High season — November and December dates go fast
Kel Modern Magic

Partners

The people behind a booking.

Most magicians are one person with a calendar. That works right up until your date is taken, your room is bigger than one performer can hold, or the evening needs hosting as well as magic. These are the people who make those a solved problem instead of a dead end.

John Ha

Performer, Kel Modern Magic

Close-up and stage. Performs under Kel Modern Magic on the events that need a second skilled performer — a room too large for one act, or two spaces running at the same time. Worked the Fairmont Empress staff gala in Victoria alongside Kel, and has covered events Kel could not take.

Bro Gilbert

Backup performer

Twenty-plus years across corporate events, galas and Christmas parties in the Lower Mainland, blending sleight of hand, comedy and mentalism in one act. The performer Kel hands a booking to without hesitation when a date is already taken — so a scheduling conflict gets you a name and a straight recommendation, not an apology.

Mike Oulton

Vancouver MC · co-founder, Party Pros

Runs Vancouver MC, and co-founds Party Pros with Kel. When an evening needs full hosting woven through the magic — welcomes, awards, games, a room that has to stay lifted from doors to last dance — it books as one entertainment team on one contract, rather than two vendors you coordinate yourself.

Needed — Kel, John Ha, Bro Gilbert and Mike in one frame.

Vendors we work alongside

Not affiliates and not a paid list. These are people whose work Kel has seen up close at the same events, often for years.

Logo needed

VanHattan Entertainment

Agency · Shannon Stumph and Kelly Brock

The agency that has placed Kel on Island and Interior work. The Building Officials Association of BC booked through them twice — River Rock in 2024, then the Delta Grand Okanagan in Kelowna in 2025 — plus an evening at the Sticky Wicket in Victoria and the charity shopping night at Willowbrook. Agencies book on reputation rather than advertising, which is its own kind of reference.

Blooms and Paper

Event styling · Ayame

Event styling and florals. Kel has performed at events Ayame styled, and the rooms she builds are the kind that photograph as well as they feel.

The wider recommended-vendor list — planners, photographers, venues, balloon and MC work — still lives as a blog post from 2023. If this page ships, that list belongs here instead, where someone planning an event would actually look for it. The current list.
