He was an entertainer first; someone with a real personality. He did more than anyone to make magic popular and part of the public conscience and therefore boosted the value of profession for other magicians.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you like magic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I like the diversity of magic \u2013 there are so many different genres. I can be entertaining staff at their desks one minute and performing on the street the next. It\u2019s that variety that I love.<\/p>\n<p>H<strong>ow many tricks can you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know a countless number of tricks.\u00a0 I can probably do 50 tricks with any type of object \u2013 from cards and coins to handkerchiefs and rope. It is not really the quantity that is important, it is the quality of what you do that is of the utmost importance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favourite type of show?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love performing my classical dove act in theatres; however a room full of smiling children enjoying magic at a birthday party is hard to beat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us something we wouldn\u2019t know about you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I used to be a professional Jockey. But I\u2019m a much better magician than I was a jockey \u2013 that just shows what a terrible jockey I really was!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do people like magic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because it\u2019s both entertaining and intriguing \u2013 they don\u2019t know how it\u2019s done. It\u2019s the secretive element of magic that keeps it alive, despite what people try to expose on the internet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any thoughts on magic and the kid\u2019s entertainment industry in general?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite a changing world, kids still love magic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you like PartyWizz?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the wide variety of entertainment available to book in one place that makes PartyWizz different. It makes the whole process so much easier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How important is live magic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With TV magic people often just assume it\u2019s some kind of camera trickery and so can lose faith in it. Live magic is important as the audience knows that what they see is what is actually happening.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Pat, and how to book him to perform live at your own home or venue\u00a0take a look at his <a href=\"http:\/\/partywizz.com\/pat-fallon\">entertainer profile page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-f798cd3e-b2e3-42ff-8d3f-f736bd185864\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-f798cd3e-b2e3-42ff-8d3f-f736bd185864\" id=\"hs-cta-f798cd3e-b2e3-42ff-8d3f-f736bd185864\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/3811420\/f798cd3e-b2e3-42ff-8d3f-f736bd185864\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-f798cd3e-b2e3-42ff-8d3f-f736bd185864\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" height=\"543\" width=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/3811420\/f798cd3e-b2e3-42ff-8d3f-f736bd185864.png\"  alt=\"Interested in booking Pat Fallon ?\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(3811420, 'f798cd3e-b2e3-42ff-8d3f-f736bd185864', {}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Get to know Pat Fallon Pat Fallon is an internationally know Irish magician and one of the most versatile performers in the country.
