Why book a magician for your New Year's reception?
The New Year's reception is often the first chance of the year to bring together employees, members or customers, and the New Year speech can easily run long if there is nothing else on the programme. A short, entertaining act with magic and comedy breaks up the speech and sends everyone into the new year in a good mood.
- Strengthens team spirit and company culture
- Creates great conversations throughout the event
- Boosts the energy and lifts the mood
Why companies and associations choose Anders for their New Year's reception
Anders is both a magician and a comedian, and for a New Year's reception that means the entertainment can be tailored to the whole event. It could be a short act right after the speech, close-up magic while guests mingle with a glass of bubbly in hand, or a full show if the reception is combined with a bigger staff party. The format is agreed before booking. Whatever the format, it is about giving guests a shared moment where they are surprised and laugh together, a good way to start the year.

Which entertainment suits your New Year's reception?
There are several ways to build entertainment into a New Year's reception. Anders can deliver a short shared act, close-up magic during the reception, or combine the two, depending on how your reception is put together.
Magic show for the whole group
A short magic show lasting 10 to 20 minutes works well right after the New Year speech, while everyone is already gathered together. Magic and comedy create a natural highlight before the rest of the reception gets going.
Close-up magic among the guests
During the reception, while guests mingle with a glass of bubbly, Anders gets right up close and performs magic right in front of them. It's an easy way to get people talking across colleagues, members and guests who do not necessarily know each other beforehand.
Show + close-up magic
If the New Year's reception is combined with a bigger staff party or members' party, a full magic show can be combined with close-up magic during the reception, so the event gets both a shared highlight and magical moments close to the guests along the way.
Entertainment throughout the New Year's reception
A New Year's reception often has several phases throughout the day, and the entertainment can be placed wherever it does the most good.
After the New Year speech
A short, entertaining act right after the formal New Year speech breaks it up and sends the rest of the reception off to a good start.
During the reception
While guests mingle with a glass of bubbly in hand, Anders performs close-up magic up close, an effective way to get people talking who do not necessarily know each other.
At the staff party in January
If the New Year's reception is extended into a full staff party or members' party, a full magic show lasting 20 to 35 minutes can bring everyone together for a shared highlight of the event.
FAQ
Questions about entertainment for the New Year's reception
Here are answers to some of the questions companies and associations most often ask when considering entertainment for their New Year's reception.
Most New Year's receptions are held in the first couple of weeks of January, often as a morning or lunchtime reception, shortly after companies and associations are back up and running after the Christmas break. It's a short season, so it's a good idea to book well ahead, ideally already in November or December.
The price depends among other things on the length of the show, the time of day and where in the country the reception is held. You can always get a no obligation quote, so you get a specific price for entertainment at your New Year's reception.
A short act right after the New Year speech typically lasts 10 to 20 minutes. If the reception is extended into a full staff party, Anders puts on a full 35 minute show.
