Oakville, Ontario
Family-owned since 1969, Oak-land Ford Lincoln has grown to become one of the top-rated car dealerships in the GTA. Just read some of the 500+ reviews on Google Maps! Like every good dealership, they sell, service, and finance an impressive selection of new and used vehicles. What sets them apart from the crowd is their great customer service.
Every winter they host a holiday party for all of their employees and spouses, to celebrate the year’s success. In 2015 they invited 120 guests to the Oakville Golf Club (a private 9-hole golf club) for the party, featuring after-dinner entertainment by Magician Sam Pearce.
Four hours before guests arrived for cocktails, Sam and his AV technician were hard at work transforming the golf club into a dinner theatre. They supplied absolutely everything needed for the show, at no additional cost to the client. The two-person team set up theatrical lighting, a crystal-clear sound system, and bright blue stage curtains. By the time doors opened and cocktails began, everything was ready to go, and instrumental jazz music was playing in the background.
After dinner and dessert were served, it was time for guests to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.
Sam’s high-energy show captured everyone’s attention from the moment he stepped on stage. The show really got interested when Sam invited audience members to join him on stage and take part in the show. The magician’s squeaky-clean humour brought out the best in the volunteers who jumped into the spotlight.
One of the funniest reactions occurred when Sam invited the company’s General Manager on stage and surprised him by demonstrating the cutting ability of a magical knife, on the Manager’s jacket. The audience roared with laughter as Sam passed a pocket knife through the jacket, and they saw the Manager’s shocked reaction. Moments later, there was a huge round of applause as the jacket was shown to be completely unharmed – the knife really did pass through the jacket without leaving a mark!
Moments like these transformed guests into the stars of the show, and created memories that will surely last a lifetime.
