Types of Magic

Family Magician is a magician who performs parlor magic or stage show magic that entertains many age groups (young children, tweens, teens, and adults) during the same show. 

Children’s Magician is a specialized aspect of parlor magic (magic performed in someone’s home) and is meant to entertain young children (3-7). It is typically performed at birthday parties, churches, preschools, elementary schools, Sunday Schools or libraries. This type of magic is usually comedic in nature. 

Strolling or Walk Around Magician is a branch of close-up magic where the magician roams a room or at an event and performs for groups of spectators. Strolling magic is also known as walk around magic. Although I do performed walk around mental magic/mentalism in general I do not perform walk around magic. 

Stage Magician performs for large audiences, typically within a theatre or auditorium. Large-scale props distinguish this type of magic along with the use of stage assistants. 

Mentalist is a magician of types that creates the impression in the minds of the audience that the performer possesses special powers to read thoughts, predict events, control other minds, and similar feats. It can be presented on a stage, in a cabaret setting, parlor, before small close-up groups, or even for one spectator.
