Bulletin Newsletter Profile
This month the Bulletin Newsletter interviewed a local expert in marketing and communication. His skillful use of illusions and audience communication skills creates an entertaining atmosphere that makes people believe what they see.
The Bulletin newsletter has learned that Blair has been conjuring up magical effects professionally for over 4 years now entertaining many different types of audiences. Children's birthday party or big corporate "Vegas" style events he enjoys doing them all. The son of a machinist, Blair Marshall is a meticious businessman with a Bachelor of Commerce degree in Marketing. He is always alert for new better ways to market himself. Business accumen and university training have helped him create a very nice niche for his craft. This newsletter was given a partial list of some very satisfied clients, it includes many big name corporations (ie: Mercedes Benz, Imasco, Hitachi, Hermes, Mount Sinai Hospital, Jewish General, Big Brothers, Children's Wish Society) also Montreal's West Island Chamber of Commerce and the Jewish Chamber of Commerce. He also likes to network extensively and is very active in helping Pat Snow to run her Networking Plus business networking group in Montreal's West Island. He also belongs to a Magician MasterMind group lead by a seasoned master magician, Eric Paul , whose 40 members provide him excellent mentoring on his magic. When he was in grade 3 or 4 in Lachine and part of a children's musical group the entertainment bug got him. He realized early that he loved to entertain people. Because he could sing well he soon became a lead singer in Lachine High. Meanwhile, he discovered magic and started dabbling in it as a hobby. Realizing that his new hobby could make him some money, he researched and then approached certain shopping center real estate developers asking them whether he could entertain their clients with his acts, the rest is history. Always resourceful and willing to create the opportunity, he has tried many different marketing methods since then to promote his business. His research has shown that his most effective marketing methods are "direct mail", business cards, and referrals from satisfied customers. Presently, he sends out hundreds of specially designed glossy postcards showing some of his acts to potential and existing clients. He is also very generous with business cards passing thousands out everywhere he goes. Blair told this newsletter that his favorite crowd pleasing act in his "SHAZAAM" show is "levitating" people, primarily his beautiful assistants, or objects. Webster's dictionary defines levitation as “the rising or lifting of a person or thing by means held to be supernatural.” People and objects seem to float in midair simply through a process called “pyschokinesis” a kind of mind control. Reality tells us that levitation is physically impossible because of earth's gravitational influence on all physical things. Blair however, creates the conditions that convinces the audience it is really happening before their eyes. This “trick” and 64 other ones including sawing someone in half or making them suddenly disappear are all just very clever illusions and good fun nothing else. Some of Blair's qualifications include:
