Roger Clemens - The Roger Clemens Foundation

One of the advantages of the Magical Showman Experience is how easily it fits into your event.

Ted’s premium strolling magical entertainment is designed to move naturally among your guests without the need for complicated technical requirements, special lighting, staging, or a large production setup. Ted arrives prepared with the magical material needed for the strolling experience, along with Presto the Magic Rabbit when included.

The entertainment is flexible, self-contained, and designed to work smoothly within cocktail hours, receptions, dinners, celebrations, hospitality events, and other social settings without disrupting the natural flow of the event.

For events that include the optional 20-Minute Featured Presentation, the performance can take place on an existing stage, dance floor, or other suitable performance area. Because this is a featured presentation, appropriate sound, microphone support, and event lighting should already be available through the venue or event production team.

Specific technical details can be coordinated in advance based on the event and venue.

Stage & Setup Requirements

The strolling Magical Showman Experience does not require a traditional stage or elaborate setup.

That is part of what makes it so easy to incorporate into an event. Ted moves and mingles naturally throughout the room, bringing premium close-up magic, theatrical mind reading, playful mentalism, comedy, and Presto the Magic Rabbit directly to your guests.

There is no need to stop the event, assemble an audience, or create a separate performance space for the strolling portion of the experience.

If you choose to add the optional 20-Minute Featured Presentation, Ted can perform on an existing stage, dance floor, or other appropriate focal area where guests can comfortably see the performance.

For the featured presentation, the venue or client should provide the performance area along with any necessary sound system, microphone, and event lighting.

That gives you the flexibility of premium strolling entertainment with the option of adding a strong featured entertainment moment when the occasion calls for it.
