Twenty years in. Thousands of shows. Mostly corporate Amsterdam — RAI congresses, Zuidas dinners, museum receptions, canal boats.
Thought I'd share what actually works, since I see a lot of debate about corporate gigs in here.
The entrance matters less than people think. I walk in quiet, find the most skeptical person at the table, start there. When they react — genuinely, not politely — the whole room shifts. That's your in.
I work purely close-up. Their watches, rings, business cards. No setup, no sound check, nothing to carry in. I'm working within two minutes of arriving.
Organizers always say the same thing afterward — the conversations the magic started lasted longer than the tricks themselves. Honestly that's the metric I care about most now.
Table magic just fits corporate formats cleanly. No stage, flexible timing, scales to any group.
