Can you believe it? Halloween is only 3 months away. This is the magical time for magicians if you really think about it. If you are a magician and you aren’t taking advantage of the Halloween season, you are missing the boat.
First off, marketing yourself as a party magician for Halloween parties is a great way to bring in extra income during the month of October. If you do kids parties, take it up to the next level and bring a whole Halloween theme to your show. Send out special flyers, market yourself on social media, send out postcards and you may find your phone ringing wanting you to bring more fun and adventure to someone’s Halloween party.
Now once you have a few bookings here are some ideas for bringing the Halloween spirit to your performance. Wearing a Halloween costume for your wardrobe is fun. Consider dressing like the grim reaper, a werewolf, Count Dracula, or a mad scientist. Wear those fun, spooky contact lenses to make your eyes appear evil. They come in numerous colors and designs and have a lot of shock value. Also trading out your traditional props for something with a Halloween theme is a simple and easy way to transform your show.
Now, let’s say you didn’t get any outside bookings to perform at a party….then why not throw a party at your own house. This is free marketing for you. Invite all the kids and their parents in the neighborhood for a sort of magical open house, where not only do kids get to come trick or treat, but they get their own little magic show. Some parents may be wary of letting their kids come in to your house, so why not do the magic outside on the porch or lawn. You will quickly become the talk of the neighborhood and the most popular house around. And you never know, parents and kids may remember you when their birthday comes around. Make sure to have business card or flyers on hand, or give them a take-home that has your contact information on it. Always sell yourself…it pays off in the long run.
