150+ five-star Google reviews. PCAM 2026 Gold Medal winner, Comedy Magic.
A real business, not a guy with a deck of cards
Twenty-five years, a PCAM 2026 gold medal for comedy magic, and 150+ five-star reviews. When a corporate event planner is putting their name behind a booking, that's the difference between a safe choice and a gamble.
Branded materials, a real insurance certificate, and a performer who's already worked with McCarthy Tétrault, RBC and Teck Resources. This isn't someone's side hustle.
A DJ gets them dancing. A photo booth gives them a picture. Magic gives them each other.
Three ways in
Close-up mingling
Cocktail hour is the coldest room of the night, a hundred and forty people drinking wine and a different audience every fifteen minutes. Close-up magic in their hands turns that cold room warm fast. 1.5 to 2 hours of coverage.
The stage show
Forty-five to sixty minutes after dinner. Volunteers are made the stars of the show, never the punchline. No off-colour humour, no jokes at the audience's expense, no dated material.
MC hosting
Agenda, awards, timing. One person holds the night together, and it removes the cost of a separate emcee.
Real corporate events

One person. The whole night.
Close-up magic during cocktails. Table to table as dinner starts. A 45 minute stage show after. MC throughout. No patchwork of vendors, no dead air.
The buyers who book this
HR managers, office managers, executive assistants and event planners at law firms, banks, tech companies, mining companies and hotels. The sweet spot is a corporate event of 50 to 200 guests, and the format scales from a 20 person executive dinner to a 500 person convention floor.
The rooms this actually runs in
Ballrooms at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, the Fairmont Pacific Rim and the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Conference floors at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Holiday parties at the Hyatt Regency, Parq Casino, the Terminal City Club and the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Banquet halls like Aria. Destination events at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler and, across the water, the Fairmont Empress and the Inn at Laurel Point.
Each of those rooms behaves differently, and that is the part that takes twenty-five years rather than a good trick. A convention floor needs a performer who can hold a mic and a run of show. A yacht club dinner needs someone who can work a room of forty without a stage at all. The material adapts; the timing discipline does not change.
Greater Vancouver is the home turf: Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Coquitlam and the Tri-Cities, North and West Vancouver, Langley. Beyond that, Whistler, the Fraser Valley, Victoria and Vancouver Island, and destination corporate events elsewhere in Canada. Travel is quoted inside one all-in number before you book, never billed back afterwards.
What the industry said in 2026
At the Pacific Coast Association of Magicians championships, three awards in one weekend: the Gold Medal for Comedy Magic, the Most Novel Magic Award, and the Tony Eng Memorial People's Choice Award. That last one is voted by the audience rather than the judges, which is the one that matters for a room full of your colleagues and clients.
Earlier recognition includes Close-up Magician of the Year from the Fraser Valley Magic Circle, the Leon Mandrake Award for Showmanship and Creativity, and the Murray Award.
The awards are useful shorthand when you are justifying a booking to someone who has not seen the show. The repeat bookings matter more: McCarthy Tétrault five years running, and BLG, Osler and Norton Rose Fulbright all back on the calendar. Nobody rebooks entertainment out of politeness.

Straight answers
Most corporate bookings run $2,000 to $5,000 plus GST, depending on format and guest count. For a typical corporate event of 50 to 200 guests: $2,000 for cocktail hour close-up magic, $3,000 for the stage show, $4,000 for the full evening with both. Events over 200 guests book at $5,000 for full coverage. November and December are premium months and they sell out first. Through that season the full evening only is booked, at $5,000.
Your guests will not remember the food. They will remember this.
