Scripts, frameworks and AI tools for every event host.
Are you a working magician or mentalist looking to expand into paid MC work? The Modern MC is a 35-page, practical guide written specifically for performers like you - people who are already confident onstage but need help writing professional-level MC scripts for corporate, government, and association events.
Over the past 30 years, I've worked as an MC at events around the world - USA, Hong Kong, South Africa, New Zealand, and every major city in Australia. I've MC'd major conferences, government forums, and association meetings, often weaving in magic or mentalism where appropriate. Now I've distilled that experience into a concise and powerful resource designed to save you hours of frustration and help you say "yes" the next time someone asks if you can MC.
This edition of The Modern MC includes all the material from the original version - proven frameworks and example scripts for the four most common MC tasks:
- Opening an event
- Introducing a speaker
- Thanking a speaker
- Closing an event
It also includes a major new section on using AI tools like ChatGPT to help you write and improve scripts. You'll learn:
- How to write effective prompts to get the best results
- How to generate strong first drafts using fill-in-the-blank prompt templates
- How to review and refine your own scripts using AI
- What to do - and what not to do - when using these tools
Even if you've never used ChatGPT before, this guide walks you through everything step by step. The skills you learn can also be applied to other areas of your work, such as writing themed routines, customizing presentations, and more.
If you're building a full MC business, I recommend pairing this with my other book: The ExpertMC Toolkit and Resource Manual. That guide covers business development, content, advice and marketing.
But if you're ready to take the stage as an MC and just need help with what to say and how to say it - this is the book you need.
Buy The Modern MC today and you will:
- Save time with ready-to-use frameworks and prompts
- Avoid embarrassment with tested and professional script structures
- Open up a new income stream with confidence and clarity
