The Art of Selecting the Perfect Magician for Your Christmas Party in LA
Hiring a magician can be the cherry on top of your Christmas party, but it’s not just about finding someone who can pull a rabbit out of a hat. Here’s an expanded guide on the dos and don’ts to ensure you bring the right magic to your event.
DO Choose the Magic Castle Experience Wisely
While it’s tempting to pick any magician who’s spent time at the Magic Castle, it's crucial to ensure they've been hired to perform there, not just casually wandering around with card tricks. This distinction speaks volumes about their professionalism and expertise in the field.
Rediscovering Humanity: Most People Are Nice
In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the negativity and fear perpetuated by the media. Turn on the news, and you're bombarded with stories of violence, conflict, and discord. It's as if the world is on the brink of chaos. But in my travels, I've discovered a different truth—one that reminds me that most people are inherently good-natured. The key is to remain open to this positivity.
Use the Clean Hand
My new doctor had a similar physique to the Pillsbury Doughboy. During my physical, he sat on a small stool that was only an eighth of his size, typing into the computer with one finger at a time.
He wore a pair of reading glasses held together by a magnet, which split apart in the middle when he needed to take them off to relay obvious health advice like; drink more water, eat less red meat, don’t drink four cocktails a night. The basics.
There was a bit of confusion regarding whether I wanted a rectal exam.
Exit with a Smile
This morning during breakfast, a gentle elderly gentleman approached me and shared how much joy he found in seeing people exit the theater with smiles on their faces.
Live entertainment, in all its captivating forms, serves as a wonderful and simple diversion with the primary aim of bringing joy and happiness to people's lives.
Get in the Van!
Getting to the airport hotel is easy. Getting to the cruise ship from the hotel is a moving escape room. The day before, you are often emailed a list of instructions that are incorrect, but you still follow them because you are told to follow the instructions. And you never want to make the people in corporate sad.
I was instructed to be in the lobby NO LATER THAN 11 AM! (The instructional paper had this in all caps for emphasis, or it was someone over the age of 60 who thought they were using Facebook).
What Make You Happy?
I had a chance to chat with a guy at The Comedy and Magic Club who is truly passionate about surfing, and I couldn't resist asking him a question that had been lingering in my mind: "What makes you happy?" His response was both simple and profound, a glimpse into the depth of his emotions.
He looked at me with a genuine smile, his eyes alight with a sense of excitement that I could practically feel in the air. "Surfing," he said, his voice carrying the weight of unwavering conviction. It was as if those seven letters held an entire world of meaning. But he didn't stop there; he looked down at the ring on his finger and his expression softened.
