THE IMPOSSIBLE RECEPTION

Corporate Close-Up Magic That Gets People Talking

The room is filling up. Drinks are out, name badges are on, and the conversations are still finding their footing.

That’s when something impossible happens about three feet away.

Warren Thackeray performs close-up magic and mentalism for your guests where they’re already standing. There’s no stage to find and no announcement to make. He works with a group of four or five, then moves on to the next one.

Something for people to talk about

Corporate events run on connection, and most of them leave guests to manufacture it themselves. Interactive entertainment hands them the opening.

Someone thinks of a name they haven’t said out loud and hears it read back to them. A sealed prediction written before the event turns out to be right. A borrowed wedding ring ends up somewhere it has no business being. Half a minute later, the people who saw it are pulling over the people who didn’t.

Guests hold the cards, think of the words, and end up in the middle of the thing they’re watching. That tends to travel further than a performance they watched from across a room.

Where it fits

The Impossible Reception works particularly well at cocktail receptions, networking events, executive dinners, client appreciation evenings, holiday parties, award dinners and conference receptions.

Entertainment that works around your schedule

Close-up work bends to the shape of an event instead of interrupting it. Guests can watch for two minutes on their way past or stay for fifteen. Warren reads the room and adjusts, which matters most during the parts of an evening when everyone is on their feet and meeting each other for the first time.

No microphone, no stage, nothing to load in. Just impossible moments happening at arm’s length while your event carries on around them.

For companies booking corporate entertainment in San Francisco or anywhere in the Bay Area, it’s an easy piece to drop into a run sheet that’s already full.

Bring impossible moments to your event

Tell Warren the date, the venue and roughly how many guests you’re expecting, and he’ll come back with what would work.
