Trade Show Magician: Capturing Attention, Sparking Conversations, and Creating Lasting Memories at Your Booth

Attract attention  -  Entertain with enthusiasm  -  Guide visitors to your booth

THE GREAT BAGATELLO enhances your trade show presence with magic that stops visitors in their tracks, sparks their interest, and gently introduces them to your booth team.

Burkhard Schmidt does more than just entertain. He establishes initial contact, elicits positive reactions, and sets the stage for conversations. That is the clear role of a good trade show magician at your booth.


What trade show magic should achieve

Trade show magic is most effective when it effectively combines attention-grabbing elements, entertainment, and visitor guidance.

Capturing Attention

Amid the many impressions, stimuli, and other competitors at a trade fair, a booth needs that one moment that makes people stop and sparks their curiosity. It all happens in a matter of seconds.

Entertainment with a Purpose

The art lies not merely in amusing visitors, but in engaging them in a way that sparks their interest and encourages conversation.


Forward to the booth team

Timing is crucial when handing off trade show visitors to your experts. Good trade show magic helps facilitate this transition.

Leaving a Lasting Impression

When entertainment, the booth design, and personal interactions come together effectively, your trade show presence will remain memorable even after visitors have been exposed to many other experiences.


Why This Works at a Trade Show Booth

Amidst a flood of impressions, a trade show booth needs an approach that stops people in their tracks, opens them up, and brings them into contact with one another. This is how effective trade show magic works its magic: as a friendly icebreaker for conversations and a lasting memory.

THE GREAT BAGATELLO uses entertainment with a clear goal: to capture visitors’ attention, make them stop, engage, laugh, and open up to the moment. In this state, it becomes easier to connect with the booth, the theme, and the people behind it.

The result is trade show entertainment that doesn’t just happen alongside the booth, but works for the booth: attention-grabbing, engaging, and with an impact that lasts beyond the moment.


How to Use the GREAT BAGATELLO for Your Trade Show Presence

Depending on your booth, visitor demographics, and objectives, trade show magic can be used in various ways. The key is to ensure that the format fits the situation perfectly, thereby providing targeted and effective support for your trade show presence.


Direkt am Gang

Wenn Besucherströme aktiv angesprochen werden sollen, kann DER GROSSE BAGATELLO in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Gang eingesetzt werden. So entsteht ein erster Kontakt dort, wo Aufmerksamkeit gewonnen werden muss.

At a fixed point on the booth

A clearly defined entertainment area creates a visible focal point. Visitors gather there intentionally, the action becomes more focused, and your booth takes on a dynamic of its own.

Mobile interaction with guest groups

In open or larger exhibition spaces, a mobile approach can be effective. This allows for flexible interactions directly with individual groups, without limiting the conversation to a fixed location.

For entertainment at the booth party

After the trade show day, different rules apply than during regular visiting hours. At booth parties, THE GREAT BAGATELLO helps create a casual, sophisticated atmosphere where guests can network and continue conversations in a relaxed setting.

Why is the shell game such a powerful crowd-puller at trade shows?

The shell game offers three key advantages at trade shows:

It immediately piques the curiosity of trade show visitors, prompting them to stop in their tracks.


It provides maximum entertainment in just a few seconds. Laughter, amazement, and relaxation are guaranteed.


It leaves a vivid impression on your potential customers. The exciting experience is always associated with your booth.

For the trade show magician, it is now easy to direct the audience to your booth staff. They are once again open to new information.
Burkhard Schmidt calls this the “trade show guest reset.”

For trade show appearances, this means: The shell game is not just entertainment, but an effective way to meaningfully combine attention, a positive atmosphere, and a lasting memory of the booth.

"That was the best of the fair" is a typical statement of fair visitors, after they have experienced BAGATELLO's magic show and his shell game at a fair stand. Of course one should be careful with such statements, but they make one thing clear: They show the emotional state of the trade fair visitor experienced instantly: He is enthusiastic!

Burkhard Schmidt calls this: "Fair-visitor - reset", because now

  •     the visitor is in a positive emotional state
  •     he has laughed, is relaxed and in a good mood
  •     and thus open for new information, namely the szenarios of your trade fair appearance

This special form of magic requires a broad spectrum of skills from the artist

  •     The (potential) customers are made aware of your booth.
  •     They are entertained with enthusiasm and humour. The product can be included in the presentation on the side or offensively.
