FAQs

Common questions

How much does it cost to hire a magician?

A magician's price depends heavily on the magician's experience and how full the offering is. Michael's bookings range from $500 to $3,000 or more, depending on the event type, length, audience size, and location. For an accurate quote, fill out the contact form and Michael will reach out to talk through what's being planned.

What kind of magic show is best for my event?

The best way to know is to talk through the event on a call, but here's a general guide. Mingling magic works at events where people are milling around (cocktail hours, banquets, receptions): Michael moves group to group performing interactive sleight of hand. A formal close-up show is a structured set for a smaller seated audience, usually up to 20-25 people. A stage show is a theatrical performance for larger audiences, with effects designed to play at a distance.

How do I book Michael?

Fill out the contact form on this site. Michael gets the message right away and reaches out quickly. The next step is a short consultation call where he walks through the event, recommends the format that fits, and answers any questions. From there, Michael sends the booking documents to lock in the date.

Magic for every kind of event

Michael performs at corporate events, weddings, fundraisers, college events, and private parties across North Carolina and beyond.

Events Michael performs at

Most of Michael's calendar is corporate work: holiday parties, employee and client appreciation events, team-building afternoons, end-of-quarter and end-of-year celebrations, milestone parties, networking nights, and trade shows. He is also a regular at weddings and receptions (mingling magic during the cocktail hour is the most-booked play), bachelor and bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, fundraisers and charity galas, college and university events, festivals, banquets, and private parties at homes, restaurants, and country clubs.

Corporate events are the heart of the calendar. Most are weekday evenings, all-adult audiences, and the kind of well-planned event where every detail counts. That fits Michael perfectly.

Where Michael performs

Based in Raleigh, NC. Most weeks Michael is somewhere in the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Morrisville, Apex, Holly Springs, RTP) or in Charlotte. He performs anywhere in North Carolina and well beyond. Has driven hours each way, flown across the country, and performed internationally. Travel cost gets folded into a single flat rate; there are no surprises after the quote.

If your event is outside the state, ask. Almost always the answer is yes.
