With two universities in town, a lot of Hattiesburg's audience is young and quick to call your bluff. Card magic that plays big and survives a heckle is the right start. The Svengali deck gives you a reliable force from day one; a stripper deck adds a location effect; the Marked and Tapered Deck combines both ideas. Our card magic for beginners explains how to build a short routine. See card magic.

South Mississippi weddings are long, generous affairs, and couples increasingly book a strolling magician for the cocktail hour. The audience spans grandparents to college friends, so choose visual magic over clever patter.

The Saenger cost 250,000 dollars to build in 1929 and has had four major renovations; the 2003 work restored it close to its original look, and further upgrades to lighting and the stage were scheduled for 2025. Its 778-pipe Morton organ was sold in the 1970s, then bought back and reinstalled. A movie-palace stage rewards magic that reads at distance: linking rings, silks and an appearing cane.
