Thursday, August 4th, 2011

F.A.Q’s

Here are the most frequently asked questions about Brian Daly and his magic skills…

  1. Are you in the magic Circle? I am in the Society of Irish Magicians which is the Irish version of the magic circle and have been a member for over a decade.
  2. How often do you practice? At least a little bit every day, and some days I practice all day.
  3. How often do you learn new magic tricks? Constantly. I’m always putting new numbers into my act and updating my repertoire.
  4. Do you invent your own tricks? Yes, more and more frequently I create my own minor miracles.
  5. Do the tricks ever go wrong? Ha ha yes, a few times yes, I’ve been caught while I was learning to steal peoples watches, but I don’t take it too seriously and I just got on with the show and making sure everyone had a good time.
  6. Where did you learn magic? In prison. Not really, it started in kindergarten, then I got magic sets and books and joined the Society of Irish Magicians and it turned into my full time job from there.
  7. Where are you based and where do you work? I’m based in Dublin but I cover the entire island of Ireland and regularly travel to perform at festivals around the country.
  8. Do you have a rabbit? Actually no, but I do have a mind-reading ferret, yes you read that correctly. His name is Rocky and he’s a bit of a lunatic, does impressions and circus tricks and for the grand finale he reads peoples minds for real, it has to be seen to be believed really.
  9. Do you have a real job? Ha, no not really. If by “real” job you mean working 9-5 in some faceless corporation to make some fat cat in a suit rich, no I don’t have a “real job”. Magic is how I make my living. I am a professional messer.
  10. What’s your best trick? Tricks are like songs, each person has their favourites but it’s hard to say which is best. Personally I like taking people’s watches without them seeing, because if they act up or heckle, I could just keep their watch.

    11. And last but not least, the top question Brian gets asked…

  11. How did you do that? That one will have to go unanswered for now…

    Irish Magicians

    Thursday, August 4th, 2011

    Why you’re in luck if you need an entertainer in Ireland…

    When it comes to all forms of entertainment, Irish people punch above their weight. Whether its music, acting, singing or even comedy, the gift of the gab and a natural ability to entertain plays a massive part in the success of Irish entertainers. For example – U2 – the biggest rock band in the world, are just a few lads from Dublin. And the Hollywood A-list is always full of Irish actors, singers, and performers.

    There’s no denying that Irish performers are in a class of their own, and magicians are no different. Which means you’re in luck because if you book the right Irish magician for an event like a wedding, corporate event, or family day, there’s a good chance you could get yourself a world class entertainer!!

    What kind of events could you hire a magician for? Well you have plenty of options, for example – Wedding receptions, magic workshops, festivals, walk-around table to table and stand-up magic shows. And whether you want a classical, top-hat and tails, rabbit from a hat magician, or someone to do Jedi-mind tricks or anything in between, there are plenty of performers out there for you to choose from. Basically anywhere and everywhere there are groups of people, a good magician can work wonders to break the ice or entertain on stage.

    How do you ensure you get one of the potentially world-class magicians that are based in Ireland? It’s actually a lot easier than most people think to get a world-class magician for a private event or party.

    All you have to do is simply trust good old-fashioned word of mouth. Ask around amongst your friends and family for a magician they have seen or booked and can recommend. If that doesn’t work out you can look online and make sure to look at videos of any performer you might be interested in booking. And even ask if you can see them perform live somewhere.

    To have a chat about your event, give Brian Daly a call today and even if it turns out he’s not exactly what you’re looking for, he’ll help to point you in the right direction and find the perfect performer for you. Brian is based in Dublin but covers the entire island of Ireland and performs at every kind of event and scenario you can possibly imagine.
