What's Being Said about Illusions By Vick "I have never heard so many positive comments about the entertainment chosen for our annual cub scout Blue/Gold dinner as this year when Vick performed for 100 or more wide eyed scouts. Both kids and parents were amazed by the magic! In addition, we were all impressed by the way Vick incorporated scouting values and the 100th Birthday of scouting into the program. I would highly recommend this Magician for any event." Pam Johnson Pack 688 |
Illusions by Vick  would like to say Congratulations on 100 Years of Scouting!  |
Thank you for considering Illusions by Vick
For Your Blue and Gold Banquet Entertainment
I was a Cub Scout 40 years ago
and sincerely enjoying performing for Blue and Gold Banquets
I know how important and special a Blue and Gold Banquet is
My show may be a little different from typical magic shows.
Am definitely not your average rabbit out of a hat type magician.
I don't believe in playing "down" to a younger audience,
instead I strive to stimulate the mind and spark imaginations while entertaining.
Creating a world of unique, thought provoking and enchanting entertainment
with twists of laughter and willing audience participation
The performance is crafted to entertain in the moment,
creating fun and astonishment and to share something
that encourages thought in the days ahead
and makes the great memories guests take with them.
For Blue and Gold Banquets I perform a 45 minute stage/parlor show
(which can be expanded or shortened
if need be depending on the Pack's plans).
Some of the pieces performed are tailored to the banquet,
for example the dinner piece becomes the Blue and Gold dinner
(video is on this page http://www.illusionsbyvick.com/video.html ).
Show Content -
Your show will feature but is not limited to
Original Illusions that are unique to Illusions by Vick
"The Blue and Gold Dinner", "Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "Through the Looking Glass"
as well as engaging classics of magic such as feats of mentalism
vanishes and productions including objects to impossible locations, cups and balls,
linking rings, bottle and glass transpositions, illusions with large cards and
a few surprises. All presented to inspire astonishment, positive thought process
including a helping of humor and willing audience participation.
Themes & Characters-
Illusions by Vick usually suggests performing as a well attired illusionist
in a classic tuxedo (classy and elegant but not stuffy or outdated)
If you've seen the movie "The Illusionist"
please think along the line of the character Eisenheim
Your performance will be with a real Illusionist.
If your Blue and Gold Banquet has a special theme
We can integrate elements of your theme into the performance
Illusions by Vick is also available as the following characters at no extra charge
Professor Snape (from the Harry Potter stories),
the Mad Hatter, a Wizard, wondering conjurer,
a Pirate, Edgar Allen Poe,
early 20th century magician or Willie Wonka.
If you have a different character in mind
please call or email and we will see what can be done.
Fees and Payment -
The investment for the Illusions by Vick 45 minute stage/parlor show is $350,
however being a former Cub Scout
(and knowing some Blue and Gold Banquets are on a budget)
There is a $100 discount for all Blue and Gold Banquets
bringing the total fee to $250.
That is all inclusive and there are no extra charges
Please always feel free to call 443-540-9631 or email Shows@illusionsbyvick.com
with any questions, requests or if I can be of any assistance with your Blue and Gold Banquet
After we speak via email or telephone
and go over the details of your banquet
If you like you can reserve your date and time with a $100 deposit.
I can accept payments via Pay Pal or postal mail.
After the deposit is received a performance agreement is sent via email within 24 hours.
If due to the needs or structure of the event a performance agreement
is needed prior to the deposit being sent
please let me know and that can be arranged.
Also a confirmation email is sent a week prior to the performance
Technical Requirements -
Illusions by Vick is a self contained show and we provide all our own equipment
We can present our show with just access to an electrical outlet
We provide our own P.A. system
and all equipment associated with our show
We can perform from a raised stage
or if better for the facility we can perform
on the floor with the guests
Access to the performance area will be needed 45 minutes before the start of the show
For loading in and set up
Additional Notes-
Schedule and time permitting I make myself available for
a brief (10 to 30 minutes) question and answer period after the show
Often due to the schedule of the banquet there isn't time to
do a question and answer session but if scheduling allows we will.
This is included as part of the show.
At Blue and Gold Banquets Illusions by Vick does not have any items for sale.
I don't feel it is proper to try to make additional revenue
selling anything to scouts or their families at Blue and Gold Banquets
Blue and Gold Banquets are some of my favorite shows every year.
To help celebrate the Pack's success and achievements
of the past year and look forward to the new year
is a great honor and privilege.
