Frequently asked questions
All about a trade show magician.
Answers to the questions stand managers and marketers ask most.
What does a trade show magician actually do?
A trade show magician makes visitors stop at your stand sooner and start a conversation with your team more easily. With interactive close-up magic, Kariem Ahmed creates striking moments that draw attention immediately, without feeling pushy.
Your product, service, brand name or trade show message can be built into the act. That way the entertainment is not just fun to watch, it also keeps your brand top of mind.
How does a magician help with lead generation?
Instead of your team approaching cold passers-by, there is first a striking and relaxed moment of interaction. That makes your brand more memorable and opens the door to a conversation with your sales team.
The goal is not only to entertain, but above all to create more qualified conversations, so prospects stay longer and are more willing to leave their details.
Is a trade show magician suitable for B2B companies?
Yes, it works especially well for B2B. At business trade shows visitors walk past dozens of stands, so standing out in a natural way is hard. It works well for software, technical companies, finance, real estate, automotive, consultancy, business services and luxury brands.
Can the act be tailored to our house style and message?
Yes. Your logo, slogan, key message or product benefits can be built into the presentation, and the style can be business-like, energetic, luxurious or informal, depending on your audience.
How long does a trade show act last?
The act is usually used in blocks spread over the day, at busy visitor moments or during breaks and drinks. The total can range from half a day to one or several full trade show days.
Does the act need much space, sound or equipment?
No. Kariem works with interactive close-up magic on and around your stand, without a stage, sound system or complex set-up. That makes it suitable for smaller stands too.
Does a trade show magician disturb sales conversations?
No. Kariem senses when visitors are open to interaction and when your team is already in a conversation. The act bridges attracting attention and a good sales conversation.
In which languages does Kariem perform?
In English and Dutch, so international visitors can be involved just as easily.
How early should I book a trade show magician?
Preferably at least 4 to 6 weeks before your trade show. Last-minute requests are always welcome: if the date is still available, things can often move quickly.
What does a trade show magician cost?
Rates start from €2,500 excl. VAT. The final price depends on the duration, the number of half days or trade show days, the location and the amount of customisation.
