Cost

What does a magician cost?

No two events are the same, so I don't sell fixed packages. Tell me your date, where it is and roughly how many guests you expect, and I'll come back with one figure for the whole thing — agreed before the date, with nothing added afterwards.

What people usually book

Close-up set

About an hour of strolling card magic, moving between groups.

House parties, birthdays, small receptions

Full event

Two to three hours, or strolling plus a seated show as the centrepiece.

Weddings, company parties, larger private events

Private lesson

One-to-one sleight of hand coaching, in person around Portland or over video.

Anyone learning card work

What moves the price

How long I'm performing

An hour of close-up is the usual starting point. Longer events, or an evening split across arrival drinks and a seated show, cost more.

How many guests

Close-up magic is performed to small groups at a time, so a hundred guests simply takes longer to reach than twenty.

Where it is

Anywhere in the Portland metro is included. Further out in Oregon or Washington may add travel, and I'll tell you the number before you commit.

The date

December weekends and peak wedding dates go early and are the busiest dates in my diary.

What's included

  • Everything I perform with — you supply nothing.
  • Travel anywhere in the Portland metro.
  • A conversation beforehand about the room and the running order.
  • No stage, sound or lighting requirements for close-up sets.
