Infotainment
How Infotainers Transform Trade Show Booths into Unforgettable Experiences
In today’s hyper-competitive trade show environment, standing out is a bigger challenge than ever. Post-pandemic, exhibitors face intense competition, higher audience expectations, and increasing pressure to justify ROI. That’s where infotainment—the perfect blend of entertainment and education—becomes the game-changer your booth needs.
​
At Magnet Productions, infotainment isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the foundation of our trade show marketing strategy. By turning complex messages into engaging, memorable experiences, we draw massive crowds to your booth, amplify your brand story, and generate more qualified leads than ever before.
What Is Infotainment, and Why Does It Work?
Infotainment is material designed to both entertain and inform. But at Magnet Productions, we take it a step further:
​
-
Engagement Through Entertainment: Fun, exciting presentations spark curiosity and trigger dopamine, keeping attendees hooked.
-
Memorable Messaging: Emotional engagement—whether through laughter, awe, or surprise—boosts memory retention, ensuring your key takeaways resonate long after the event ends.
-
The Magnet Difference: We align every illusion, story, or performance directly with your brand objectives, seamlessly weaving your message into the entertainment.
Real-Life Examples: Making Complex Simple
At a network security trade show, Magnet Productions worked with a client to demonstrate vulnerabilities in password security. Infotainer Chad Long performed an astonishing illusion where attendees created a “random” password—only for Chad to predict the exact password. This jaw-dropping moment captured attention and seamlessly transitioned into showcasing the client’s security solution.

At Black Hat MEA, Danny Orleans blended magic and storytelling to explain complex cybersecurity concepts. By engaging tech-savvy attendees with relatable, visual demonstrations, Danny transformed technical details into unforgettable takeaways.

Our Strategic Approach to Infotainment
When you work with Magnet Productions, we start by asking:
​
-
What do you want to achieve at this trade show?
-
Are you looking for massive crowds or highly qualified leads?
-
Do you need to raise brand awareness or communicate a specific message?
-
Do you want attendees to remember your story and seek out your team?
​
Whatever your goals, we design a custom infotainment experience to meet them.
Types of Infotainment We Offer
For over 25 years, we’ve delivered powerful, results-driven infotainment performances tailored to trade show audiences.
Using customized illusions, our professional magicians draw huge crowds and cleverly weave your brand message into their tricks. Every “wow” moment reinforces your solutions and keeps your booth packed.
Our jugglers do more than impress with incredible skills—they incorporate your messaging into their routines, illustrating how your products or services solve customer challenges.
Our mentalists amaze audiences by predicting their thoughts and actions—a perfect fit for messaging around predictive analytics or forward-thinking solutions. These interactive performances turn skepticism into curiosity and engagement.
Imagine a performer breaking free from a straitjacket while riding a unicycle—all while delivering a compelling presentation on your solutions. It’s unforgettable, and it drives booth traffic like nothing else.
Interactive game shows turn attendees into enthusiastic participants, with every question and answer centered on your product or service. Easy-to-join games keep the energy high and the leads flowing.
Unlike robotic presentations full of jargon, our professional presenters tell your story in plain, engaging, and entertaining language. We turn your messaging into a conversation that leaves attendees informed, inspired, and eager to connect with your team.
