If you want your guests to laugh, be amazed, and thank you for providing an experience that they won't ever forget then this might be the most important letter you'll ever read. Here's why…

 

Dear Friend,

What do top companies and top celebrities have in common? They've all seen me work and they keep coming back for more.

My name is Zach Waldman and I'm a professional comedian and magician. When you think of magic, you may think of a clown or a child's birthday party. After witnessing a professional sleight of hand artist, your opinion will be forever changed. This is intimate entertainment suitable for all events.

I can help make your function unforgettable.

The Shows:

Strolling close-up magic is something that the people attending your events will talk about for a long time. Instead of a bunch of boxes that look rigged, spectators get to see magic with objects like coins and cards. The show happens up close and personal so everybody gets involved. The magic happens right in their hands! This is sophisticated sleight of hand, not kiddy magic. It's incredibly powerful and very intimate. Everything I use fits in my pockets and doesn't take up any extra room. This doesn't require a stage, a sound system, a table, or anything else. Just me, my hands, and the stuff in my pockets.

The comedy magic stage show doesn't require a big stage, but the results are huge. This show can be done for an audience of 50-1,000 people. I utilize a ton of audience participation, lots of humor, and great magic.

I can also customize this show to your needs. You supply me with information and I use it to construct jokes just for you. This is incredibly powerful. The reason this type of comedy has such a huge impact is the "inside joke" principle.

For instance, if you tell me that your friend eats the same thing for lunch every day, I can write a joke about that. Customization can also include anecdotes that you'd like me to share, or even special props.

(If you like, I can mail the demo to you on DVD)

Birthday Parties:

Make the special person in your life feel like a star on his or her birthday. I have magic specifically geared for birthday celebrations.

All of your guests will be laughing and will be amazed at what they see (instead of sitting around bored).

You'll be relaxed and happy that everybody is having fun (don't get stressed out and anxious trying to please people, let me do the work so you can enjoy yourself).

People will remember this party. Long after the food is gone your guests will still be talking about the incredible entertainment you had.

Wedding Receptions:

Everything almost always runs late at weddings. While you're trying to taking pictures, your guests are getting hungry. Let me placate them with some close up magic.

Why be plain and just have drinks and appetizers during the cocktail hour? You can easily make that time special with magic.

Spotlight the bride and groom with a special trick during the reception that will forever be held in their memories.

Bachelor Parties:

Roast the bachelor with customized comedy. You provide the information and I'll trash him!

Don't want to go the stripper route but still want to have fun? My shows are whatever you want; they can be clean, they can be dirty, but they're always memorable.

 

Comedy And Magic Are Also Perfect For

Bar/Bat Mitzvahs - Cocktail Hour - Grand Openings

Promotions - Holiday Parties - Graduation Parties

 

What Makes Us Different

If you're trying to hire entertainment I'm sure you're having a hard time knowing who to believe.

Everybody is claiming to offer the same things, yet when you ask for a price quote there are huge inconsistencies.

To make matters worse, when you say the price is too high, the agency is willing to "work" with you. Work you over is more like it.

After dealing with these people you're probably starting to think used car salesmen have more scruples; You're probably right.

Consistent pricing so you can be confident of your decision (you won't have to worry that the next person calling is getting a better deal while you get taken).

Hip entertainment (not bland, low-energy stuff you've seen a thousand times).

Fun entertainment that people will remember for a long time.

Sophisticated shows (no cornball antics to embarrass you).

You won't have to worry about complaints or regret the next day (clean, appropriate material means you can relax and enjoy the show with confidence because you've hired a professional).

Comedy that people remember. Your guests will be laughing, they'll feel good, and they'll have you to thank for it. This is so much better than having to apologize for the lousy entertainer that seemed good on the phone.

No obnoxious behavior on the phone, at your event, or any other time.

No gaudy outfits that turn your event into a circus.

Memories that will last forever (I get people constantly telling me they still have a memento from one of my shows. Sometimes, they even have it in their wallet or purse to prove it.)

Better pricing with better value. Our motto at CEO is to over deliver. A lot of entertainers simply show up and do what's expected, nothing more. When I leave your event, you'll feel like you got a bargain because I'm willing to go the extra mile to make you look great.

Here Are Four Good Reasons To Believe Me

One: I've been in this business almost my entire life. I started learning magic when I was four years old. I started performing magic for money when I was 14. I've worked for agencies in Miami, Orlando, Chicago, and Los Angeles. As a result, I've worked with great people and I've worked with unscrupulous characters. It's clear to me that the companies who were honest and provided a great service prospered while the other ones closed up. CEO is prospering because I deliver on my promises.

Two: My clients use me again and again. There's one magician I know of that teaches marketing to other magicians. He says, "Don't worry if your act stinks because marketing is so strong that there's enough work to last you a lifetime even if you only work for each of your clients once." Wow, I wonder how his customers would feel if they knew his philosophy.

Three: I'm a member of both the Society of American Magicians and the Academy of Magical Arts at The Magic Castle. Not only that, but my entertainment experience extends beyond magic. I worked in major market radio (New York and Chicago) including a stint with Howard Stern, have performed at the best known comedy clubs (Catch A Rising Star, The Comic Strip, The Comedy Store, etc.), was the opening act for Kenny Kramer "The Real Kramer," graduated from the Player's Workshop of the Second City, and performed for two years in one of the best known comedy troupes in Chicago.

Four: CEO is my only source of income. Guess what? A lot of these "entertainers" you're talking to have jobs. They can't make a living solely from performing because they just aren't good enough. Maybe with experience they'll be able to quit their day jobs, but do you want to pay for their training?

 

Don't Take My Word For It. Look At The Celebrities I've Performed For and Read What My Clients Say.

"Thanks for helping BusinessWeek make a great impression."

Dear Zach,

My image of magic was shattered the night you entertained our BusinessWeek clients. I had no idea how powerful and sophisticated intimate sleight of hand could be.

Booking you added a great touch to our party, and our customers are still talking about how much you added to the "magic" of the evening. Not only did you add a unique, surprise element to the party, but you were also great to work with. From our first contact to the end of the party, you were a consummate professional.

Thanks for helping BusinessWeek make a great impression. Our Clients are already asking about next year!

Best Regards,

Bob Maund

"We have had excellent response from clients."

Mr. Waldman anticipated our needs and represented us in an excellent manner with both current and future clients. His performance as a magician was excellent. More impressive however was that he was able to convey to every client, in a professional manner, that we were the company sponsoring his performance."

We have had excellent response from clients and would recommend Mr. Waldman's services without hesitation.

"All we had to do was tell you where we needed help and you made a crowd appear."

Dear Zach,

Thank you for performing at The Koreatown Plaza.

From our first contact with you to the end of our event, you were a pleasure to do business with. It made hiring you a delight.

Our event was intended to increase foot traffic throughout the mall. Although we had a lot of things happening, there were certain "dead spots" that weren't being reached by the amusements. However, your ability to gather and entertain an audience wherever we sent you solved the problem. All we had to do was tell you where we needed help and you made a crowd appear. I watched a section of the mall go from a ghost town to bustling with customers. It was like magic!

Sincerely,

Mark Choi
President

"You added value to our event."

Dear Zach:

Thank you for making our 2002 Toastmasters International District 33 Fall Conference one of the most memorable yet.

Our theme was 'Harvest The Magic,' so it seemed appropriate to have a magician reinforce our message. However, you did more than blend in with our theme. You added value to our event, you were flexible, and you did a great job of accommodating our last minute changes.

I received fantastic and positive comments about your strolling sleight-of-hand magic as well as your stage show for weeks after the event.

You provided us with a unique and special performance that set this conference apart from all others.

I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Sincerely,

Bruce Louie, DTM
Toastmasters International District 33 Governor

"You surpassed all our expectations."

Dear Zach:

I would like to thank you again for traveling to our winery recently to do a show for the staff. Everyone really had a great time. You are a very talented comedian, magician, and performer. People continued to talk about your show weeks later. You did an excellent job of adapting to our company's culture and coming up with just the right material for the audience. You surpassed all our expectations and made us very happy!

I hope we have the opportunity to see you perform again in the future. We would certainly recommend you highly to prospective clients."

Warmest regards,

"You brought us laughter and amazement"

Dear Zach:

You made our recent holiday party more fun just as promised. On top of that, you brought us laughter and amazement. In fact, everyone was buzzing about your magic for days after the party.

You certainly exceeded our expectations!

I know you can't reveal the secrets of your magic tricks but frankly, we were so entertained that we don't even want to know how it's done. One secret I do know however...you're a gifted entertainer.

Thanks again for adding your special magic to our event. I look forward to working with you again and please feel free to use me as a reference for anyone considering your services.

Sincerely,

Rich Hurley
Director of Sales and Marketing

"We consider you our secret weapon."

Dear Zach,

A note of thanks to you and your staff at CEO for the entertaining assistance you brought to our recruiting season. When asked what most our athletes enjoyed about each recruiting weekend, invariably your magic show was mentioned as a highlight. We truly believe that you played a big role in our most successful recruiting year (ranked #1 nationally) and for that we are most grateful.

We look forward to using your services as often as possible in the future. In the "recruiting wars" of college football, we consider you our secret weapon.

Fight On!

P.S. Thanks, also, for teaching me how to levitate.

"We didn't want a stuffy or uncomfortable atmosphere"

Dear Zach,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping make Absolut's "Day at the Races" a success. The day was intended to show our appreciation to some of our key customers. What we didn't want was a stuffy or uncomfortable "hard sell" atmosphere.

The other concern we had while planning the event was that people would become bored during the twenty-minute periods between races. Everyone at the event enjoyed the time you spent entertaining them at their tables. Your mix of magic and comedy kept the atmosphere light and the day moving.

Best of luck with your future endeavors!

Sincerely,

Michael L. Olsker
Regional Marketing Director

"I was a little hesitant about having a magician/comedian"

Dear Zach,

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you and to thank you for a wonderful performance at our company Christmas party. It is our goal to entertain our employees at out annual get together. I must admit I was a little hesitant about having a magician/comedian, was I ever surprised. You read each and everyone just right. Besides being an incredible magician I felt your comedy was extremely funny and tasteful at the right moments. Our employees are still commenting on how entertaining the evening was. We are looking forward to having you entertain our employees at our next annual gathering. We hope you will be available. May you have a prosperous New Year!

Respectfully,

Michael Perilman

You Won't Find Me In The Yellow Pages

I used to advertise in the Yellow Pages but the people that called me were shopping for the cheapest company. I'm not the cheapest but I am the best.

There is normally a correlation between a performer's fee and the quality of the program. You would never think that a $3000 car might be similar to a $30,000 car. Just the same, you wouldn’t think that a $100 magician might be similar to a $1000 magician. You normally get what you pay for. And consider this: What you pay for a magician is normally a small fraction of what you pay for the meal at a banquet and the entertainment is probably far MORE important than the meal. You often pay 10 times more for the meal than for the entertainer (on a per capita basis), when in fact the evening’s program is probably 10 times more important than the meal. Consider the true value-per-person-attending when deciding on your entertainment investment.
