laughter and a fun time! Keep up the great work; I will highly

"Cross Over"
into the Extraordinary!
Make your Blue and Gold Banquet a
NOT-to-be-forgotten event,
with a hilarious performance by Maine's family entertainers, The Magic of The Steelgraves!
"Thank you so much for a
memorable Pack meeting! Your show was fabulous,
and truly kept the boys entertained and engaged in the magic tricks!
I heard great praises
and appreciation from the parents as well. Markus was so funny,
Angelique so beautiful and captivating!
We loved the cub-bunny! (Hmm...or was it 4 doves in a bunny suit?)
You both seem to genuinely enjoy
your work, and it shines through in your show! Although there were
only a few prospective Scouts there,
I am certain the boys
will be excited to tell their friends
at school today about your show, and thereby
create some interest in
joining our Pack in the future.
We consider this a big success!!" --Pack #622,
Manchester, ME

The Blue and Gold Banquet is one of the most important events of the year for

We realize cost is often
the most important consideration when planning
your Banquet entertainment.
Our program is perfect for groups of under 100 people, who desire high-quality,
professional, AWESOME entertainment--at an extremely affordable price! It doesn't include any large-scale illusions,
so it can be performed just about anywhere; no stage required. This 45 minute show delivers a
major entertainment value. (CALL OR E-MAIL FOR
PRICES!!)
Don't take a chance hiring entertainment that isn't "tried and
tested". Some
performers are "eaten alive" by enthusiastic groups of mostly boys.
(You may have seen this
at your Banquet before.) Markus has no problem with this; between his
audience-handling skills and
Angelique's "feminine influence" on the show, there's no fear of an audience
takeover.And, most importantly, we know when to let the Scouts take
center stage in the show and be the hams they love to be (!);
these moments are the highlight of every Blue and Gold Banquet
performance!! Our decades of experience performing for groups just like yours
guarantees that you'll enjoy a spectacular Blue and Gold Banquet
magic show that will leave everyone
ooh-ing, aaahh-ing, laughing,
cheering, and wanting more!
TECHNICAL
REQUIREMENTS are fairly simple; not much space is required, and we can
even time our arrival so our load-in and set-up don't interfere with
the rest of your Banquet activities.
Set-up time: About 1 hour
Take-down time: 45 minutes
Performance area about 10' wide x 8'
deep
(Cleared indoor space backed by a wall
or other barrier to keep the "backstage" area private)
Electrical outlet
nearby and enough room lighting for the
audience to see clearly
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're really easy to work
with, and we send a detailed Performance Agreement ahead of time to
avoid surprises on either end. Read more about us on the other
pages of this site. And feel free to call us anytime if
you have any questions or want to learn how to make your Blue and Gold
Banquet the most AMAZING yet!
WHAT DO
OTHER PACKS SAY?
"I
cannot thank you enough for an awesome and very memorable night.
You two are really phenomenal; thank you!!" --Pack #105,
Pembroke, MA (2010)
"Awesome show! Not only did the kids look amazed, so did the
adults. I had many parents
comment how great the show was; the Scouts told me they want to see you again
next year.
Your show had a great mix, not only magic and illusion, but laughter also.
The acts were great
and
the music is a very nice touch. You handle the kids extremely well.
I strongly recommend your
performance.
Thank you very much for a great time!" --Pack #187,
Turner, ME (2004)
"Thank you so much for your outstanding performance last night!
I received SO many compliments from kids and adults on your
performance that I wanted to share just a few:
What a great show!
They were AWESOME!
Can they come back next year? They were phenomenal! and
my personal favorite - My son laughed so hard,
he peed his pants! and this mom held up the plastic bag to prove
it! :-)
What a great mix of magic and laughter all rolled into one. The
kids (and parents) were so engaged in everything ~
the magic, juggling, stories and funny jokes! Many commented on
how they were impressed that you rolled 'scouting' and 'blue and gold'
into your show. Your performance truly pushed this Blue & Gold
Banquet to stand out as
our best yet ~ one that our Pack will remember
for a loooooooooong time!" --Pack #45,
Chelmsford, MA
(2010)
"Thank you for braving the terrible storm
tonight; I was sorry not all my scouts weren't as brave as you.
But
those that did attend had a great time. My oldest son especially wants
me to make sure you come back again next year.
The boys really, really
enjoyed the show. Even the grown-ups were totally amazed! Now I
see why you're the best;
you were GREAT.
I will highly recommend you
to those looking for a great thing for Blue and Gold.
Many thanks again!" --Pack #125, Poland, ME
"Your
performance was unbelievable. Everyone loved it and is still saying
wonderful things about the show.
Excellent job!" --Pack #41, Hudson, MA
"This year's Blue & Gold was a complete
success, and you were a huge part of that for us.
We strive to be as organized as we can and you folks seem to understand this
need. The crowd
participation was wonderful, even with a boy with a belly full of sugar and his
15 minutes of fame!
I definitely will recommend you to anyone looking for entertainment,
and fully
intend to
keep your number for next year.
Thanks for everything, and for the
pleasure in meeting you both." --Pack
#109, Lisbon Falls, ME
"An endorsement
from the Cubmaster of Pack 55,
Swampscott MA falls well short of the endorsements of the Cub Scouts of Pack 55 after your performance.
The show that you put on captured the attention of every scout and
parent in the room (some 150+ in all).
Your show combined magic and scouting beyond my
expectations,
and for a very reasonable price.
The boys all loved the performance and
we look forward to bringing you back for our Blue & Gold in 200X. Angelique and yourself
were very professional, entertaining and
committed performers.
It's good to see a pair give so much and work so hard for the boys.
Very Cool.
Thanks SO
Much." --Pack #55, Swampscott,
MA
"Thank
you so much--your appearance at our Blue and Gold dinner was super!
Everyone enjoyed your show.
I won't hesitate to recommend you to any
group.
Keep up the good work!" --Pack #40, Natick, MA
"...This was the best entertainment we have had at our event. Thanks again
for an amazing performance
that the Pack will always remember." --Pack #19, Middleton, MA
"Your
entire performance was EXCELLENT. Not only was your magic first-rate,
your ability to keep young children and siblings entertained was
impressive." --Pack #187, Turner,
ME

If your Banquet
has a theme, let us know! We may be able to tailor the show
accordingly. Some past themes have included Mardi Gras, Chinese New
Year, Luau, and Pirates.
Most Blue and Gold Banquets are held February through May, so it's best to
start planning in early fall. If possible, try to have your Banquet
entertainment (The
Magic of The Steelgraves, of course!) secured by January
1. Our programs are available to Scout groups year-round, too.
What a great addition to
Pack meetings, recruitment drives, Round Tables, Scout Jamborees, and
fundraisers!
The calendar fills quickly with performances for many other organizations,
though, so dates are limited.
To avoid disappointment, please
contact us NOW to book your show!
Thank you...and here's to another 101 Years of Scouting!!
