Performance Details
What type of magic do you perform?
I specialize in close-up and walk-around magic, which is perfect for cocktail hours, receptions, and intimate gatherings. I also offer stage performances for larger audiences.
How long is the performance?
Performance length varies by package. Most close-up/walk-around performances are 1-3 hours, while stage shows are typically 20-30 minutes. Custom durations can be arranged.
What do you need from the venue?
I need adequate space and lighting for the performance, 15-30 minutes for setup, and free parking. For outdoor events, a covered or indoor backup space is recommended in case of inclement weather.
Can you perform outdoors?
Yes! However, a covered or indoor backup space is required in case of inclement weather, as some magic props are sensitive to wind and rain.
Customization
Can you customize the performance for my event?
Absolutely! I work with each client to tailor the performance to their event theme, audience, and preferences.
Is your magic appropriate for all ages?
Yes! My performances are family-friendly and engaging for audiences of all ages.
Photography & Video
Can guests take photos or videos?
Photography and filming require prior permission. Please request permission in advance. Posting to social media requires explicit written permission.
Cancellations & Changes
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please review our cancellation and rescheduling policies for detailed information. In short, events can be rescheduled once at no charge with 14+ days notice.
What happens if there's bad weather?
For outdoor events, we'll coordinate an indoor alternative or adjusted plan. See our Force Majeure policy for details on circumstances beyond our control.
