Strolling/Walkaround/Roving/Table Hopping

• Attention is not taken away from the main purpose of the event.

• Informal, intimate and personal where guests are engaged close up as individuals, small groups or tables. Magician normally performs standing up.

• Interactions are normally 3 - 5 minutes per group. Highly-interactive form of magic that gets people involved.

• Great for events like company banquets, wedding receptions, corporate celebrations, proms/grad nights, grand openings, networking events, meet & greets, dinners, and ball room events, and even intermissions at live theater events. Also great in restaurants and bars.

• Great way to elevate your event and make it truly memorable.

• Could be a prelude to another type of show show later on.
