About
Aiden Schofield is a magician for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Mind reading, sleight of hand and a room full of people who can't work out how. Aiden Schofield's stage show mixes magic and mentalism with heavy audience participation, and it's taken him around Australia to corporate events and private functions alike. The show runs about 25 to 30 minutes as standard but can stretch anywhere from 10 to 45 to suit your schedule. It's a stage act rather than roving close up magic, so it works best as a scheduled centrepiece, and Aiden brings a microphone and speaker if the venue has no sound gear. Brisbane based, with public liability insurance.
Watch
The show
It's a stage show, and it's loud in the good sense. Aiden works mind reading and sleight of hand into a single high energy set, and the audience isn't off the hook: people get pulled in throughout, whether it's a room of 40 at a private function or a corporate crowd of several hundred. One thing worth knowing before you book. He doesn't do close up or roving magic, the kind where a performer moves table to table. This is a scheduled show that everyone watches at once.
On the day
The show wants a stage of at least 4.5 by 3.5 metres, with stairs up to it. If your audience is 75 or fewer, staging is optional and he can work at floor level. No sound gear at the venue isn't a problem, because he'll bring a microphone and speaker. Give him 30 to 60 minutes before the show starts to set up and check the sound, and build that into your run sheet rather than leaving it to chance.
Performance options
One show, shaped to your night. The feature stage set is packed with audience participation, mind reading and sleight of hand, and it's the same material he's toured around the country. Standard running time is roughly 25 to 30 minutes, but it stretches or shrinks to fit, anywhere from a quick ten minute spot to a full 45. Small function room or a big corporate ballroom, the show gets adjusted to the space rather than dropped in unchanged. Close up and roving magic aren't offered.
