Hiring a magician in Orlando Florida

If you are interested in hiring a magician in Orlando Florida, then you should know that there are many ways that you can go about it. 
Many of the professional performers and entertainers work with high end clients, including theme parks and they do so on a regular basis. Keep that in mind when you plan ahead. 
With Orlando being one of the highest traffic entertainment capitals of the world, it is super important that you search for your magician early, and decide on a budget. To put it bluntly, you will not be able to procure a professional magician that is guaranteed to entertain, for less than $250. Or with less than 3 weeks notice. It simply does not happen here. Key words are "professional" and "guaranteed".
If its no big deal who you get and you're not concerned with who you're inviting into your home, then this article isn't for you. Hell, hire a clown, you might be better off. 
There are, however, a large group of party planners that are only interested in the "great" and above category, which you will find plenty of in Orlando and even Tampa, but the key is to book early. 
The moment that you know the date and time of your event is the moment you should start your search. 
Once you have selected your prospects, check out their videos, pick the ones you like most and check their availability immediately. Checking someone's availability is no promise to buy, but it's good to get that out of the way first, while gathering more info on their price range. 
Next step to booking yourself a master prestidigitator, is to figure out your budget, and get the best your money can buy. Like most purchases, the magicians price is also a direct reflection of quality. 
There simply are no professional magicians in the $100. Ball park, so get that out of your head. 
If you've only got a small budget, you just might be better off to save your money or use it as a deposit for next years event. Many magicians will book events 6 months to a year in advance. 
Finally, don't be discouraged, go forth excited to find the right performer for your important event. Check out www.thoughtseer.com to set up your custom show easily and quickly.

When hiring a magician...

When you want to hire a magician, most likely you are stressed because you are this years event planner, and you want the party to be smashing, right? Last year's party was good, but you want this year's party to be great! 

If you would like to hire a magician, then do yourself a favor and do these few things:

* Ask or search for testimonials
* Compare a few magicians, not just their sites.
* Decide on a budget or price range

If the magician is good, testimonials will be easy to find, and you won't even have to ask. Customers and guests are usually happy to rave about how the magician was the life of their party... unless he was not.

There are several magicians in every major city, some are pros- meaning that is all that they do for a living; some are actually just hobbyists and comparatively are not as sharp or entertaining, and not to mention worth it.

Decide on a budget before you make your final decision on entertainment. Hiring "the life of the party" is often a more expensive job than the bounce house or the catering. Put things in perspective. A great magician can make the kids forget about the bounce house, and the adults forget about eating, all at the same time.

Good luck with your event, and check out this quick video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfS-Eqtfs6E
