Innovative creative consultancy
It’s not just theatre that needs bespoke magic solutions. The same innovative and creative thinking can also be applied to the needs of business and private clients.
Making an actor disappear, float, or even burst into flames are just a few of the challenges Richard Pinner has solved over the years.
In fact, one of the first shows Richard worked on contained the stage direction…
“…changes into an orange blob and floats out the window.”
The actor, in this case, was Rupert Everett and the show was Some Sunny Day at London’s Hampstead Theatre.
Here are some more examples of bespoke magic consultancy.

Spiceworld IT Conference
Entertaining guests at an international expo
Client Aim: Engage event attendees at the client’s exhibition stand long enough to start conversations and support the client’s key messages.
Key Messages: The client’s solution allows for PC and Mac solutions to be uploaded to a server and accessed via web browsers – on all devices – in a short amount of time.
The Solution: Richard created 15 minutes of bespoke branded magic that was performed throughout the busiest parts of the day using branded playing cards. A special piece was also performed for the camera, as seen here.

Mobile World Congress, Spain
Using magic to deliver brand messaging
The Challenge: The aim was to use magic to highlight the dangers of mobile identity theft, building awareness in the industry.
Key Messages: The act highlighted the importance of strong passwords, how easy it is to lose information, and why people are predictable.
The Solution: Richard created three different 10-minute shows of branded stand-up and mind reading. They were performed hourly throughout the 4-day conference and demonstrated a new effect to showcase the benefits of NFC technology.
