Trade Show Magician
Why a Trade Show Magician Could Be Your Booth’s Secret Weapon
Picture this: It’s trade show day. Your booth is up and running, your team is ready, but attendees are just strolling by, barely glancing your way.
Frustrating, right?
Now imagine something different: a crowd gathering, people craning their necks, smiling, and laughing. They’re leaning in, captivated. What’s the difference? A trade show magician.
If your first thought is,
“A magician? Really? We’re a serious company with a serious story.”
Trust me, you’re not alone.
This is a common reaction. But here’s the secret: A trade show magician isn’t about rabbits and hats—it’s about creating unforgettable experiences.
Let me tell you a story.
Back when I ran Scandur & Newman Productions, specializing in corporate entertainment, I learned one golden rule:
Entertain your audience, and you’ll engage them. Engage them, and you’ll inspire them to take action.
At Magnet Productions, we took that idea and combined entertainment with information—“infotainment”—to craft performances that make your message impossible to forget.
Still skeptical?
Let’s dig into why a trade show magician might just be the secret weapon your booth needs. We get tons of questions about this, so here’s the lowdown—with all the benefits spelled out like magic!
