Holiday party entertainment your team talks about until spring.

Every December, the same thing happens in ballrooms across Vancouver: dinner is lovely, the speeches run long, and by 9pm half the room is deciding whether it's too early to leave. This is how you make sure it isn't that party.

Why magic

Why magic beats the usual holiday party ideas

A DJ gets people dancing, if they were going to dance anyway. A photo booth gives them a picture. Casino tables split the room into gamblers and spectators.

Magic is the only entertainment whose entire job is creating moments between people. It's visual, so it works across every language on a multicultural team. It's clean and family friendly, so it's safe for the office. And it needs zero setup, no AV, no staging, so it works in a restaurant back room, a ballroom at the Fairmont, or your own office lobby.

The evening

What magic looks like at your holiday party

Cocktail hour close-up magic

The most underserved window of the whole night. While your team mingles, I move through the room performing magic in their hands. Departments that never talk end up huddled together asking did you SEE that. That's 1.5 to 2 hours of roaming coverage through cocktails and into early dinner.

Table-to-table during dinner

Every table gets its own personal moment between courses. Nobody is stuck at the boring table, because there isn't one.

The after-dinner show

A 45 to 60 minute show for the whole room, always after dinner. It replaces the awkward post-dessert lull with the highlight of the night, whether your team is 30 people or 300.

MC and magician in one

Need someone to run the evening too? I can host the whole night, handle the welcome, the awards, the prize draws and the transitions, and be the entertainment. One vendor instead of two.

Two guests, a borrowed coin, and no way to account for where it went.

A coin on her own palm, in front of the tree, with nothing else to look at.

Pre-dinner mingling magic was engaging, after-dinner show was jaw-dropping.

December books out early.
Here's the honest timeline.

I'm one performer, and December only has so many Fridays and Saturdays. Every year the prime dates are spoken for by mid-October. If your party is on a December weekend, the earlier you reach out, the more options you have.
