Q: How much do your services cost?
A: There is no set cost for a program; it all
depends on your needs. Cost of a program depends
on the length of your event, the type of show
requested (close up, walk around, parlor or stage),
and the month of the year. If you have a very
limited budget, I am open for negotiations, especially
in exchange for advertising. For a free quote,
please fill out my contact form with as much
details about your interests as possible and
I will personally get back to you within two
business days.
Q: What kind of magic do you perform?
A: I have been entertaining at private parties, weddings, corporate events, and weddings for almost twelve years. I honor classical magic, but much of my material is original and unpublished. Levitating eggs, random objects vanish in a puff of smoke, drawings come to life, and live goldfish appear from thin air… while members of the audience are holding my wrists. My magic is clean, unique, and custom tailored. All my shows involve a lot of audience participation.
Q: Do you guarantee your services?
A: Yes I do. All of my clients receive a contract
and invoice prior to the scheduled show. I offer
a 100% money back guarantee, no questions asked.
I am very confident in my abilities, and I love
what I do. A quality good or service should always
come with a warranty.
Q: How do you compare to other magicians in the area?
A: Not all magicians are equal. Some magicians
are dedicated to magic while some do it only
for the money. I provide my services for two
reasons: First, I love people, psychology and
business. Second, I’m putting myself through
college.
I honestly can’t compare myself to other
magicians because we are not providing the same
service.
Q: Give me one good reason why I should book you instead of Joe Shmo.
A: Alright. If you book Joe Shmo, you get a Joe Shmo quality show with no guarantee, no contract, balloons, puppets and corny jokes. If you book me for your event, you take no risk, you get quality entertainment with original material, and your guests leave your event shaking your hand and thanking you for a classy evening.
Q: Isn’t magic only entertaining for children?
A: The exact opposite tends to be true: Adults typically enjoy my material more than children because children haven’t developed logical reasoning skills yet. The purpose of a magic show is to demonstrate that the impossible is possible. Younger children have yet to develop such a level of comprehension as they can’t thoroughly distinguish between what is possible and what isn’t. Thus they cannot possibly appreciate magic to the extent of adults. Nonetheless, children do love magicians, but for different reasons.
Q: Do you use fire in your show?
A: No. I can use fire for certain effects but fire isn’t necessary: I prefer not to include any effects in my show utilizing real fire unless otherwise requested. I strongly advise against using fire for indoor events.
Q: Is your magic real?
A: The magic that I perform is accomplished through natural means: by applying principles of psychology to warp your perception of reality. My magic is real, but only in your mind.
Q: We’re trying to launch a new product, can you design a magic trick around our concept for an upcoming trade show?
A: I have created many customized tricks in the past, some of which are still in my act today. I would need to set up an appointment with you or your organization and discuss our options.
Q: We’re a non-profit organization; can you do a show for us for free?
A: I would love to help you make your event a success. Depending on your circumstances, I might be willing to exchange my services for advertising, or contact an armature magician for you. I cannot guarantee show dates for free clients.
