Custom magic giveaways are an excellent way to add value to your events. There are many options for customization with playing cards, puzzles, and games. The photo above shows a few customizations with playing cards. To the left are playing cards for 1stdibs and to the right are 3 card monte sets for Agilent and the Cayman Islands.
Custom Playing Cards
The custom playing cards for 1stdibs were giveaways for designers who attended their cocktail hour. 1stdibs goal was to highlight new products so that the designers could share them with their clients. Each playing card features a product, so 104 products are featured with the two decks. As I entertained guests, I highlighted the pieces and made sure everyone knew that they are available for purchase on their website.
Custom 3 Card Monte Sets
The 3 card monte is an excellent giveaway for cocktail hours and trade shows. The set includes two regular cards and a special card where you can include information about your company and products. You can see that the Agilent card has a custom URL which directs people to a specific website. The set also includes instructions so that people can learn how to perform it on their own.
When I performed for the Cayman Islands, they had me perform the trick during their cocktail hour. Then at the start of my show, I explained how the cards worked and gave the audience the opportunity to try it out. The cards were a huge hit and were an excellent way to theme the evening with their brand.
At trade shows, I always perform 3 card monte at the end of my show. I perform the routine with the promise that everyone will learn how to perform it. Then I invite attendees into the booth to talk with our team and to get the trick. Often, attendees will learn the trick and perform it for their friends. As the word spreads, more and more people come to the booth to learn the trick and learn about products.
Here is a video that shows how I perform 3 card monte to get people into a booth:
