Franklin, TN Holiday House Party Amps Up the Fun with Magic

Picture

​Strolling Magic, a Screaming Guest, and a Client Who's Already Rebooked

The Overview
Every December, Jenny opens her Franklin home to about 50 friends and family for a party that's become a tradition in its own right. For a couple of years, that tradition included a different magician, but in 2025 he suggested it was time to switch things up, and referred Jenny to me.
She took the recommendation. And by the end of the night, she was already thinking about next year.

Quick Stats
  • Client: Jenny L.
  • Event: Private Annual Holiday Party
  • Date: December 2025
  • Location: Private residence, Franklin, TN
  • Audience Size: ~50 guests (friends and family)
  • Booking Source: Referral from another magician
  • Deliverable: strolling close up magic throughout the party

The Booking
Jenny's holiday party runs on two things: her guests, and magic. She'd hired the same magician for a couple of years running — but this year, he suggested she try someone new to keep the tradition feeling fresh, and pointed her toward me.
​
A Highlight
Partway through the night, I was performing a card trick for a small group when one skeptical guest got completely pulled in. She was so determined not to miss the reveal that she crouched down to the floor to try to catch a glimpse of the cards before her friend flipped them over.

It didn't matter. When her friend turned the cards over, they'd transformed into completely different cards in her hands. Cue the gasps and laughter!
It was the kind of spontaneous, physical reaction you just can't script. And we have it on video!
How the Room Responded
With strolling magic, I think of myself as an ambassador of fun. I mingle with guests, gather small groups together and of course, perform amazing magic. There tends to be a buzz around the room. It's electric!

"You were amazing!! Thank you so much for everything! We will definitely recommend you to everyone!" — Jenny L.

Why It Worked
Jenny didn't need a magician to be the centerpiece of her party — She just needed an extra dose of fun that would blend in as people socialize. That's the nature of strolling close-up magic done well: it doesn't compete with the party, it becomes part of it.

An Easy Yes for Next Year
Jenny has already booked me back for this year's holiday party — turning a one-time referral into the start of her own new tradition.

Event Highlights
✅ Referral booking ✅ 50 guests ✅ Genuine gasps, screams, and laughter caught on video ✅ Client already rebooked for the following year

Planning a Holiday Party People Will Actually Remember?
Great holiday parties aren't just about good food and good music — they're about the moments guests can't stop talking about the next day. Strolling close-up magic delivers exactly that: personal, up-close, and impossible to predict.
Ready to give your guests a night they'll be recommending to everyone they know? Get in touch--I'd love to help.
