Why hire a magician in Dubai?

For a seated audience, Fred can perform a stage show combining magic and mentalism. The format is chosen according to the venue, guest numbers and running order.
Professional Magician in Dubai
25+ Years of Professional Experience
Fred has worked professionally as a magician since 1996. His career includes nearly ten years performing in Manchester United’s hospitality and executive areas, with around 500 match-day performances, followed by extensive work in Dubai and across the Gulf.
Roaming, Stage & Mentalism
Roaming magic works well during cocktails, dinners and networking. Stage magic and mentalism are designed for a seated audience and can be adapted to conferences, gala dinners and company celebrations. Both formats can also be combined within the same event.
Trade Shows & Exhibitions
Magic for busy exhibition floors in Dubai
At exhibitions and trade shows, the performance can be built around the stand, product or sales message. Short routines attract visitors, start conversations and give the sales team a natural opportunity to speak with prospects. Custom effects can also incorporate products, logos or key messages.
Digital Magic & Brand Activations
For product launches and brand activations, Fred can create effects using digital content, iPads and smartphones alongside physical objects. The presentation can incorporate a product, logo or campaign message rather than using a standard off-the-shelf routine.
Corporate & Private Events
Fred performs at conferences, gala dinners, company celebrations, private receptions and weddings in Dubai and across the UAE. Roaming and stage formats are available separately or can be combined depending on the schedule.
Dubai, UAE & International Events
Fred performs regularly in Dubai and is available throughout the UAE, including Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates, as well as for selected international bookings. Performances are available in English or French.
Types of Magic Performances Available
Fred’s stage show combines magic, mentalism and audience participation. It can be presented as a short feature during a gala dinner or as a longer stand-alone performance, depending on the event schedule.
Members of the audience become more than just seated observers as Fred as they experience the magic interactively. The suspense is real, and the surprises keep coming!
Roaming magic is performed table to table or with small groups during cocktails, dinners and networking. There is no need to stop the event or gather everyone around a stage.
Fred combines technology and illusions. Digital content turns into real objects and the magic takes place between the audience and the device (tablet or phone).
Fred Sharp can get your message across or create an impressive presentation for your next product launch or brand activation.
Digital magic is available mostly on iPads and is also possible on Android devices. Fred can even create custom magical effects to promote your product or service.
