The MAGIC of The
Steelgraves, Almodarr's Grand
Illusion...
STAGE MAGIC



Over the past 36 years, the magic of
Markus (Almodarr) Steelgrave has been featured at countless
venues nationwide.
Stage magic performances are always thoughtfully crafted to best fit your
particular audience, your specific occasion,
and the performance space itself. Although having a traditional stage is
always best for a performance of this nature,
it is not always necessary; the show can also be performed in a banquet hall or other room
that lacks a stage, as long as there is
enough room to set up a backdrop and to perform the desired style of show.
Indoor performances usually include a variation of The Steelgraves' lovely, award-winning
dove magic routine,
as well as many other segments of stunning magic, comedic audience
participation,
and (often) Markus' wonderful juggling. (Fire eating is optional, and only
performed upon request.)
Larger performances also include from one to four "grand
illusions". (Better
photos of illusions coming soon!!)
Whichever style of show you select, your audience will be
dazzled and truly
ENTERTAINED!

STROLLING MAGIC
"Your show was
fantastic! You were able to get kids and adults involved and laughing!
I heard only great comments about how amazed people were with your ability! I have been pleased with your professionalism and how easy
you are to work with.
You made my Guest Activities Programming look good and I did almost
nothing! See You Again Soon!"
--The Samoset Resort, Rockland, ME
(has booked five performances to date)

Stage Magic performances can range from a dynamic 20-minute act to a
fully-staged two-hour magic and illusion variety
extravaganza. The shorter "act" is perfect as an opening or
closing act if there is another entertainer (such as a band or
musician) headlining at your event. This type of act is also a great
addition to a larger roster of variety
entertainment such as for fairs, festivals, or New Vaudevillian productions.
Standard stage magic shows run
30 to 60 minutes--an ideal length for company parties, award banquets,
family events,
school assemblies, and just about every other occasion where a splash of magical
entertainment is desired.
The longer performances (75 to 100 minutes) are perfect as full-evening
features, and can be custom-tailored to be as elaborate
as you need. For fundraisers, a larger show is recommended, as patrons
will have higher expectations for their ticket prices
and the larger show is the most spectacular...and of course the more tickets
your organization sells, the more funds you raise.
Definitely not merely some
pick-a-card-any-card magician armed with just a suitcase and a few
"tricks",
a stage magic performance by The Magic of The Steelgraves is always a spectacular,
fully-staged magic event.
They consistently strive to add to and improve their magical repertoire, so even
those many clients who book once a year (or more)
are treated to a virtually new experience each time. Based in Southern Maine,
they
travel just about anywhere-- however, as all
travel is by vehicle, engagements outside New England must be block booked,
or feature a run of multiple performances.
"Your magic, illusions, and
juggling have been getting rave reviews from not only all of the members of our
bar association who attended, but from our 'outside' guests as well! ... After
having seen you perform at last year's convention for the Magicians' Alliance of
Eastern States, I knew you were the illusionists that I wanted for this event.
Thank you for making our charity fundraiser such a success!"

SEASONAL and THEMED STAGE SHOWS
Theming
performances is one of The Steelgraves' specialties; with backgrounds in theatre and
creative arts, those skills are put to work
to create shows for holidays and other special occasions. If your event
has a particular theme, chances are it can be incorporated into the performance. Mardi Gras, Halloween, the December
holidays, Easter, anniversaries, whatever the special event...the stage settings,
music, wardrobe and most of the magic is designed to reflect the theme, giving
your audience even more reason to celebrate!



The Steelgraves' fully-staged "Halloween
Happenings" magic show; several versions are available to fit
various
budgets and venues.
HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS,
hosted by your macabre masters of mysterious magic, Baron and Baroness von
Steelgrave, features eerie
effects and ghoulish gallivantings. Good clean fun, with a smidgen of silly spookiness--they
may even float an audience member in the air!
Family-oriented and frighteningly delicious. Tricks and treats
galore!




"Magic of The Holidays",
perennially popular December magic show; can be performed with or
without large illusions. Non-denominational, the halls are decked to fit
the season, and it's great fun for everyone.
MAGIC OF THE HOLIDAYS
is an exciting, beautiful, and warmly humorous magical celebration--appropriate
for all ages,
toddlers through adults! It's a great gift for school students just before
vacation, and is also perfect for your organization's holiday party! This
show will
put even the most Scrooge-like among us into a festive mood.




"The Wizard's World", especially
popular during those H.P. book releases.

Las Vegas...right here in New England.
Please contact
The Steelgraves
for details of each type of show available. Technical requirements for the
stage magic shows vary according
to the type of show: the larger shows require more space, more time to set
up and load in, and more time to take down/load out.
If your event features one of our stage magic performances, plan on anywhere
from 1 1/2 to 3 hours for set-up, and 1 to 2
hours for take down. Smaller stage shows can be set up in about an hour
provided the performing location is cleared beforehand.
The Magic of The
Steelgraves offers something for nearly every space, budget, and
audience.
Call or e-mail
now; they'll help you conjure up the PERFECT magical entertainment for your
event.
