1. Stop them
I work at the edge of your booth where the aisle traffic is. Close-up magic in somebody's hands stops the people walking past, and then it stops the people watching those people.
Trade Show Magician
I stop the people walking past your booth, hold them there, and hand them to your sales team warm.
The Real Problem At A Trade Show
You paid for the space. The hard part is getting anybody to stop.
Attendees walk the aisles avoiding eye contact, because every booth wants something from them. Bowls of candy do not fix that. Neither does a bigger banner. What stops somebody is watching something happen that they cannot explain.
2. Hold them
A few minutes with a small group, then the next few. Long enough that they are standing inside your space rather than passing it, and relaxed rather than braced for a pitch.
3. Hand them over
I finish and your team takes it from there, talking to somebody who is smiling instead of somebody trying to get away. I can work your product or your message into the routine if you want.
A Client Describing It Better Than I Can
This is exactly how a booth day works
“Carroll recently performed at our trade show, entertaining small groups a few individuals at a time. He is a wonderful entertainer and his magic was fascinating! I heard nothing but wonderful comments from attendees. At the end of our event he performed one last magic act for the entire group that was absolutely amazing!”
Susan S.Trade show exhibitor
Worth Knowing
What a booth day actually involves
- I need almost nothing. No stage, no power, no set-up time. I work standing up in whatever space you have.
- I am on my feet, not on a break. Booth work is continuous and I pace it so I am still sharp at four in the afternoon.
- Your message, not mine. Your product or tagline can be built into a routine so the thing they remember has your name attached.
- A closing set if you want one. A short piece for the whole group at the end of the day, which several clients have used to hold a crowd for a prize draw.
- Multi-day and multi-city. If you run a circuit, one booking across your year is easier for both of us than starting from scratch each time.
“Carroll was an amazing entertainer. He kept everyone captivated by combining his magic and humor, with audience participation for an event we will always remember.”
Jane LeeThe Ohio Society of CPAs
“Carroll has been fantastic as a performer for our business events, trade shows, hospitality suites, and several of our private parties. His wit and abilities are unmatched. Thank you for once again exceeding expectations.”
