1. Performance Duration Tailored to Your Event
When you book a magician, one of the first inclusions is the duration of the performance. Depending on your event format, you may choose:
Close-Up Magic (1–2 hours): Roving, interactive magic performed for small groups, perfect for cocktail parties, networking events, and weddings.
Living Room-Style Shows (30–45 minutes): An intimate performance for smaller audiences in private settings.
Stage Performances (20–60 minutes): A structured, high-energy show designed for corporate events, gala dinners, and large audiences.
The length and structure are matched to your schedule to keep guests engaged without interrupting the natural flow of the event.

2. Performance Format: Roving or Stage Magic
Your booking includes a choice of performance format:
Roving (Close-Up) Magic: Ideal for weddings, private celebrations, or cocktail receptions. Guests experience the magic up close and personal as the magician mingles throughout the event.
Stage or Feature Show: A spotlight performance that captures the attention of the entire room, often including music, storytelling, and psychological demonstrations.
This flexibility ensures the magic complements — rather than disrupts — your event.
3. Music and Atmosphere for Stage Shows
For stage performances, music is included as part of the experience. Carefully selected tracks build atmosphere, punctuate illusions, and create the pacing needed to keep audiences engaged. This transforms the performance into more than just “tricks” - it becomes a fully staged entertainment piece.

Special Add-Ons: Items like photo opportunities, highlight reels, or bespoke illusions on request.
