magicians need
to fit into a larger context, so your magic must be designed to
complement an existing event. You need to be prepared for
surprises.
Lighting
Stage magicians can ensure that the lighting for the show is
perfect for the magic tricks they will present. If you need a
dark area you can make sure that happens at just the right
moment. If you need the lighting to focus attention away from
an object or from you, this can be easily built into the show.
Close-up magic happens in random locations, often in
restaurants and busy bars. The lighting can be too dark, or
very bright, and you will have no control over it. You need to
make sure that the magic tricks you can perform are suitable
for as many lighting set-ups as possible.
Sound
Stage magic is supported by a PA system so the whole room
can hear you. Sound effects can be added, as well as backing
music. This can be used to change the mood and attention of
your spectators when you need that to happen.
Table magic takes place inside a larger event. Its social in
nature and happens in and around conversations. A band or
loud music may be the background to your magic tricks, so
you cant assume that your audience will even be able to hear
you. This creates a real challenge for you as a close-up
magician. You need to engage with the spectators and
entertain them, but, at the same time, you need to make sure
that your magic can be understood even if the spectator cant
hear you very well.
Good table magic is presented in sets of magic tricks designed
for different sound conditions. You should have at least five or
six magic tricks ready to perform should you find yourself in
a situation where nobody can hear what you are saying. If you
dont do this, you may find you are limited in locations that
you can work at a gig.
Set
Stage magic has the advantage of being able to control the
environment to reinforce the magic or the presentation within
a particular magic show. Everything can be arranged exactly
how you want it to present your magic tricks for maximum
impact.
Costume
Stage magicians can tell a story as much through their
costumes as the magic itself. From a Chinese 19th century
royal court, through to a sinister torture chamber; the act is set
in a theme that communicates the story of the show.
Magicians that perform table magic usually wear a suit. They
match the costumes that their spectators wear. The goal is to
integrate rather than stand out. When thinking about approach,
this creates an issue. You will tend to look like either another
guest, or possibly one of the restaurant staff. Ill teach you
how you can deal with this and use it to your advantage later.
Seating
When a stage audience is seated, they have been arranged in a
position to pay full attention to the show. Table magicians
have little control over the seating plan of the restaurant. The
audience isnt going to be seated so that everyone can see you.
When you perform table magic, you need to move around.
You need to engage different groups and capture peoples
attention. Its very important that you take some time to
practice this and examine how your magic will work when
your audience is not all sat directly in front of you.
Beginners often struggle with seating, as they practice their
magic tricks as if the audience is watching a stage show.
When it comes to performing in a real-world situation, they
become confused and unsure how to present their magic tricks
as people move around or are seated in a way that could
expose their magic secrets.
Attention
The moment the lights go down at a stage magic show,
everyone is paying attention. The stage magicians job is to
keep that attention and stop the audience either falling asleep
or leaving.
Table magicians need to win the attention of the group, and
then keep it. Spectators can be interrupted, or become
10
Misdirection
Stage magicians are being watched from the moment they
arrive on stage. Many of the techniques of misdirection are
different from those of magicians doing close-up magic.
Close-up magicians, by denition, are closer to the audience.
You will need to use misdirection techniques specically
designed for this situation. Tactics like eye-contact, crossing
gaze, positioning, and questioning can all be used much more
effectively in a close-up magic setting.
Applause
We have all been trained from an early age to clap at the end
of a stage performance. This is not so much the case for closeup shows. Because close-up magic is much more intimate,
spectators tend not to use applause. They simply tell you how
much they liked the magic trick they just saw.
11
Do This:
Take a moment to think about these differences. List the
magic you currently perform, and next to each trick or set
answer these questions:
1)
What practical steps can you build into the magic tricks
you already perform that can communicate the need to
clap after you show a group your magic tricks?
2)
3)
4)
5)
So as you can see, lifes a bit more complex for us. We walk
up to a table without introduction, and interrupt a meal in
progress. We compete with so many other activities and

the room? Will you be in the way when you are standing at
tables near their serving points?
Waiting areas - Where are the best places to wait when
speeches or awards take place? Is a side-room available? If a
speech starts, can you easily leave the room without having to
get in the way of the speaker?
VIP tables - Where will the client be sitting? Where can you
stand so that the VIP table gets to see you working the room
and the other guests enjoying your magic? Can you easily get
to them to give them some extra time?
Bag corner - Where can your magicians case/bag be stored
and easily accessed? Can you find a side-room or quiet corner
where you will have some privacy to set up, yet know that
your bag will be safe?
Table sides - Which side of each table would be best to
perform from to get the best visibility, yet provide shielding
from the other tables?
Table time - How many tables will you need to visit? How
much time should you allow per table?
Once you have made a note of these points and made sure
there are no nasty surprises, its time to introduce yourself to
some very important people.
19
Which tables have been served first and which tables will
be next?
In which direction are the waiting staff working through
the room?
Will there be presentations or speeches starting whilst
you are performing?
When will the live music start, and which section of the
room will be hard to perform in once it begins?
20
21
Interruptions
If possible, mention that there are applause moments in the
magic you will perform. In those moments the guests will be
watching closely. Dont boss the staff around, but if you
mention this they will look out for it and soon understand
when its not a good time to interrupt. This is also a good time
to ask that waiters dont offer drinks or canaps to a group if
you are performing for them. Be polite about this and explain
that you will not get in their way. If the staff are aware, then it
will not ruin the magic for the guests.
22
23
You dont need to give a long speech to the waiting staff, but a
quick chat just to mention these points will really help your
interaction with the whole team when you start at a new
restaurant. Performing magic in restaurants can be a fastpaced and challenging experience, so keep the restaurant staff
on your side and aware of the help your magic provides.
24
PART 2
YOUR
FRAME OF
MIND
25
Get positive
A good approach isnt just about the things you say and do,
its about how you feel as well. Many magicians get nervous
before they approach a table. Good magic is as much about
the performer as it is about the magic tricks. Being relaxed,
presentable and communicating a positive attitude is very
important. Even today, after many years of performing magic
professionally, I still sometimes feel magicians nerves just
before I start performing. Its usually when there is something
unusual about the gig. I take my time and wander around the
event for a few minutes, getting a feel for the venue and the
situation. After a short tour of the room, I move up to my first
group of spectators and find I relax as soon as I start
performing. Getting ready to perform doesnt start at that
moment. There are things you can do whilst setting up for
your show, or getting your props ready for a close-up session.
Lets look at a few things you can easily do before you
perform your magic:
26
through your nose and out through your mouth. Count your
breaths slowly as you do this, counting to ten and then
returning back to one again. As you do this, try to focus only
on your breathing. As your mind wanders, gently return your
attention back to your breath.
Many performers also find that a simple visualisation can
help. As you breathe out, imagine all the fear, negativity and
doubt being breathed out along with the breath. As you
breathe in, imagine condence and positivity are slowly
flowing into you via your breath. Repeat this for a few
minutes and see how it makes you feel.
2) Use an afrmation
Lift both arms up into the air, as if you are running through
the finish line in a race. Say to yourself:
I feel fantastic, and everyone will love my magic.
You will be surprised about how this makes you feel. There is
a lot of research in publication about positive afrmation and
posture to gain condence.
27
Laugh and remember that feeling and keep it with you as you
start your show.
Remember to be smiling as you perform. Even if you are
focused on the mechanics or the situation around you,
remember to keep a happy expression. You need to
communicate that you are having a great time, so that those
around you do the same.
4) Act energy
You may be tired, stressed from travelling, or feeling a little
ill, but you should not show it. If you feel tired and have no
energy, fake it! You become how you act. Bound up a few
steps to the entrance to the room, check the mirror before you
walk in. Imagine feeling fantastic and full of energy and you
will really feel it.
5) Be playful
Remember that its really not that signicant. You arent a
brain surgeon, you have nobodys life in your hands. Its just a
bit of fun and entertainment for everyone. Nobody is taking it
as seriously as you do yourself, after all your years of practice
and angst. If something goes wrong, the whole room isnt
going to stop and point at the door for you to leave. In reality,
you can just shrug it off and carry on. Dont give yourself a
hard time. One of the most common reactions from magic
students that do their first live gig is a sense that it was all
worry over nothing.
28
Emotional connection
When we talk about emotional connection, it is too often
immediately assumed that we are referring to the art of
attraction, or upset. Emotional connection covers all areas of
humanity, and the secret to gaining a connection with your
audience is actually easier than you may think. Essentially,
you need the audience to like you. Fortunately you are already
halfway there as the audience wants to like you. People
naturally want to be relaxed. So, smile!
29
Maintain eye-contact
Picture yourself sat in an audience, and the performer glances
across the audience and then looks directly at you. How do
you feel? One things for sure, you will feel more involved in
the act than you did moments before. Now imagine youre sat
at a table, and a magician approaches the table and begins his
act. He spends most of his time looking at his hands, and
when he does look up he looks at everyone at the table other
than you. How do you feel? Isolated and uninvolved.
Every time you are speaking make sure you are making
eye contact.
30
2)
3)
Talk to the people, not your props. Your props are purely
that, props. You are the magic, not the props.
31
Be emotional
Reveal your humanity with emotions. You need to reveal a
part of you, and you do that by letting us glimpse your
innards, your emotions. To show a passion for something is to
show humanity. To show humanity makes you instantly
likeable and encourages connectivity, which is a natural,
human desire in all of us. So show emotions, be as surprised
as the audience, be as disappointed that you didnt find that
playing card as the audience is. And should any mistake
occur, mock it with the spectators! Share the emotions of your
act.
32
PART 3
APPROACHING A
TABLE
33
34
have enough time to visit every table during the meal, you can
perform magic whilst the starters are being eaten. Its not the
best situation and you wont hold the spectators attention
completely. However, starters are often served cold and the
meal has just begun, so many guests will watch your magic
before they begin eating. Never interrupt guests while they are
eating a main course or dessert.
35
36
37
38
39
surprised how often you can use a spectators name, and have
them completely amazed that you just knew it straight away.
They will often ask you how you know their name, so its a
great chance to play with that and have some fun.
40
41
42
Introducing yourself
Magicians that havent performed to the public often tend to
worry about how they are going to start off their performance.
They may be condent in the magic tricks they perform, but
approaching people isnt a magic trick, its about condence
as a performer and overcoming fear of being rejected.
43
time than the waiters that offers them drinks or canaps. Relax
into the role of the magician you are playing.
2)
3)
44
Its really as easy as that. Just like any introduction, its about
the APPEARANCE of condence and purpose. It doesnt
matter if you are feeling nervous about the approach, so long
as you dont show it. If you edge slowly up to a table and fail
to make eye-contact or smile, you are giving signals that you
dont want attention and so thats exactly the result you will
get.
Approach with purpose. Speak clearly and with enough
volume in your voice that everyone will hear you. You have
something very interesting for them and they are the lucky
people to get to see you next.
45
Eye-contact
Make eye-contact with people all around the table. Pay special
attention to people sat on the opposite side of the table.
If you approach looking down at the deck of playing cards in
your hand, or only at the people to your immediate left or
right, you limit the range of attention you are applying to the
table. Address everybody and make eye-contact around the
whole group.
46
Interrupting conversations
Its very unlikely that the table of guests will all be sat in
silence waiting for you to arrive. Conversations will be taking
47
Everybody
Everyone
All of us
All of you
When people overhear you using these words they will tend to
pay attention and look up.
48
Dont rush in
Earlier we talked about using an opening gambit; one of the
disadvantages of this is that it reduces your ability to create a
connection with your audience. Rushing straight into a magic
trick prevents you from creating a bond, a common point of
view, and a connection greater than the magic trick you use to
introduce yourself. You may find that taking a few moments
to ask how everybody is, whether people are having a good
time, or simply if they have any idea who you are, will win
over the table very quickly. Being interested in how the table
is enjoying the evening will get everybodys attention. It
removes the moment of confusion when spectators suddenly
find out that you are an entertainer as a result of a magic trick
being thrust upon them.
Approaching strangers to show them your magic tricks is one
of the most common areas of fear for magicians, but its as
simple as any introduction. Taking time to practice
introducing yourself will be time well spent. As you gain
experience, you will discover that its not as hard as you
imagine.
49
Canned introductions
Your well-rehearsed magic tricks shouldnt be presented in a
canned fashion. In just the same way, your introduction
shouldnt appear to be scripted or canned. That is quite hard
to avoid.
Like everything, a good approach doesnt sound fake. Your
introduction may have been worked out in advance, but it
should appear to be honest, natural and fresh. That can be
achieved by good scripting, as long as you put in the time to
work on its delivery.
Be yourself
Although it can be done, when magicians try to present
themselves in a character that is different from their natural
selves it usually looks fake. Successful magicians tend to
present their real selves, albeit a polished version of them.
50
In just the same way, when you approach a table, relax and be
yourself. Be happy and full of energy, but dont try to play a
character that isnt an aspect of the real you. Imagine you are
approaching a table of your family and friends. They all love
you and cant wait to see you again. You dont need to be
anything other than yourself.
By making the commitment to be honest in your approach,
you will avoid the mistake that many magicians make when
they start performing magic:
51
Annoying people
Whats the difference between an annoying show-off and a
highly successful entertainer? Why do some magicians
constantly annoy people?
Have you ever seen skilled magicians that you simply dont
like? They may be highly recommended magicians, but, for
some reason, they rub you up the wrong way. Why are some
magicians great at entertaining people, whilst others simply
come across as show-offs?
I dont think the difference is talent. There are hugely talented
magicians who seem to be nothing more than self-promoting
egos. Yet at the same time, there are highly successful
magicians who only perform very simple techniques, yet hold
everybody spellbound.
I suspect its about the choices that the magicians have made
when they have developed their performing characters.
Without thinking about how they come across to spectators,
some magicians fall into the trap of believing their own hype,
whist at the same time becoming generic and interchangeable
in their performing persona.
Ive found that the following characteristics can be common
in many magicians who have not taken the time to think about
their performing character:
52
Irritating
Attention-seeking
Cheap and tacky
Patronising
Annoying
Self-promoting
Arrogant
Superiority complex
Fake
Generic
53
Never be tacky
Avoid terrible jokes and one-liner gags as much as possible. It
makes you look cheap and generic. Add your own humour
and style. Be witty and comic if that suits you, but smutty
jokes and put-downs make you look low-rent.
Do this:
Think about all your best characteristics. Take a moment to
write down all the best things people like about you. If you
are feeling brave, ask some trusted friends to write a short
54
55
56
57
Distracting
Example: Offering wine around the table, asking the group if
they want drinks or making a phone call in the middle of your
trick.
Over-examining
Example: Asking you to give them the deck of playing cards
to shufe at inappropriate moments.
Excessive joking
Example: Making wisecracks that attempt to draw the groups
attention back to them.
Cross-conversations
Example: Starting a conversation with part of the group or
telling an anecdote in the middle of the magic trick.
58
59
60
61
Where to stand
When you walk up to a table, look for a gap between two
people that are not in conversation. If you suddenly appear
between two people who are talking, there is a chance you
will be ignored. Not being noticed by the guests next to you is
a strong signal to the whole table. Not the impression you
want to communicate. Find a space which isnt hidden by
large objects on the table, so everyone can see you. A visible
space, between two people who are not already engaged will
mean that they both stop and look at you. Everyone else can
see that you have arrived, and that people are paying
attention.
62
Capturing attention
A large table, by its nature, has a lot of people around it. That
means that it will have plenty of stuff happening just as you
approach it. Its easy to go unnoticed, unless you make sure
you can capture the attention of the group.
When you walk over to a table, some people will notice you
and stop their conversations to pay attention to the new
arrival. Some may think you are a waiter and have come to
bring something to the table, whilst others will simply ignore
you because they are deep in conversation. Its vital that you
are condent at this point. If you sneak up to the table and
stand there waiting for everyone to stop what they are doing,
you may be in for a long wait.
Your introduction
Its time to say something. Address the people on the opposite
side of the table. Introduce yourself and say briey what you
are about to do. Make eye-contact with several people as you
do this. Your introduction is about starting a conversation with
the whole table.
If conversations continue
Resist the temptation to ask people to stop what they are
doing. Instead, use an indirect way to gather everyone into the
show that is starting. One way to do this, is to pick a volunteer
63
and ask the whole table to give them a round of applause for
helping you, this will politely end most conversations that are
happening because something very interesting is going on
with the rest of the group. Its also very enjoyable for the table
and a great signal to give to the rest of the room.
Involving everyone
Use magic that gets people involved. Ask questions and get
people interacting with other people around the table.
Move around
Dont stay in one spot through your whole act. Circling the
table as you address people between tricks will make people
track you. As you move, ask a question or tell the table
something, so they follow you. Moving around keeps the
energy going and captures the attention.
64
The secret
Its all about giving people something to do. They clap, put
their hands up, volunteer someone else, answer a question,
follow you as you move to another spot, or get involved by
holding an object. If you engage people ALL AROUND the
table, you can easily hold the whole groups attention.
Performing your magic tricks at a large table is not as hard as
it looks. Its all about audience control, and that is 99% about
giving people fun things to do, a reason to participate, and the
social signals that a show has started for them.
65
PART 4
GENERAL TIPS
66
Emailing a client
In this book we have discussed approaching tables, but there
is another approach that magicians have to make thats just as
important.
The main sales funnel for magicians is their website. Clients
wanting to hire a magician will usually check out your
website before they contact you, which means that most
clients will make their first contact to you via email. Its
important to know how to answer emails from people that
want to hire you. Here are a few tips:
Keep it brief
The client contacting you has already checked out your
website. If your website has been built correctly it will already
have all the information needed, including a section on
frequently asked questions. Your response email isnt the time
to bombard your client with lots of information about you.
Keep the email professional and brief.
67
68
69
Follow up
Its vital that you remember to follow up after you have sent a
quotation email. Wait one or two days and then send an email
checking that they have received your quotation, and asking if
they have any further questions. I cant stress how important
this is. So many magicians dont follow up. They send out a
quote, sit back, and hope that it will lead to a booking. Taking
just a moment to follow up will often be the difference
between a booking and a missed opportunity.
70
71
2) Punctuality
Successful magicians make a habit of arriving in plenty of
time for their shows. Being on time is vital if you want to
build a great reputation. In fact, being on time is not good
enough. Arriving early to a gig gives you time to check out
the venue, chat with the client and the event staff, and address
any unexpected problems that may have occurred. If you are
booked to start at 8pm, make sure you arrive by 7pm. An
extra hour may seem excessive, but it pays off over the long
term. Being relaxed, ready and prepared is far more important
than an extra hour before you set off for a gig. That hour is
usually spent in preparation limbo anyway, so spend it at the
venue instead. Being early means that you stay calm and
relaxed.
72
Introduce;
Engage;
Create energy;
73
6) Simplication
There are commercial magic tricks, and tricks designed for
entertaining magicians. One of the most common differences
between the two forms of magic is simplicity. Successful
74
7) Timing
Probably the most important skill of successful magicians, yet
one that is so often overlooked, is timing. Knowing just when
to pause, when to speed up, and when to pass a cheeky smile
to the spectator. Timing is everything, once the mechanical
aspects of a magic trick have been mastered. Despite this, its
not discussed in the instructions for most magic tricks. Timing
comes from rehearsal of the whole trick, including the patter
and physical actions. Its then developed through live
performance and remains in a constant state of development
throughout the magicians whole experience performing the
act. There are many courses and books for actors on timing,
and its effort well spent building up as much knowledge as
possible on this key skill to becoming a successful magician.
75
76
Sets of tricks
As a basic framework you probably want to create three
different sets of magic tricks. Each set has an opener, some
middle effects, and the closing trick. Its a good idea to have
three different sets because you may be performing in a
restaurant with tables very close together. You can rotate the
sets so that you not performing the same magic tricks if a
table you have already visited decides to overlook the next
tables performance.
77
Types of tricks
Try to select tricks that dont require the use of a table surface.
Once objects are placed on the table youve limited their
visibility for most of the guests. You also dont want to spend
any time rearranging the table surface to make room for your
props. Keep the magic in your hands or in the hands of your
spectators as much as possible.
Ideally the trick should be able to be reset very quickly. You
want to be able to move from table to table without having to
leave the room to reset. If a reset is required make sure that
the magic trick can be set up discreetly, so that you dont have
to hide away to do the necessary work.
The props should comfortably fit in your pockets. You can
carry around an item between tables, such as a chop cup, but
most of your props should be able to be hidden away about
your person.
Try to avoid long-winded multiphase routines. These are great
for showing other magicians, but you may find it hard to keep
peoples attention at the tables. Ideally, choose easy to
understand tricks that have a surprising and visual climax.
Avoid magic tricks that could be regarded as offensive. You
cant assume that everybody has your great sense of humour.
You are representing both the venue and the client, so you
need to be mindful of any message your magic is sending.
Performing at tables can be very demanding on the props.
Make sure you choose items that are going to be durable and

mean that you never have to disappoint spectators.

Approaching agents
Mark asked for help finding an agent or entertainment agency
that provides work for magicians.
Mark writes:
I am trying to get an agent. I have a pretty good website, but
I dont know how to go about making a magicians showreel. I
have a resume that my magic teacher made for me, and I
think it looks pretty good. I really dont have much experience
performing professionally, but I have performed magic at
several weddings. Please can you give me some advice and
guidelines for contacting entertainment agents or getting
discovered.
Well done on building up your magic training to the point
where you want to make the next big step and start
performing magic for the public on a commercial basis!
The next step is to start building relationships with either a
single management agent or a collection of entertainment
agents. Lets look at some ways to get started:
Create a list
A quick Google search should be your starting point. Start
compiling a list of agencies that list acts similar to your own.

Conclusion
I hope this book has given you some useful information and
tips about how to approach tables. The key message is very
simple. Approaching a table is much easier than most people
think. You dont need to worry about it. Its simply a process
of walking up to a table with a smile, waiting just a short
moment for a break in conversation, and introducing yourself
with condence. There really isnt anything more to it than
that. However, things go wrong when magicians dont take
time to check the situation at the table before they approach it.
The main message of this book is that you should pause for a
moment and study the table you are about to join. Try to
understand the group dynamics going on around the table, and
anticipate any interruptions you may face. This becomes very
easy over time, and will soon become second nature.
