Thank you for the great review! It was a fun party. I thoroughly enjoyed performing. All the attendees were great and it was a thrill for me to entertain them with magic. BTW: I know you were working extra hard behind the scenes making sure all went smoothly. That was impressive.

We hired Magic-Sparkes for our Christmas party, and it was amazing! All of the guests had such a great time and he made a point to visit every table and do so many fun and cool tricks. He finished the evening with a bigger performance, it was the perfect way to end the show. If you're thinking of hiring a magician for any occasion, I would recommend Magic-Sparkes!

Magic Sparkes did a great job for our company party. Everyone had a great time.
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My performances start at $350 for home parties for 10 or less guests. Price is determined by number of guests, travel distance, type of event (i.e. strolling, or table or stage or a combination) and time requested to perform.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My goal is to customize my performance around my client's needs. For example, Bachelorette parties have different needs and expectations than birthdays. Birthdays have different needs over Halloween parties and Halloween parties are obviously a lot different from my convention and corporate gigs. Clients care deeply about their guests or employees having a great time ... I absolutely get it and because I get it, I happily adapt to their needs, (which is partially why I have so many repeat clients).
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, (IBM), The Society of American Magicians, (SAM). I also regularly attend magic school (a real Hogwarts for adults). I'm a student of Jeff McBride Mystery School in Las Vegas. I have been a performer since I could talk. I have performed magic across the US, Europe, cruise ships and of course, Las Vegas.
