David Blaine, Dynamo, Derren Brown, Criss Angel—the list goes on and on. Magic is

very popular with the general public

People LOVE to see magic and are prepared to pay to do so. As a restaurant manager/owner this is something you should take advantage of.

Close up magic is even more popular.

Of course, “close up magic” is the sort that is performed right in front of the spectator’s eyes and in Jon Finch’s case in their own hands.
As a magician, I frequently hear people say that don’t fully trust the magic they see on TV, but that when it happens to them they have a change of heart.

Close up magic is perfectly suited to a restaurant environment. You can have a magician going from table to table and your customers will love it

.

Unlike other entertainment, magic is inconspicuous.

If you decide that entertainment would work in your venue, there are many options. But other forms of entertainment have to be experienced by the whole venue.

One example is Karaoke. Karaoke can draw people into the restaurant–people looking for that sort of thing; but it can repel as many who dislike it.

Oftentimes people walk into a restaurant that has a Karaoke system set up, and they immediately walk out. If I wanted to eat there I HAD to listen to a couple hours of terrible singing and I didn’t want to do that.

The same is true of singers, bands, accordion players, comedians – every other type of entertainment – either you’re forced to stomach it or you leave.

Magic, on the other hand, is unobtrusive. A magician strolls from table to table engaging one group with magic and then another one. If a group doesn’t like magic or they’d not participate, they aren’t obliged to (unlike most other forms of entertainment.

It means you can put on entertainment which most customers will enjoy but
you don’t have to worry about driving away customers

Magic gives you a competitive advantage.

As noted above, people have plenty of choice of where to eat–even places that have outstanding cuisine.

How can you differentiate your venue from the dozens of others within the same area?

Simply offer

something unique that no other restaurant in your market is able to match

.

How can you beat that? Most folks these days don’t go out to eat every day. So when these guests do choose to eat out they want a unique experience and they want to get the most for their money.

If you were going out and there was a choice of two venues, both the same other than one was advertising free entertainment, which would you chose? More which would your customers chose?

One has outstanding cuisine, and another has outstanding cuisine and offers free entertainment as an extension of the eatery’s hospitality. 
It’s a no-brainer

.

Magic encourages repeat customers.

Most restaurants I’ve worked with use me on a residency basis. This means that I go into the restaurant on a weekly or a bi-weekly basis. This is the absolute best way to use a magician if you REALLY want your business to increase. Why? Simple—
magic induces incredible word of mouth

.

You know as well as I that there are few venues you can go to in Indiana to see magic. This is even more true for close-up magic. When your guests see a great magician entertain, they typically want to see more. More they will want their friends to watch as well.

I’ve been in restaurants before when the customer dining has called their friends to come and join them there and then because they really HAVE to see the magician.

Restaurants I’ve worked with on a weekly basis focus a great deal of their advertising on getting people in on the nights I am there.

You would be amazed at the amount YOUR guests

will come back every week

to see the magic. They will even bring their friends and family as well.
