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.
