Bill P - Georgia Magicians
Bill P is one of our Magicians in Woodstock GA:
Bill began his career tuning pianos and performing in a pop trio before touring for five years with dance and show bands, including a brief stint in Saudi Arabia. In 1982, he joined the country-rock group “Atlanta,” which recorded three Top Ten singles and two Gold Albums while touring nationwide and appearing on TV. After the band's dissolution, Bill pursued his other passion—magic.
Delivering pizzas while practicing sleight-of-hand, he got his break in 1989 as a street entertainer at Underground Atlanta, where he performed for a decade. Establishing a stellar reputation, he now fulfills up to 400 engagements annually, delighting audiences with magic and balloon art at events of all kinds. Notable highlights include performing at the Olympic Village, assisting Harry Blackstone, Jr., and being named Atlanta’s Magician of the Year (2000).
Bill's wife Tammy also contributes with balloon-twisting and face-painting. For an unforgettable event, just look for the man in the white suit!

Options:
Strolling: For Strolling Magic, Bill moves through the crowd, performing close-up magic for guests as they mingle in small groups. He uses small props like cards, coins, bills, balls, rubber bands, and rope to create engaging magical moments.
Birthday Show: The length of the sit-down-and-watch part of the show varies from 25-30 minutes (for 3-year-olds), to 40-45 minutes (7 and up), followed by free quality balloon sculptures to complete the hour. You can start refreshments during the balloon-twisting part if you want. If there are more than 15 guests or so, he can either shorten the magic portion to allow more time for balloons or make extra balloons for the birthday child only.
Stage Show: Bill appears in formal attire, carrying a custom suitcase that doubles as a table. The act is self-contained, except for an occasional borrowed item or a volunteer assistant from the audience. For intimate groups, Bill performs minor miracles using playing cards, borrowed bills, business cards, etc. For larger audiences, Bill brings his own wireless P.A. system and curtain backdrop, and utilizes more visible props such as jumbo cards, rope, silks, and even small animals. For more theatrical settings, a number of stage illusions with assistants can be presented, including the classic levitation of an audience volunteer. All shows feature mentalism, Bill's popular "Linking Friendship Rings" routine, a great deal of interaction with the audience, and a brief demonstration of his impressive balloon-twisting skills to present a charming gift to the hostess.
