In a time of physical distancing, a virtual magic show provide an opportunity to bring people together through shared experiences that are filled with wonder and joy.
But how does it all work for an online event?
It’s pretty straightforward. Every segment of an act – be it close-up magic, mind-reading, sleight-of-hand demonstrations – is done online via video conferencing platforms like Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams.
Multiple people from all over the world can join in the fun. Family members, friends, colleagues, associates can experience everything together. Plus, they get to see each other’s reactions, which makes things even more entertaining.
Technology has made it possible for magic shows to be hosted online in front of large groups of people.
But it’s thanks to the creative power of talented magicians that a virtual magic show can exist without compromising engagement, interactivity, or that element of surprise, which makes this type of entertainment so great.
So, unlike watching magic tricks on YouTube, for example, the experience is unique for guests, as they don’t just sit and watch a show, but take part in it.
If you want this type of experience at your event, keep reading to discover four top acts that have been designed for an online event with remote audiences in mind.
