Corporate Magic in Auckland

Entertainment that breaks the ice, gets guests talking and gives people something to remember — built around your function rather than interrupting it.

Make your next corporate event one people remember

Most corporate functions succeed or fail on whether the room warms up. Magic performed among your guests does that work quickly: it breaks the ice, encourages conversation, engages people who have arrived on their own, and entertains during the networking part of the evening when nothing else is happening.

Alan has spent more than three decades working with event organisers, marketing managers, conference planners and venues in Auckland and beyond, adding entertainment to conferences, awards evenings, product launches, client events and company celebrations.

What it adds to your event

  • Breaks the ice between guests who don’t know each other
  • Encourages conversation and keeps groups mingling
  • Entertains guests during arrival, drinks and networking
  • Creates memorable moments people talk about afterwards
  • Fits around your running order, no stage or changeover required

WHAT CORPORATE CLIENTS SAY

“Alan Watson is the first magician from New Zealand to appear in our Close-Up Gallery. He delighted our audiences with his unique technical skills. They are at once astonished and well pleased, a rare combination for any professional to master. His act is of the highest quality and he is one of the finest talents to appear at the Magic Castle in a long time. We look forward to booking Alan Watson whenever he is in the area.”
William LarsenPresident, The Magic Castle, Hollywood
“I have watched Alan perform his close-up magic on many occasions and have never ceased to wonder at his excellent techniques and ability to entertain simultaneously. Alan's showmanship and personality are unique. The enjoyment I receive, as I watch the bewilderment and complete mystification on the faces of my guests, is tremendous. His act also has the ability to break the ice, often becoming the focal point of the conversation for some considerable time afterwards. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alan as a highly talented, entertaining and professional performer.”
C. ParkinsonManaging Director, Radio Pacific, Waikato
“I would like to express my thanks to you for the two performances of strolling magic you carried out here at the Travelodge. Both occasions were very successful with many of our guests commenting on your flair and talent. I was especially pleased with the atmosphere you created in our outlets as you wandered from venue to venue. It certainly added a touch of sparkle and wonderment to our guests' evening, and many of our regulars are still commenting upon it.”
Neil PatersonFood & Beverage Manager, St Kilda Road Travelodge, Australia
“Dear Alan, Just a note to thank you very much indeed for a very professional and highly entertaining performance you put on at Contact 91 on Wednesday. We received numerous compliments regarding your show throughout the evening which certainly created a lot of interest, and I know that your contribution played a big part in the Auckland Parkroyal winning the Best Booth prize at the end of the exhibition. Alan, thanks again and I look forward to watching you impress our guests at future Parkroyal functions.”
Norman ArundelGeneral Manager, Parkroyal Auckland, Southern Pacific Hotels
“Your ability to work our company name and services we offered into your magic while keeping the crowd's attention was great. I appreciate the preparation and interest taken in our company to achieve this. During the four day show there were many times when the walkways were blocked with curious onlookers giving us time to distribute brochures and cards to the interested public. Our expectations were greatly exceeded and I look forward to dealing with you in the future.”
Stuart HelmAutoKool, Autokool Holdings Limited (Hamilton)
“Dear Alan, What a great performance you put on last night at the Variety Artists Club. I was totally mesmerized along with the entire audience. I can see why you are so well respected by your international peers and considered a Master of Magic. My lips are not sealed when I say.... "In my eyes you are New Zealand's greatest magician.”
