Stage Magic Show – Requirements

STAGE

For audiences of 50 people or more, a stage 60-90cms high, with steps for the audience volunteers to use, is essential. If there is a band, Sue-Anne will perform in front of them but needs totally clear space of 3m deep x3m wide MINIMUM.

DANCEFLOOR

If you have a dancefloor between the stage and the audience, Sue-Anne can’t interact with them. Either:

1: Move the dancefloor to another part of the room.

2: Place a portable stage on the dancefloor, which is then removed after the show for dancing.

3: Bring guests up to sit “theatre-style” on chairs placed on the dancefloor immediately before the show

AUDIO SYSTEM

For the Stage Magic Show you need to provide speakers and an amplifier beside the stage. Sue-Anne will plug her iPod and Headset Microphone into it.

LIGHTING

We always say “the more lights the better”. Stage lighting is essential so the magic can be seen, and a “followspot” light will enable everyone to see the show.

DRESSING ROOM

Sue-Anne will require a private, secure dressing room as close as possible to the stage. A toilet will not do.

INTRODUCTION

If you have a compere for your event, all they need to do is to give the audience a 5 minute warning that the show is about to start. We do the rest. Alternately, you can use this introduction.

ANGLE-PROOF

The magic Sue-Anne performs is state-of-the-art and can be viewed from any angle. However, the show itself is best viewed from the front.

BAD TABLES

If you have any guests seated at tables beside or behind the stage, they’ll see Sue-Anne’s back for most of the show.

DECORATIONS

Large table decorations make it hard for some members of the audience to see the show. You can have the waiters remove them immediately before showtime.

SHOWTIME

The best time to have Sue-Anne perform is as soon as main course has been completely cleared. Your guests will be comfortable and ready to be entertained.

WAITERS

Make sure the waiters clear the tables and top up everybody’s drinks, that way they will not need to walk around during the show. This can be very distracting for your guests.
