Trade Show Magician Makes Magic Happen
The goals when attending a trade show are simple.
- Attract the largest audience possible.
- Professionally deliver your message.
- Deepen brand/product awareness.
- Bring home as many qualified leads as possible.
This is precisely what trade show magician Gene Urban has been doing for over 2 decades.
What is a Trade Show Magician?
If you have attended a number of trade show events you have probably viewed a magician at someone’s booth. This performer may have been a true trade show magician or a magician simply performing tricks in a booth. There is a big difference.
A skilled trade show magician has probably held jobs in sales and/or marketing while honing his magic skills. A true trade show magician understands terms such as:
- Benefit Analysis
- Brand Awareness
- Buying Signals
- Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
- Lead Gen
- Lead Qualification
- Positioning Statement
- Top of the Funnel (TOFU)
An effective trade show magician understands he or she is part of your sales and marketing team. His job is…
- Accurately deliver product and company information.
- Consciously represent the company’s brand to the public.
- Deepen brand/product awareness.
- Draw every possible attendee to the client’s booth.
- Help capture as many qualified leads as possible.
- Help the staff identify potential clients.
- Insure guests leave the booth having had a great experience.
You may have noticed nothing was mentioned about magic. A great trade show magician uses magic as a tool or vehicle to help clients achieve their trade show goals. The fact is, magic has proven to be one of the best ways to make trade show success happen.

What Kind of Trade Show Magic Is Best with Gene Urban?
