Behind The Business of a Corporate Magician
Business is all about measuring costs, not just financial, but also emotional. Brian Glow frankly talks about the highs and lows of life on the road as a seasoned corporate magician and you get insights by hearing some of the real stories, the real costs associated with this.
Who’s Brian Glow? Mind your own corporate business. Well, actually, Brian has been minding his for years; about 40 to be correct.
“This outstanding corporate magician and illusionist is recognized as one of the top specialists in his field of entertainment, magic, illusion, and special effects design. For over 40 years Brian Glow has performed for corporate events, sales meetings, new product launches, and trade show exhibits, featuring corporate entertainment in over 40 countries.
Brian Glow is the creator of one of the largest touring magic and illusion shows. This expert corporate illusionist works with a cast of up to 75 of dancers, assistants, and technicians. His concert productions have been touring throughout the world since 1977 to over 40 countries and has recently toured in Europe, Jamaica, USA, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Philippines, and a coast-to-coast in Canada.”
That’s the promo blurb, and as accurate in detail as it is, it doesn’t tell the whole story. It doesn’t let you see behind the scenes of what it takes to live the life and do the job of a corporate magician.
