Virtually Impossible
A live virtual magic show over Zoom. Interactive mind reading for remote teams, hybrid events and audiences in three time zones at once.
MAGIC CIRCLE MEMBERยทLIVE FROM DUBAI 
What happens during Virtually Impossible
Not a performance streamed at your team. A show that happens in their own hands, in their own homes.
Most virtual entertainment is a camera pointed at somebody doing their normal act, and people watch it the way they watch a webinar. This is built the other way round. Your team are asked to find objects in their own rooms, write things down, and make choices nobody else can see. James then reads those choices back to them. The magic happens on their side of the screen, not his, which is the only thing that survives a video call. Cameras stay on because people want to see each other react, and that is the part managers tell him about afterwards.
Who books Virtually Impossible
Rooms that are not rooms, where the usual entertainment options do not exist.
What is included in a Virtually Impossible booking
Everything technical is on his side, so nothing lands on your IT team.
How many people it works for
The honest limits, because virtual has a different maths to a room.
The interactive version works best up to about 100 participants, where James can call on people by name and everybody believes they might be picked. Between 100 and 500 it becomes a broadcast show with selected volunteers, which is still strong but less personal. Above 500 the chat becomes the audience and the format changes again. James will tell you which version you are booking rather than promising the same experience at every size, because a team of 30 expecting to be named and a webinar of 800 need two different shows.
Why virtual entertainment usually fails
You have probably sat through a bad one. Here is why they fail.
Virtual acts fail for three reasons. The performance is passive, so people open their email. The magic happens on the performer's side of the screen, so it looks like video editing and nobody believes it. And the technical quality is a laptop webcam in a spare room, which tells your team exactly how much the booking cost. Virtually Impossible was built against all three. The audience does the work, the effects happen in their own hands, and the broadcast comes from a proper setup. That is why cameras stay on.
One show, every office
Here is the business case in one paragraph.
An in-person act reaches the office it is standing in. A virtual show reaches Dubai, London and Singapore at once, for one fee and no travel. For companies with staff spread across the Gulf and Europe, it is often the only entertainment the whole business ever shares. It also removes the two things that kill a booking: a venue, and a date everybody can travel to. James performs it live from Dubai, so a late afternoon slot there covers the European morning and the Asian evening.
What your team need before the call
Almost nothing, and that is deliberate. The more you ask people to prepare, the fewer of them turn up ready.
Each person needs a laptop or tablet with a working camera, a pen and a piece of paper, and a normal room. That is the whole list. James sends a one-line joining note for your calendar invite so nobody arrives without the paper, and he asks for cameras on, which most teams manage once they know something is going to happen to them. There is no software to install, no account to make and nothing for your IT team to approve. If your company blocks external Zoom links, he joins yours instead.
Building your company into the show
The reveals can carry your names, your numbers and your year, agreed before the day rather than improvised.
A prediction sealed at the start of the call turns out to be your new product name. A word chosen freely by somebody in Singapore matches the line on your internal campaign. A number nobody has said out loud is the target the team hit last quarter. James collects the material on the tech check and rehearses it, because a custom moment that misfires is worse than no custom moment at all. He has built this kind of work for Coca-Cola, Amazon, Microsoft and FTI Consulting, and the same approach transfers to a video call without losing anything.
Running it across three time zones
Dubai sits in the one part of the day that works for almost everybody.
A late afternoon slot in Dubai is late morning in London and early evening in Singapore, which is why so many Gulf companies use it for their all-hands. James performs live from Dubai, so nothing is pre-recorded and nobody in a later time zone gets a repeat of a show the others watched fresh. If your business spans further, he will tell you honestly which offices are being asked to join at an unreasonable hour, and whether two shorter shows would serve them better than one long one.
