An Evening with Harry Robson – Commercial Magic That Works
Hull Magicians’ Circle is delighted to welcome Harry Robson for an evening of practical, entertaining and highly commercial magic.
Harry is known throughout the magic community for material that has been developed with real-world performance firmly in mind. His routines are designed to be workable, achievable and entertaining, whether you are performing close-up at a wedding, moving between tables at a corporate event or presenting magic in a more intimate parlour setting.
Rather than relying on unnecessarily complicated techniques, Harry places the emphasis on strong effects, entertaining presentation and getting great reactions from real audiences. In an interview discussing his approach to professional magic, Harry explains that material for genuine working environments can be very different from magic created purely for conventions or magic clubs.
Throughout the evening, Harry will share a selection of routines and ideas from his working repertoire, with material suitable for performers of different abilities. While the methods are deliberately accessible, that certainly doesn't mean the magic lacks impact – expect some genuine WOW moments along the way.
The lecture will explore:
Strong and practical commercial magic
Material suitable for weddings and corporate events
Close-up and parlour magic
Simple methods with powerful outcomes
Routining and presentation
Approaching and entertaining real audiences
Making your magic more practical for paid performances
Tips developed through decades of professional experience
Previous magic-club appearances have praised Harry not only for his strong commercial effects, but also for his humour, routining and timing.
Whether you're an experienced working magician or simply looking for strong magic that you can actually perform, this promises to be an entertaining and highly practical evening.
