MAX SOMERSET - PARTIES, EXHIBITIONS AND AWARD CEREMONIES

‘We loved the fact that having Maximilian the Unusualist at our exhibition gave us something other than a standard magician who does card tricks, he didn’t tell the guests he was a magician and made the unusual happen with seemingly everyday objects, the subtlety of it all seemed to compliment the fun social nature of the viewing.’

Max has had a decade of great success performing magic and unusualism at Industry parties including Lord of the Rings Premier Party (2001 at Tobacco Dock), Vanilla Sky premier (2001 in the Grovesnor)) with Tom Cruise BPI Events such as the Brit Awards After Show (Earls Court) and BAFTA awards, Yacht Parties in Entebbe in the south of France as well as performing on stage at the BAFTA ‘Me and My Movie Festival’ on the South Bank London. He has also performed close up magic and mind magic for innumerable private champagne receptions and parties at member’s clubs and peoples homes around the world.

Nobody wants someone at a high profile function coming up to him or her, interrupting a conversation saying, “pick a card any card.”

The reason why Max’s sleight of hand and unusual mind magic has been so well received is because HE RARELY DOES CARD TRICKS! People want to see something a little different. Nobody wants someone at a high profile function coming up to him or her, interrupting a conversation saying, “pick a card any card.” Over many years Max has learned the secret of being a professional party guest and keeping that cringe factor out of his magic. He will blend in to the party, get chatting, get to know the guests and then before they know it, “Excuse me, I couldn’t help noticing that interesting ring you were wearing…I have a high quality neoprene wool that would bring that up as good as new, in fact, I happen to have some with me.” Without any awkward introductions the ring has now vanished in flames and has reappeared on Max’s TIED SHOE LACE, the guests find the magic just happening to them without Max ever having to them that he is a magician and now they want to see more.

Allowing the unusual to unfold

Everybody loves to see magic but nobody wants it forced on them. Max’s whole psychological approach in allowing the unusual to unfold without ever initially announcing the fact that he is a magician has been a very successful formula in high profile parties from Art Gallery Exhibition; Yacht Parties; TV award ceremonies; Fashion events and birthday celebrations. Having been a close up magician in London; a close up Magician in Paris; a close up Magician in New York and a Close up Magician in the Caribbean Harbour Clubs, he has transcended language barriers and cultural barriers all over the world having left an impact everywhere he goes.
