FAQ

1. What kind of events do you perform at?
I perform at corporate events, non-profit galas, and milestone private parties.
2. What kind of magic do you do?
I perform both mingling close-up magic, and a stage comedy show. With both, the magic feels like it's happening in real life. Everything is quick, direct, and interactive, with lots of laughs.
3. How much does it cost to hire a magician?

Like actors and singers, magicians vary wildly in specialty, talent, and relationship to money.

Three broad pricing tiers cover most of the market.

1.

Local and part-time magicians

These acts usually specialize in performing for young children: birthdays, daycares, school fairs. Magic is often their side-hustle. Colorful, friendly and built for young audiences. Lovely for a backyard, a risk in a ballroom or boardroom.

Typical fee: under $750

2.

Established professionals

These entertainers perform full time, for audiences with higher expectations: corporate events, weddings, milestone celebrations.

Performances are entertaining and polished, and the logistics are handled smoothly. One thing to watch out for: a lot of material at this level is shared across the industry, though some performers are far more original. Ask performers in this range what makes their act unique. The best of them , have their own approach to performing, and are easy to talk to (and work with).

Typical fee: $1,500-$5,000

3.

Custom-tailored experiences

These magicians build the magic around the flow of your event. The performance is shaped to elevate the atmosphere and highlight the moments that matter most. That often means pieces built from scratch to honor your VIPs, deliver your message and tie into your theme.

Typical fee: $5,000-$15,000

Outliers exist at both ends. Beginners still building an act can be well below tier one. Household names and giant touring productions can run well into the six figures.

My own rates

I work in the second and third tiers. For more intimate local events, my fees range from $2,500 to $5,000, based on the season, the size of the crowd, and how the date fits in my calendar. For customized events, large crowds, and fly-outs, they range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on how much is built from scratch and how much of the event it covers.

What I love most is designing custom magic that blows away guests who have seen it all.

You can fill out the form below to get pricing for your event. You will receive one all-inclusive flat rate, and the amount on the invoice is the exact amount on the quote.

If you are planning something you want people talking about for years, let's talk.

4. Is your show personalized?
Yes. I'm a patent-holding magic inventor, and my custom magic is one of the things I'm most known for. I can tailor the magic to your event, your VIPs, and your message. For example, a guest's face can replace the king's or queen's face on a souvenir playing card.
5. How far in advance should I book?
On average, people contact me 3 to 8 months before their event, but I try to accommodate both last-minute and farther-out events when I can.
6. How long do you perform?
Strolling can run anywhere from an hour to multiple days, depending on the size and nature of the event. My stage show can be done in 10 to 15 minute blocks spread across the event, or as one 30 to 60 minute set.
7. What about kids?
The show is built for adults who have seen it all. That being said, every routine is clean, so a few younger guests in the mix are not a problem. If you are planning a wedding, mitzvah, or a corporate family event with mixed ages, you are in the right place. If you are looking for a just-for-kids show, I would recommend reaching out to a children's performer.
8. How far do you travel?
I perform up to two fly-outs per month, in the USA, the Caribbean, or Europe. The rest of my performances are closer to home in the Northeast.
9. What did you do before going into magic full time?
Before magic took over my life nearly twenty years ago, I built websites for law firms, taught acting, performed improv comedy, and headlined NYC venues as a comedy songwriter.
10. Are you available / How do I book you?
To check availability, fill out the form below. If I'm available, I'll ask a few follow-up questions to make sure we're a good fit. If we are, I'll send over a proposal with a clear expiration date and next steps. I usually reply within a few hours.
