Performances

Performances built around the room

No two events are quite the same, so Rajan adapts what he does to the audience, venue and running order. Here are the three main formats he performs.

Close-Up Magic

Rajan works among the guests, performing close-up magic for small groups at a time. It's a natural fit for drinks receptions, cocktail parties, weddings, networking events, private parties, corporate functions and hospitality events. The format works within the flow of the event, so guests don't need to stop what they're doing and watch all at once. Rajan moves through the room, reading the mood and adapting the material to the people in front of him. It's a combination of sleight of hand, humour, audience interaction and years of experience reading the room.

Works particularly well for

Drinks receptions, cocktail parties, weddings, networking events, private parties, corporate functions, hospitality events

Table Magic

Table magic is designed for seated events. Rajan works around the structure of the evening, performing at individual tables at carefully chosen moments. It suits wedding breakfasts, awards dinners, corporate dinners, gala evenings, private dining and Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations. Each table gets its own performance, and the interaction changes depending on the guests. Rajan performs between courses or at other appropriate moments in the running order, never interrupting people while they eat. Table magic can also help create conversation and energy across a room where guests are seated with people they may not already know well.

Works particularly well for

Wedding breakfasts, awards dinners, corporate dinners, gala evenings, private dining, Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations

Cabaret

Cabaret is the larger shared performance format. It suits awards evenings, corporate dinners, private celebrations, after-dinner entertainment, gala events and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. The performance can take place on a stage or in another appropriate performance area, depending on the venue. The show can combine magic, mind reading, comedy and audience participation. It's a different experience from close-up and table magic because the room is watching together. The show is tailored around the audience, the venue, the event format and the running order. It's never a rigid package.

Works particularly well for

Awards evenings, corporate dinners, private celebrations, after-dinner entertainment, gala events, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs

Mind reading

Rajan weaves mind reading into his broader repertoire. These are moments that feel impossible, built on a lifetime of watching people. It's never about proving anything. It's about creating a moment the room will talk about afterwards.

Tailored, not packaged

Every performance is adapted to the audience, the event and the wishes of the client. Tell Rajan what you have in mind and he'll shape the show around it.

How are you doing that? I've just got to know how you did that!
