Does this work for a casual office party, not a formal gala?

Yes, and it's the most common setting. Close-up magic needs no stage, AV or setup, so it works in an office lobby or a restaurant back room exactly as well as a ballroom.

Can this double as a team-building activity?

Yes. Roaming close-up magic mixes people across departments naturally, which does more for a room than a scheduled icebreaker.

Have you performed for tech companies before?

Yes, including TELUS, Deloitte, Amazon Business, Kabam Games and Remitly.

The one thing a tech team can't Google the answer to.

Tech teams have seen every trivia night, every escape room, every team-building exercise. Close-up magic in their hands, performed live with no screen involved, is the one thing left that genuinely surprises them.

Why it works

Nothing on a screen, everything in their hands

Coworkers laughing during a table-side card effect at a Vancouver tech company holiday party

TELUS, Deloitte, Amazon Business, Kabam Games and Remitly have all booked this. A team that spends the day in front of screens responds hardest to something completely physical: cards, coins, objects borrowed straight off the table.

It also crosses every team boundary in one room. Engineering, sales and support don't naturally mix at a holiday party, and a shared impossible moment fixes that faster than an icebreaker ever will.

The most common booking. No stage, no AV, works in an office lobby or a restaurant back room exactly as well as a ballroom.

Offsites and team socials

Roaming close-up magic mixes departments that don't naturally talk to each other, faster than a scheduled icebreaker.

No stage needed. It works in whatever space the office party is in.

In their own hands

The card ends up on their palm, not mine. That's the part nobody can explain away afterwards.

“If you are looking for a magician for your corporate or private parties, look no further. Kel charmed us all at our holiday office party.”

FAQ

Straight answers

A typical company event of 50 to 200 guests runs $2,000 for close-up magic, $3,000 for a stage show, or $4,000 for both. Holiday parties are the busiest season for this. Through November and December I book the full evening only, no unbundling, at a flat $5,000, so lock your date early since Q4 books out fast.

No screen. No slide deck. Still can't explain it.
