Awards nights can benefit from Roving magic in more ways than just pre dinner icebreakers
here is a list of other ideas for Roving magic to enhance your Gala Dinner

• Performed to those waiting to be served or waiting for their plates to be cleared- filling in that dead time
• Performed to large tables - especially important when guests at tables do not know each other
• Performed at the end of the night when guests are dancing because not everyone dances
• In between award segments
  

FREE & OPTIONAL Photography addon
Simply- a photo is taken at the end of each performance to each group, this allows you to not have to take photos yourself. You receive these photos on a web gallery or a CD posted to you after the event. These photos really capture the energy and excitement of the show just witnessed and have been a extremly popular addition for the last 9 years. This only works if you book Welzman for 2 or more hours

This addon kills 2 birds with 1 stone

MAGICIAN IN DISGUISE HOAX addon
Unique to Welzman, and because Welzman is both a Photographer and a magician, he has created this amazing HOAX. Essentially Welzman arrives as Boris the Russian photographer and takes real photos just as a normal photographer would- arrival, social even award photos, then he (about 1 hour into the event) will approach a group in his Russian accent and camera and ask if he could do a new magic trick that I am learning. which turns into an amazing magic opener, and after this The accent changes to Australian revealing the Hoax.

Commonly known as a "stage show" or "After Dinner Show"

Performed to the entire audience at once either on a real stage, a small platform or on ground level as a floor show making it suitable for restaurants (you don't need the most expensive venue to put on a stage show)

You have 4 options for After Dinner shows at Awards nights:

1. After Dinner stage show by itself
2. After Dinner show broken into 5 minute performances throughout the night (highly recommended for award nights)
   
3. Combination Stage show with 1 or more hours of roving magic
4. The Stage version of "Magician in Disguise Hoax Show mega package can work for smaller awards nights of 250 guests or less
   

Option 1 The stage show by itself
Welzman's Interactive Stage show combines Magic, Mentalism (like the TV show) comedy at each stage of the show and audience participation and in some tricks on stage every single audience member is involved. This show is clean and not designed to put down the audience but make them laugh, feel good and feel the wow!

Option 2 After Dinner show broken into 5 minute performances throughout the night
The biggest problem with awards nights with many awards is it does become boring which is why the loggies periodically has entertainment on stage, instead of a larger show done all at once after dinner. So with that in mind you can book the stage show that is broken up into smaller pieces (how many pieces depends on how many awards you have) Not many awards you may not have to break up the show- 50 awards and you might want to consider adding a stage show here and there.

Option 3 Combination Stage show with 1 or more hours of Roving Magic
You can book the above stage show with 1 hour or more of Roving Magic in a combination package- you can also book a mini stage show of just 15 minutes if your event could not fit in a full 45 minute stage show, see cocktail party magic above for info on roving magic

Option 4 The Stage version of "Magician in Disguise Hoax Show mega package
The Total event experience.

Welzman arrives at your event as Boris the Russian Photographer, and takes arrival photos, social photos, award and speech photos, (these are real photos) then after dinner he takes to the stage to take audience photos, upon discovering that the audience is not looking happy enough for the photo- "Boris descides to tell jokes and other strange bizarre magic to get peoples attention and to get them to laugh for the perfect photo- this breaks into a full stage show. At the end of the show Boris thanks the audience in English for an extra kicker for the hoax . After the main show- Welzman performs close up magic while still taking photos after each performance.
In the Magician in Disguise mega package you get:

• Photography services (arrival, awards, social and exit)
