When it comes to event entertainment, most blogs talk about the usual suspects: DJs, live bands, and photo booths. But if you’re looking to create a truly unforgettable experience, it’s time to think beyond the basics. Unique entertainment options like a cigar roller or magician can add a sophisticated yet fun twist to your event, leaving your guests talking about it long after the last dance.
At US Poker and Casino Parties, we specialize in bringing unexpected and unforgettable entertainment to your event. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, or private party, we’ll help you surprise and delight your guests with something they’ll never see coming. Let’s dive into why these unique entertainment ideas are worth considering—and uncover some lesser-known tips and insights that most blogs don’t talk about.
Why Unique Entertainment?
Most events follow a similar formula: cocktails, dinner, dancing. While that’s great, it’s also predictable. Adding a unique entertainment element like a cigar roller or magician can:
Create a buzz: Give your guests something unexpected to talk about.
Enhance the atmosphere: Add a touch of sophistication and intrigue.
Engage your guests: Provide an interactive experience that gets everyone involved.
But here’s what most blogs don’t tell you: unique entertainment isn’t just about wowing your guests—it’s about creating shareable moments. In today’s social media-driven world, having something truly unique at your event can generate organic buzz and keep your event alive online long after it’s over.
The Allure of a Cigar Roller
What Does a Cigar Roller Do?
A cigar roller is more than just an entertainer—they’re an experience. Picture this: a skilled artisan sits at a beautifully decorated station, hand-rolling premium cigars right before your guests’ eyes. The aroma of fine tobacco fills the air, and guests are invited to watch, learn, and even enjoy a freshly rolled cigar.

Why It Works
Sophistication: A cigar roller adds an air of elegance and exclusivity to your event.
Conversation Starter: Guests will gather around to watch the process and ask questions.
Personalized Touch: Offer custom-branded cigars as a unique party favor or keepsake.
What Most Blogs Don’t Tell You
Pair It with a Whiskey or Bourbon Tasting: Elevate the experience by pairing freshly rolled cigars with a curated whiskey or bourbon tasting. It’s a match made in heaven.
Custom Branding: Many cigar rollers can create custom bands or labels for your cigars, making them a unique and personalized takeaway for your guests.
Non-Smokers Love It Too: Even guests who don’t smoke will be fascinated by the artistry and skill involved in cigar rolling.

Perfect For
Weddings: Impress your guests during cocktail hour or as a late-night treat.
Corporate Events: Add a touch of class to networking events or client appreciation parties.
Private Parties: Elevate birthdays, anniversaries, or milestone celebrations.
The Magic of a Magician
What Does a Magician Bring to Your Event?
A magician isn’t just for kids’ birthday parties. A skilled professional magician can captivate audiences of all ages with mind-blowing tricks, sleight of hand, and interactive performances. Whether they’re mingling with guests during cocktail hour or performing a full stage show, a magician adds an element of wonder and excitement to your event.

Why It Works
Engagement: Magicians are masters of interaction, drawing guests into their performances.
Versatility: They can perform close-up magic, stage shows, or even virtual magic for hybrid events.
Memorable Moments: Your guests will be talking about that “how did they do that?” trick for weeks.
What Most Blogs Don’t Tell You
Close-Up Magic Is a Game-Changer: Unlike stage magicians, close-up magicians perform right at your guests’ tables or during cocktail hour. It’s intimate, interactive, and leaves a lasting impression.
Custom Tricks: Many magicians can tailor their performances to your event, incorporating your branding, inside jokes, or even your wedding vows into their act.
Virtual Magic Is a Thing: For hybrid or virtual events, magicians can perform mind-blowing tricks over Zoom or other platforms, making them a great option for modern events.

Perfect For
Weddings: Keep guests entertained during downtime or as a unique reception activity.
Corporate Events: Break the ice and create a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
Private Parties: Add a touch of whimsy to birthdays, anniversaries, or holiday gatherings.
How to Incorporate Unique Entertainment into Your Event
Pair It with a Theme
Unique entertainment works best when it complements your event’s theme. For example:
A cigar roller pairs perfectly with a vintage speakeasy or Great Gatsby theme.
A magician can add a touch of mystery to a masquerade ball or casino night.
Timing Is Everything
Think about when and where the entertainment will take place:
Cigar Roller: Ideal for cocktail hour or as a late-night activity.
Magician: Perfect for mingling during cocktails or as a post-dinner performance.
