What Is Parlour Magic?
What is Parlour Magic?
Parlour magic is an intimate magic show for a small group of people.
It originated in the 19th Century, when magicians were invited into homes to provide private seating for a small audience. These intimate magic shows were popular mostly among the rich and nobles back in those days. They would book a magician to perform a parlour magic show to entertain their guests or children.
Other people would only get to see a magician perform in a theatre or perhaps in the street.
Nowadays, it is not unusual to have a magician perform a show in a private residence or small venue, during parties and other social events.
Three Types Of Parlour Magic Shows To Choose From
Parlour Magic Shows For Any Occasion!
What is Parlour Magic?
Parlor magic is a magic show for more people than close-up magic but for fewer people than a stage show. These kinds of shows come at a predetermined duration. Typically there is no stage and the magician usually stands at floor level. This means that smaller and less elaborate props are used during the show. It allows the performance to happen closer to the audience than if the magician performs on a stage. This makes it a great choice for entertainment for adults, children, and family events.
Where Can Such A Magic Show Happen?
Parlour magic shows can happen in a living room, a small hall, or a medium-sized room in other venues. Usually, the magic is performed waist up, allowing a better view for a small group of people. This kind of show does not incorporate the more elaborate stage props and illusions, so it is not usually ideal for a large audience. This makes it a great choice to entertain a small group of people at home or in a small venue. With the set duration, people can sit down and enjoy the experience together. Besides that, Parlour Magic involves a lot of audience participation.

What is Parlour Magic suitable for?

Do clients need to prepare anything before the show?
Brian brings all the equipment to carry out the show. Preferably the performance area is perfect in front of a backdrop or wall, with the audience in front of Brian. The audience can also sit in a semi-circle fashion, from side to side in Brian’s performance area. An electricity outlet close by is also. Keep these in mind and prepare a small table or chair nearby in case it is needed.
Where can you put on a Parlour Magic show?
The setup, kind of magic, and presentation during these types of shows make it perfect for residences and small venues. This type of magic is made for such intimate settings. However, you can set up this kind of show in almost any environment such as a sitting room, small hall, courtyard, or garden.
What is the duration of the show?
The duration of such shows is in the range of between thirty minutes to one hour. One-hour shows are usually suitable for varying age family audiences.
Does the magician need a stage?
There is no need for a stage for a parlor magic performance for audiences of 40 people or less. For a slightly larger audience, a platform to increase visibility is always welcome but not necessary. Since all the magic happening is performed waist up, everyone is able to see.
How far must the audience be from the magician?
In most cases, the audience can be close, providing the magician has enough space to perform well. The audience should be seated facing the magician, who is against a background to avoid distractions. Ideally, there should be enough space for some props too. Space between the audience and the magician allows volunteers to move freely when asked to help the magician.
Does the show have to take place indoors?
Under certain conditions, Parlor Magic may be good in an outdoor environment. Such suitable outdoor places are gardens, yards, and similar places where a small gathering of people are able to sit comfortably to watch a set duration show. Weather conditions such as rain or wind may hinder the performance outdoors.
