Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Because we offer so many different types of shows we do not have a standard pricing system. We offer walk-around, close up, stand-up and stage shows. We also perform large stage shows for up to 20,000 people that includes lights, PA system, curtains and someone floating in mid air or appearing from seemingly nowhere. We design each show for each client. We discuss your wants, needs, and budget. We then make suggestions and design a show that will give them the absolute BEST & MOST ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOUR MONEY

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We set-up a 10 min call. Listen to what you want, ask a couple questions, suggest different options and discuss budget. We then put together a couple of scenarios for you to choose from and fine tune them as needed. Every party and event is different so we design each show for each client

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

theater, trade school, acting, magic workshops, customer relations and computer training and over 20 years of actual touring and performing experience. I was lucky enough to actually be trained by a professional entertainer and toured as a stage manager and assistant for years before the torch (or in my case the Magic wand LOL) was passed down to me. I have been trained in every aspect of magic performance from performing, lighting, sound, and staging to actual building and design of sets, and magical apparatus and Illusions. Most of my shows are completely original and offer one of a kind illusions

What types of customers have you worked with?

Families, businesses, military, churches, schools, fairs, festivals, civic groups, retirement and assisted living facilities, and so much more. I make a joke that if you have a type of situation that you think is unheard of, Then I have probably worked it!

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I also provide educational programs for schools, and other groups that address anti-bullying, self esteem, kindness and tolerance. I was one of 5 people in the country doing this type of work in the 90s and 2000's. I traveled the country with my show and performed in over 3500 schools in over 30 different states. I helped thousands of kids and adults to understand bullying and tolerance and taught them what to do if they were having a problem. I still perform these shows during the Fall-Spring months

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I will set-up a ten minute phone call for every quote. CALL ME!. For most people this is their first time hiring someone. I can answer all your questions and once I have a better understanding of what you want, I can help guide you through the process. The more information you can provide the better I can design the show for your every need. And most important make sure they offer a 100% guarantee!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Budget Budget Budget. After all the frills, videos, pictures and reviews it still comes down to Budget. with a quick phone call and a couple of questions I can design a show that will usually fit your needs, wants, and more importantly your budget. If I have an idea of your low and high end of your budget I will gladly design a show or package that will give you the most impact and entertainment for your dollar!
