FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much do your shows cost?
I offer different packages for different types of shows based on a variety of factors: virtual or in-person, type of event, amount of customization, and so on. Please contact me with information about your event, and I'll give you a customized quote with all your options.
do you do kids shows?
Most of my performances are aimed at older audiences — teens and above. However, there is no inappropriate or mature content in any of my shows, so if kids want to join their parents and watch the show, they will enjoy themselves.
With that said, I have performed hundreds of shows for kids and family audiences, and I will do occasional shows for kids as age 10 and up if I have an opening in my schedule. I can also recommend some wonderful kid-focused magicians in the SF Bay Area.
In addition, if I'm at an event where kids are present — such as a restaurant or wedding — I am happy to entertain them with tricks that they'll understand and enjoy.

how far in advance should i book you?
The farther ahead, the better. During the busy holiday season, you should book at least 1-2 months in advance. During the rest of the year, you are usually safe booking 2-3 weeks ahead of time. However, if you have a last-minute need, feel free to reach out and I will do my best to fit you in.
what forms of payment do you take? what about refunds?
Pretty much all forms of payment: credit card, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, Apple Pay, check, and cash. I can also accept payments via Bill.com, Quicken, and other invoicing systems.
I offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you or your guests not happy with my performance, I will refund all payments made. This has never happened, and I don't expect it to ever happen in the future.

how do i secure a booking?
A 50% deposit is my customary method of securing a booking. However, if your organization can't do a deposit, then a signed contract will usually suffice.
do you travel for shows?
The COVID pandemic has ended most long-distance bookings.
In normal times, I generally limit my travel to no more than 60 miles away from my home base in San Jose. However, I make exceptions for special bookings.
