What is a Magic Consultant?
Magic consultant for TV, Movies and Theatre. A magic consultant is an advisor to writer’s producers, sometimes authors, or people working in theatre productions to advise them on how to accomplish certain magical feats of wonder to elevate their show book, or performance.
So what does the process look like?
Well, as a professional magician, mind reader, and digital magician, Duncan believes that every good magic consultancy starts with a conversation. This is to see if he is a good fit for you and it’s actually achievable. There are some consultants out there who will try and tailor the outcome to their limited sometimes requirements and abilities. But Duncan believes that if he can’t achieve your goal, he will be honest enough to say so. But it all starts with a conversation. And essentially, that involves questions, to help him understand more about what you need, and how he can achieve it.
Then we move into the conceptualization phase, Duncan will share some of his thoughts and ideas of what is possible and what isn’t possible and work with you all the way to the completion of your goal to help you turn your vision into reality.
Magic Consultancy is a Process.
Duncan sees any form of his magic consultancy for TV, theatre or movies as a process. It’s very dependent on a 2-way collaboration, not only from himself and you, but your wider team of stage hands, producers, authors, writers. Alongside that he works with his own team that he engages with, on consultancy projects like these.
Magic consultancy isn’t just about the magic.
It’s about the show the context, and everything that sits around it.
