General information about Sean's services is detailed below. |
The Psychological Illusion ShowThe psychological illusion show is based on Sean's experience creating illusions with nothing but pure psychology and showmanship. Where most magic or illusion shows feature "physical" illusions (such as sawing someone in half, making someone disappear from a box, etc), in this show the audience experiences the illusions in their own minds. Sean uses a mixture of psychological techniques and traditional illusion principles to demonstrate abilities such as photographic memory, mind reading, and predicting the future. There are no suspicious-looking boxes, scantily clad assistants, or trick props. Sean takes the stage with no apparatus and nothing to hide, and demonstrates to the audience the ability of their own minds to create stunning illusions. The psychological illusion show offers a number of benefits:
Live video footage of this show, as well as an interactive demonstration of one of the psychological techniques Sean uses during the performance, can be viewed in the Media section |
Strolling MagicThis type of performance is designed for events of a social nature, such as cocktail parties, wedding receptions, corporate functions, etc. It involves Sean moving from group to group, mingling with guests and presenting a small, individualized, and highly interactive performance for each group he introduces himself to. There are a number of benefits to this style of performance:
Sean is continually refining and perfecting his repertoire of close-up illusions, however a brief video example of his early work in this area can be seen in the Media section, as well as a number of informal photos of Sean performing strolling magic at various events. |
ConsiderationsSean is highly adaptable as a performer, however he has certain criteria he follows in order to make sure that his performances run as smoothly as possible. Potential clients should keep the following considerations in mind: Sean does not perform children's entertainment: although his performance style is 100% clean and unoffensive, it will be most relevant and entertaining to audiences no younger than junior high school students. Sean is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but is available to travel. If you are located outside of the Twin Cities and considering hiring Sean for an event in your area, please keep in mind that depending on travel distance and other factors, Sean will have to take into account his increased time involvement and travel expenses when quoting you a fee. Because of Sean's busy schedule, he is sometimes unable to work with clients due to previous engagements. If you are interested in Sean's services, please contact him well in advance of the date you would like to reserve, as he is unable to guarantee his availability.
