What is Strolling Walk Around Magic?
Strolling Magician or walk around magician is when your guests experience magic up close. Picture this: you're at a cocktail hour, corporate event, and instead of waiting for a show, magic happens right where you're standing — from mind-reading to cards appearing and coins vanishing right in front of you! That’s strolling magic, and it’s perfect for weddings, corporate events and private parties.
How Does Strolling Magic Work?
A magician will work the room, moving from group to group, performing tricks for groups like 2 to 10+ guests at a time—even surrounded. The best event entertainers have this sixth sense for knowing which groups are ready for magic and which might be deep in business chats (because no one wants to interrupt that intense "vibe", right?). A pro magician will know when to engage and when to back off, when ready they'll blend into the shadows and vanish, leaving guests amazed and wanting more.
Does Strolling Magic Involve Setup?
One of the questions I get all the time as a corporate strolling magician and mentalist in NYC is, “Do you need a setup?” Nope! Strolling magic is incredibly flexible and works just about anywhere. No stage, no big props, just magic happening right in your guests' hands. Chat with your magician either way as everyone is different. While strolling magic can happen almost anywhere, it’s probably not ideal during dinner (no one wants their food going cold while they’re picking their jaw up off the floor). Just make sure your magician has a clear idea of the event schedule.
