As June starts for second base the phone at the Wizard of Sorts office starts ringing off the hook. Myself and Erin, Manager of Sorts, have been fielding calls and emails from people scrambling to book me for last minute gigs.
To misquote John Van Buren, "Book early and book often." I already have several events booking in 2012! So, that brings us to the Jack 'O Lantern pictured left.
You should be planning your Halloween party now! I know, I know. Boooo! And that's not the ghostly kind of, "boo." It is more of a bad call, yell at the referee type of, "boo." I more than anyone would like to be thinking only of warm summer days spent at the lake shore and not thinking of fall weather, turning leaves and cool weather celebrations.
When I asked one of my agents how many full time magicians there are in Chicago, he said, "Good ones?" Of course. "Eight." No way there have to be way more than that. Right? Then we started listing names and I think he is right. There are very few of us. There are a few (I only know of one) good part time magicians in town but they are even rarer.
I hear what you are saying. You are saying that you can go to Google and search for "Chicago magician" and get a dozen results. But remember what he said, "Good ones." Of course that's just his opinion but he books many events so he has lots of experience.
With so few good magicians available it is imperative to plan early. My first weekend in October is already completely booked with a two day festival. I expect the rest of the month to mostly booked by the end of July and Christmas events start booking in August!
So, call now to book your:
- End of Summer celebrations
- Back to School Days
- Awards nights
- Christmas
- New Years
