FREQUENTLY THOUGHT OF QUESTIONS …
(Remember, it’s Colin you’re dealing with – you don’t need to ask.)
What is a virtual show?
With the world currently existing in a very interesting state, learning to adapt has been crucial for all industries.
This is no different. Colin and his team have worked with experts in filming, lighting and computer programming to write and design a show that feels as close to an in-person show as possible.
Colin will engage everyone during the show as you all become the stars of the performance.
The same rules apply as a live show. No one will be embarrassed and people only have to participate if they want to.
The experience is broadcast in HD via a Zoom link in a TV show format where you and your guests will be able to interact with Colin like a live TV Show.
Who is the show aimed at?
Having performed on stages for family audiences in theaters all over the world for the past 20 years, Colin is a master at pitching the content perfectly so that it appeals to all.
Whether the show has children in the audience or you’re hosting a late night event for adults only, his situational awareness will guarantee the material feels like it’s been written specifically for your audience.
What happens in the show?
Whether it’s in person or as part of a virtual event, Colin’s shows capture the metaphorical magic of everything you’ve seen him do on TV shows and stages around the world, delivered in a more intimate environment.
Minds will be read, facts will be deduced and people will be influenced in ways that will astound and delight everyone.
The goal is to make everyone gasp, laugh and ensure your event is remembered forever. No one is embarrassed and no deep dark secrets are revealed (Colin will hold on to those for blackmailing purposes later) – the purpose is to ensure everyone has a truly phenomenal time.
What’s the difference between a live and virtual show?
Obviously, nothing will ever compete with the vibe of a live show and being in the same room as the performer.
That being said, some of the strongest feedback Colin has received is that clients and audiences are blown away by how effortlessly his energy and charisma carry through the camera into their home, and are even more amazed by how interactive his show still is.
So, for now … this is just as good and EVERYONE will have a front-row seat.
How long is the show?
No two events are ever the same. We know that. But we always recommend 40–45 minutes as the perfect amount of time when you are inviting Colin to be a part of your event.
That being said, if you’re looking for something to open for 5–10 minutes, or a full evening show of 75 minutes of entertainment, we can work together to design the perfect solution for you.
How big can the audience be?
Your event can be as large as you’d like. Having performed in stadiums for upward of 8,000 people and in boardrooms for a small handful of CEOs, the content and structure of the show can be adapted to your needs.
Likewise, for virtual events, your audience can be as big as you’d like. The largest audience so far hosted 1,200 people, so, as long as your guests have a strong broadband connection, they will be more than welcome.
(For full-length live events, we recommend your A.V. crew supply two front of house cameras to ensure all of the action is seen by everyone, but all of these details can be finalized upon the booking of your event.)
What is Cyber Mentalism?
… to be clear, ‘Zoom Mentalist’ just didn’t have the same ring to it. Colin has combined his unique style of performance with his electric energy and near-superhuman abilities to create not just the first zoom mentalism show, but the number one virtual show in the category of magic and mentalism for 2020. He truly has become a pioneer in the world of virtual entertainment. This is a show that can take place on any screen in your very own home. Colin will interact with you and your audience live. It’ll feel like you’re part of a live TV show. Using top of the range cameras and studio equipment, Cloud and his team can use ‘the cloud’ to broadcast this revolutionary mind reading show anywhere in the world. Everyone gets a front row seat, everyone is involved in the experience, and everyone will become the stars of the show. It’s the highest quality of zoom entertainment available. Colin Cloud isn’t any old virtual mentalist. Colin Cloud is the Cyber Mentalist.
Safety moving forward?
This is interactive entertainment and interactive mentalism at its best. So, that does mean that your audience are going to be a crucial part of the show. Moving forward, we want to ensure that every audience is completely safe and comfortable. It is therefore crucial that all audience members remained masked and, on stage, 6ft (the arm length of two people) of distance will be respected at all times. Colin Cloud has been vaccinated against COVID-19, but we want to do our part in ensuring the spread of the virus any further. All of Colin’s props will be sanitized and kept in zip-locked bags 24 hours prior to the show and hand sanitizer will be available for all spectator’s invited to the stage. These simple additions will ensure everyone stays safe and the show can go on …
What is a hybrid show?
As life gets back to normal, the future of entertainment has been changed forever as we’ve proven people can still enjoy and engage in virtual mentalism from the comfort of their own home. As you begin planning your next live event, there will undoubtedly be a need to offer as much of it virtually as possible – both for those who can’t attend in person and those who might not feel comfortable being in big groups yet. Hybrid shows, or hybrid entertainment, will combine the best of everything Colin has to offer. Your audience in the room will get to experience the event firsthand and not only will it be broadcast to all of your other guests, with the help of your A.V. team and Colin’s technical director, the virtual audience will become as much a part of the show as those there in person. With over 20 years of live performance experience and hundreds of hours of virtual mentalism and virtual mind reading being presented for some of the largest companies in the world, this hybrid mentalism event guarantees to excel on all levels.
