When it comes to magic, many people associate the best performers with membership in The Magic Circle. But is being part of this prestigious society the ultimate hallmark of excellence in magic? Let’s explore the world of The Magic Circle, its significance, and why Slightly Unusual stands out as a premier entertainment agency, even beyond formal affiliations.
What is The Magic Circle?
The Magic Circle, founded in 1905, is one of the most renowned magic societies in the world. Its mission is to promote and advance the art of magic, and gaining membership is a significant achievement for any magician. Members must demonstrate exceptional skill and a deep commitment to the craft.
Levels of membership include:
• Member of The Magic Circle (M.M.C.): Awarded to magicians who pass a rigorous application process, including an audition.
• Associate of The Inner Magic Circle (A.I.M.C.): A higher accolade granted to magicians of outstanding skill and contribution to the art.
At Slightly Unusual, we are proud that several of our magicians are members of The Magic Circle. Most notably, our owner, Craig Petty, holds the distinguished title of Associate of The Inner Magic Circle, a testament to his expertise and dedication.
Do You Need to Be in The Magic Circle to Be a Great Magician?
While The Magic Circle is highly respected, being a member is not the only way to prove a magician’s skill. Many world-class magicians have built successful careers without formal membership.
For example:
• Penn & Teller: This legendary duo is not part of The Magic Circle but has revolutionized modern magic with their creativity and showmanship.
• David Blaine: Known for his daring street magic and endurance feats, Blaine’s impact on magic far exceeds any formal accreditation.
• Dynamo: A household name in the UK, Dynamo’s unique style of magic has captivated millions, with no need for Magic Circle membership.
At Slightly Unusual, we focus on results: delivering unforgettable magical experiences for weddings, corporate events, and private parties. Our magicians’ skills, creativity, and professionalism speak louder than any badge or title.
How Does Slightly Unusual Compare?
Unlike individual performers who rely heavily on personal accolades, Slightly Unusual offers a team of diverse talents, including:
• Close-up Magicians: Perfect for mingling with guests at weddings and parties.
• Cabaret Shows: High-energy performances ideal for corporate events.
• Grand Illusion Acts: Larger-than-life shows that leave audiences amazed.
We combine years of experience, unparalleled versatility, and a commitment to tailored entertainment, ensuring every event is magical—literally.
What Should You Look For in a Magician?
When booking a magician, consider these factors:
1. Experience: Have they performed at events like yours before?
2. Engagement: Can they captivate your audience and leave a lasting impression?
3. Variety: Do they offer a range of acts to suit your event style?
4. Reputation: Read testimonials or watch videos of their performances.
At Slightly Unusual, we excel in all these areas. With a roster of seasoned professionals and a proven track record, we deliver magic that resonates with every audience.
