Welcome to John Godwin - Magician and stand up comic |
What can John offer?
John Godwin Cannot remember a time
when he did not have an active interest in
magic and being an inquisitive child to
becoming one of the select number of
Magicians who have been rewarded with a
Silver Star on becoming members of the
prestigious INNER MAGIC CIRCLE.
John prides him self on his personal
presentation, unique style of magic and has
developed a well polished and highly entertaining
act incorporating a blend of magic and humour!
Not for him the magic of ground illusion seen
only at a distance, indeed John strives to perform
as close as possible to his audience, using
every day objects to create his deceptions!
With fingers prepared for crime, but dedicated to his art,
the impossible is made possible, and the
possible is made entertaining!Close-Up Magic for your Corporate Function
Close-up Magic either during the meal to entertain your guests or upon arrival
at the drinks reception, is the only form of entertainment that requires no
static stage. This ensures the Magic can be shown personally to a few at any
one time.
Close-up means exactly what it says, magic so close you can hardly believe your
eyes. Paul Daniels and other Magicians have brought magic into our homes, but
even the zoom lens of the camera cannot replace the thrill of the experiencing
this unique form of entertainment LIVE.
Only a few people will have been so close to a professional magician before
and the experience will be a memorable one!
Bar, Restaurant or Party Magic
John appreciates that few bar or dinning areas can accommodate most cabaret
acts and bearing this in mind has developed an act which is completely self-contained,
requires no specific performing area and can be performed indoors or out
..
for a few people or a crowed
Johns unique style of magic encourages audience participation he
thrives on the unusual remark or unexpected happing!
Make no mistake; this is not a stand-up comedian using props to get laughs,
but a genuine magical artiste who makes his audiences laugh with amazement!
When john performs, the closer you watch the less you see! You hold the items
in your hands but still they vanish, re-appear, change colour
. It is
impossible
. Yet it happens! Leaving you believing that the impossible
may be possible.
"I stroll your restaurant / bar performing my skills under the watchful
eye of your customers, inviting them to catch me (this does not mean I run from
one side of your premises to the other expecting then to chase me) but I will
leave them asking themselves, could this really be magic ?"
JOHN GODWIN A.I.M.C.
BUSINESS MAGIC
Astute businessmen have for many years engaged the services of professional
entertainers to assist them in promoting their company's products or services.
The relationship has not always been a happy one!
Entertainers sometimes carry inflated egos and all to easily forget that, for
once, they are not selling themselves!
It is true to say that few forms of entertainment can be visually related to
the associated product. Magic can - and John is prepared to take the time and
trouble to make that relationship work. So how does he go about this?
FIRST JOHN WILL ACQUAINT HIMSELF WITH THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE, THE RANGE AND
CAPABILITIES, ETC.
JOHN CAN ADAPT AND VARY HIS OWN EFFECTS TO INCORPORATE YOUR COMPANY LOGO, PRODUCT
NAME OR EVEN THE PRODUCT ITSELF IF APPLICABLE.
IN ENTERTAINING FOR BUSINESS, JOHN SEES HIMSELF AS PART OF A TEAM. HE APPRECIATES
THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING HIS ROLE WITHIN THAT TEAM.
EXHIBITIONS
The trick, of course, is to attract prospective customers to your stand. You
can use pretty girls, loud music etc, but why not be different?
John's magic is fast, fun and has true stopping power! Let John magically distribute
your give always and draw crowds to your stand. His always amusing, and sometimes
cheeky, chatter coupled with magical dexterity will make them laugh and gasp
in amazement and they will forget their aching feet.
Alternatively, John will be equally at home entertaining your VIP guests in
your hospitality suite. John will mingle with your guests and will amuse and
amaze them with his magical antics!
PRODUCT LAUNCH
Are you looking for original ways to introduce or endorse a product or service?
Let JOHN GODWIN assist. Few forms of entertainment are as flexible as Magic
- and few performers are effective as a Magician. Having performed on boats,
planes and under canvas, he are game for anything!
What ever your requirements, John will tailor an act accordingly. and you will
indeed be offering something different in order to attract Customers - LAUGHTER
- the greatest sales person of all!
