Straight answers, no runaround.

One performer covers the night: cocktail hour close-up, table-to-table at dinner, then a 45-minute stage show. Bookings run $2,000 to $5,000 plus GST. For 50 to 200 guests that is $2,000 for cocktail hour mingling, $3,000 for the stage show, or $4,000 for the full evening with both. Over 200 guests books at $5,000 for full coverage. November and December are premium months that sell out first, and through that season the full evening only is booked, at $5,000.

Weddings run $1,500 to $2,500 plus GST. Cocktail hour close-up magic starts at $1,500, and most couples book the full evening at $2,500.

Bachelorette parties run from $1,500 plus GST for a close-up magic set built around your group.

Two-hour reception coverage starts at $2,500 plus GST. Full-night coverage starts at $4,000 plus GST. Both are starting points, and larger galas quote up.

The stage show alone runs $1,500 plus GST. A full night of close-up magic plus the stage show runs $3,000 plus GST.

Six to twelve months for October through December. Q4 dates regularly sell out by August. Outside peak season, six to eight weeks is usually enough, and last-minute dates are worth asking about because cancellations happen.

You get a name, not an apology. Bro Gilbert has twenty-plus years across Vancouver corporate events, galas and holiday parties, and he's someone I trust completely and work with regularly. For a room too large for one performer, or two spaces running at once, John Ha also performs under Kel Modern Magic. Either way, ask about your date — if I can't cover it, I'll tell you who can.

Close-up magic in your guests' hands during cocktail hour, table-to-table as dinner starts, a stage show after dinner, and MC hosting throughout: agenda, awards, timing. One person covers the whole night instead of a patchwork of separate vendors.

50 to 500 or more for close-up mingling, since it works one small group at a time. The stage show is built for 50 to 200 guests in one room, and scales up with an appearance-plus-reception format for larger conventions.

A performance space around 8 by 8 feet, a wireless microphone, and basic stage lighting for the stage show. Close-up magic needs nothing at all: no AV, no green room, no set change.

Yes. PAL Insurance, certificate PRW3479, underwritten by Lloyd's. Certificates naming your venue as additional insured, including $2M coverage, are available on request.

Yes, and it removes the cost of a separate emcee. Agenda, awards, timing and the transitions between them, all handled by one person who was already booked for the entertainment. Booked alongside a performance, hosting is included in the full-evening rate. Added standalone, evening MC hosting is $1,000.

Always. No off-colour humour, no jokes at the audience's expense, no dated material. Volunteers are made the stars of the show, never the punchline. It plays clean across every culture and age group in the room.

Vancouver and the Lower Mainland are home base: downtown, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, the Tri-Cities, the Fraser Valley, Whistler and the Sea to Sky corridor, and Vancouver Island by ferry. Travel is built into every quote, never a separate line item. Fly-in dates elsewhere are possible for the right event.

Yes. Logos appearing in impossible places, predictions tied to executive announcements, and material built around your industry are all things that get built into a corporate show on request.

A magician does impossible things with objects. A mentalist does impossible things with thoughts: reading minds, predicting choices, influencing decisions. Both are part of every booking, woven together rather than priced or booked separately.

Yes, and small, intimate rooms are some of the strongest settings for close-up magic and mentalism. The reactions get louder, not quieter, when the group is small.

Yes. Whistler, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island by ferry and the BC Interior are all workable, with travel built into one all-in quote rather than billed as a separate line item.

That's exactly where magic shines. It's visual, so language doesn't matter, and it plays the same for every generation and background in the room.

Yes, and it's the most popular corporate format: close-up during cocktails and dinner, then a 45 to 60 minute stage show after the meal. For a typical event the combined rate is $4,000.
