Alakazam's Online Christmas Party

Alakazam's Online Christmas Party was a lively and chaotic celebration of magic, community, and the holiday spirit. Despite some initial audio technical difficulties, the event delivered a packed schedule of magic, performances, and prizes, aiming to kick off the festive season with fun, laughter, and holiday cheer. Over £1,000 worth of magic prizes were given away to 25 lucky viewers through trivia questions, Christmas jokes, and a photo contest. Renowned magicians like Craig Petty, Doug Con, Nicholas Mes, Martin Pierce, and Wayne Goodman (who departed early) graced the event with performances and tutorials. Doug Con demonstrated a trick using friction pens, while Martin Pierce presented a Christmas-themed routine, “Angels Among Us,” emphasizing connection and harmony. The video also highlighted Alakazam Unlimited, described as a 'Netflix for magicians,' showcasing its vast library of magic tricks and courses, including acting lessons and spongeball tutorials. The event included a special awards ceremony, recognizing Henry Ferris as creator of the year and awarding “Evaporate” as the best trick of 2024. A guest appearance by Captain America announced a giveaway for US-based viewers. Martin Pierce also shared a self-working trick called “Magic Touch” using ornament cards, and the event touched on the concept of color psychology in magic.
