Table hopping is a form of close-up magic where the magician moves from table to table (usually in a restaurant), the magic of the show. This provides valuable exposure to a magician, and enhances the reputation of the restaurant.
I am often asked by young men of his age must be before they start jumping table. My career as a hopper table began a few days after my final GCSE (Test of English for 16 years). I would say it must be at least 16 years (including then I was young enough to work) – The older you are more likely than hearing you respect, and the easier it is for you "keep control". We hope that more young people can play in your favor that the public may make concessions for young people and are therefore less prone to try tripping. Unfortunately, some people see this as a vulnerability and an opportunity to get a better view showing you that they know better! You should certainly feel confident with what you do and their skills in Â'managing peoplee.
I found it very useful to let the subtlety boards know who was hired by the restaurant – It is good to wear a badge of identity (except in "costume") – this way, the tables are likely to let you do the magic for them without thinking that you leave a tip you, or you ask!
Time is a very important factor in the jump table. It is essential to time your visit to the individual tables – If you arrive just before the waiter / waitress arrives with their food, their visit was cut short – Nobody wants you around then! I found that arrived shortly after your main course was cleared worked well, or about "coffee". Of course, it depends on your location – and we will soon see what works for each place.
Another question I often ask is the rate to charge. There are no hard and fast rules – depends new type of situation, experience and how often you go there (a charge often used much less regular place to ensure a long life there.) If it's just a special occasion so do not forget that you are providing a very exclusive service, so you should be able to charge a fair amount.
I found it very useful for recognition Audible tables (eg, laughter or applause) – which is often more interesting and interested in pictures that you see!
Finally, to the same set each table, or different things to everyone? This obviously depends on many tips on how you can do with a limited number of accessories that all fit in your pocket! If you repeat the same routine for each table, tables of future can they have seen their tricks, so it will be less entertaining and more likely to know how. If you change routine for each table, then you can find your audience is much larger than the one table, you must be cautious about viewing angles. If you can manage it, is generally more impressive for the public and managers of restaurants that are a "Wizard of good quality." It prevents also enter into a monotonous routine, which is probably less exciting their act after making 50 times that night!
Good luck!
