Frequently Asked Questions
I hope to answer all the questions here!
How Long Have You Been Performing?
Over 15 years. And somehow the audiences haven't figured out how I do any of it yet. The show has been called comical, creative, and genuinely surprising, which is exactly what I'm going for. There are 90+ five-star Google reviews if you want a second opinion.
Where Are You Located?
Rome, NY. I perform all over New York, the Northeast, and beyond. When you get a quote from me, travel is already factored in, so the number you see is the number you pay.
Are You Any Good?
Most of my clients book me again. That's probably the truest answer I can give. I also attend invite-only magic conventions, have been published in magic trade publications, and have consulted with performance companies internationally. But honestly, the repeat bookings say more than any of that.
How Much Does It Cost?
It depends on the event. A corporate gala looks different from a backyard birthday, and the pricing reflects that. Fill out the Quick Quote Questionnaire (link) with as much detail as you can, and I'll get back to you with a clear, all-inclusive number.
Do you Have any Discounts?
If you're booking multiple shows, I offer a multi-show rate since we're already working together. Those need to be booked at the same time. Cash and check payments also get a better rate since there's no processing fee involved.
Can You Teach Me Magic?
Yes. I offer hands-on workshops for both kids and adults where you'll actually learn to perform real tricks. Not just watch, but do. Reach out and I can tell you more about what that looks like for your group.
Do I Need To Tip?
Not at all. It's not expected and it's definitely not built into the price. But if you insist, I will not argue with you.
What Kind of Shows Do You Offer?
Three options, and they work well on their own or combined:
Stage Show is for larger audiences seated together. Works great for company events, schools, and big family gatherings.
Parlor Show is for smaller groups, usually adults, where everyone is close enough to watch the magic happen right in front of them.
Walk-Around is perfect for cocktail hours and receptions. I move through the room and bring the magic to people wherever they're standing.
A lot of clients combine two formats in one event, and that's often where the night really comes together.

Is a Deposit Required?
Yes. A 50% deposit secures your date. The remaining balance may be paid at any time before the performance or on the event date. Payment options include cash, check, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App, and credit card. A processing fee may apply to credit-card payments.
Do You Perform for Fundraisers or Nonprofits?
I do. Giving back is something I take seriously, and I've worked with a number of nonprofits and community organizations over the years. If you're planning a fundraiser and want to explore what's possible, just send me an email. If I'm available, I'll do what I can to make it work.
I Booked You. Now What?
Now you don't have to think about entertainment anymore. I show up 30 minutes to an hour before the show (sometimes earlier for larger events), and I bring everything with me: tables, props, backgrounds, and audio gear when needed. All I need from you is the space and the people.
