FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The quote that you receive will be a starting point. Every event and every performance is different with many different variables. The venue, the time of day, the length of the performance, the type of performance, special requests: All of these, and more, go into finalizing the agreed upon fee. Brian will discuss your event, your desires, and your guests in order to come to a reasonable fee for your entertainment needs.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once you contact Brian, he will discuss all of the particulars of your event. You don't need to worry about having a detailed plan, he will ask all of the necessary questions, and will work with you to develop a performance specifically for your guests. His first and foremost concern is helping your guests have a wonderful time, and since every audience is different, every performance will be different... tailored to your guests. Once the details have been worked out, and a fee has been agreed upon, Brian will provide a written agreement. This is simply a document detailing what you have agreed upon, and what both you and he should expect leading up to the event, and during the performance itself.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Brian has been a student of the magic arts for over 40 years. He has performed stage shows, close-up walk around, and parlor shows. He has used his knowledge of magic to create special effects for theatrical productions and student films. He holds a degree in Mass Communications / Film Production, where he learned story structure and pacing that he uses to this day in his magic performances. Brian spent over a decade as a Walt Disney World cast member. During that time, he spoke and performed before hundreds of thousands of guests as a tour guide, an interactive character, and a host. He brings his experience, understanding of guest service, and attention to detail developed at Disney with him to his magic performance. Brian is an author as well. His first novel used his film and magic sensibilities to create an engrossing supernatural fantasy. These same storytelling abilities are at play in his magic.
