Adult Corporate Entertainment: Book a Brisbane Magician Directly or Through Entertainment Agencies

In many cities such as Brisbane there are a variety of ways that entertainment can be booked. All have their pros and cons and this article will explain what these are and what to look out for when booking your corporate entertainment for adult clients in Brisbane.

Booking a magician directly is probably the best way to get the best entertainment for your type of event. The magician knows their act better than any agent does. They will be able to tell you what will work for the number of guests that are attending, how long you will need to book your magician for and any extras that they think will work that you haven’t thought of.  You will get the magician at the cost price without any extra money tacked on for any agents fees. You will also be aware of how good the magician is through the fee that they charge although this is not always a hard and fast rule. The downside is that your magician could possibly take ill and leave you with no one to fill in. This, however, would be extremely rare. Magicians know other magicians and other performers. A professional magician would rather turn up to the event in high fever rather than let their client down.

Booking through Brisbane entertainment agencies also has it’s advantages. This is popular with companies that are booking several acts at a time and need someone to organise the entertainment for them in one big package. The agent has footage and photos of a large variety of performers and usually hires out the performers that they often use. If any of the performers are ill the agent will find it easier to replace that act as they have contacts for hundreds of acts.

The downside to hiring through Brisbane entertainment agencies is that a few entertainment agents have never seen the act or Magician that they are representing. The act may be misinterpreted to the agent, which in turn gives the client the wrong information. The client may end up with an act that is totally unsuitable for the type of venue or demographic of clients. At times, especially at Christmas where Entertainment is highly sought after, a Brisbane entertainment agency may use Brisbane magicians or other acts that may not be appropriate due to the fact that every other act is booked and they may be seeking the commission.  Some entertainment agencies also add on an extremely high commission rate. Sometimes as much as double the magicians fee! The client wants to get in a good act at , say $2000, and the entertainment agent will find a show worth $1000 and pocket the rest.
 Please don’t be put off by entertainment agencies in Brisbane. Most are extremely professional and know their acts. If you do book through a Brisbane entertainment agent it is best to make sure that the agency in question has been around for a while and has a good reputation.
