Featured Entertainer Illusions By Vick!
Illusions By Vick
Where do you Serve?:
Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and most of Maryland. About Faces was kind enough to get me a special gig in Charlotte, North Carolina last year, if you are interested in entertainment from Illusions by Vick please ask, I travel!
What type of Entertainment do you Provide?:
Unique, Though Provoking and Amazing Magical Experiences. I try to be more than just a magician, when clients hire me they get an entertainer whose chosen medium is magic and illusion. It's a full show with stories, adventures and experiences wrapped around the effects.
Number of years in the business:
11 performing professionally, in the early years I played some of the most challenging venues you could imagine including nightclubs and doing warm up with guests in theaters. You become very good, very quickly or you don't have a job.
How did you get into the entertainment business?
I didn't find magic (or it didn't find me) until I was an adult. I was in Las Vegas at a convention and got sucked in by one of the hawkers (demonstrators) while walking through the mall in the Venetian. Within 3 years I was a hawker, demonstrating and selling magic at tourist spots and large local malls during the Christmas Season. From there I was hired by a mega-plex cinema to do warm up with their guests and everything grew from there. There is nothing like doing the same 5-minute show 25 times a day, 3 days a weekend to shape you and help make you a good performer. Then come up with a new 5-minute show for the next weekend and do that for 3 years.
What's your favorite type of event? The one I just finished and the next one I am about to perform. Actually I like them all. I lean a little more to adult or all age events, believe it or not I get a lot of requests to perform for proms or the prom after parties. Also I perform as Professor Snape about 12 times a year and that's always a lot of fun. I'm expected to be a surly, nasty and generally foul person and audiences eat it up. What's your most memorable event? The one you are getting ready to book me for ;-) . Sorry I had to do it. There is something special with every audience and every audience touches me in some way. It might sound corny or unbelievable but it's the way I am and what I think allows me to go out and want to give the best possible show every single time. This is the end of the interview, thank you for reading it. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me through About Faces Entertainment.
