For adults
Magic

What is included in the wedding package?

Prices are usually quoted based on a 2 hour performance time. For the fee, I will turn up to the venue and mingle with your guests during the drinks reception, or approach each table and perform some mesmerising magic literally inches away from them!

How far in advance should I contact you?

As soon as possible! Most brides get in touch 9 - 12 months in advance, however if your wedding is on a special date (bank holiday, christmas etc) make sure you get in touch asap! I am can sometimes fit in last minute bookings too, however you may need to be willing to have some flexibility in the performance times so I can fit you in!

Are you able to travel?

Yes

Do you need specific materials or conditions to offer your service?

No

How long is the act?

Typically up to 2 hours, but sometimes 90 minutes may be enough, or you may need a bit more than 2 hours. Get in touch with me and I will be able to advise how long you will need

Do you work alone or do you have a team of professionals?

Alone

Do you do open-air acts?

Yes

Do you charge per hour or per event?

Per event

If needed, would you be able to work extra hours?

Yes

How do you charge extra time?

As mentioned earlier, fees are usually based on a 2 hour performance, however if you have too many guests to be able to perform to in 2 hours, I can quote extra time on the fee, or for much larger functions I can also book a second magician on your behalf

What are the forms of payment?

Payment can be made by cash on the day, a cheque posted 2 weeks before the day, or a bank transfer in the week running up to the date
