Performance
The same booking, in very different rooms.
A performer who is excellent at a seated dinner may be wrong for a standing reception, and the difference is not talent. Each page below says what the format actually is, what usually goes wrong, and what to budget.

Formats
How the performance is delivered.
- Close-up magicPerformed at arm's length, for small groups at a time. The format with the highest ceiling and the narrowest margin for error.
- Stage showA single held moment for the whole room. The format most often booked for the wrong reason, and the one with the most to lose.
- MentalismPerformance built on thought rather than objects. It travels better than magic across languages, and worse across bad rooms.
- Cocktail hour entertainmentThe hour nobody plans for: guests standing, holding a drink, not yet talking to each other. The highest-value hour to get right.
- Walkaround performanceContinuous roaming performance across a long event, where the entertainment is texture rather than a moment.
Occasions
What the evening is for.
- Corporate eventsWhere the booker is professionally exposed and the audience did not choose to be there. The most demanding brief in the category.
- Luxury weddingsThe one event that cannot be rescheduled and will not be repeated. Everything about the booking follows from that.
- Private partiesSmaller rooms, higher expectations, and a host whose standing among their own guests is what is actually at stake.
- Brand activationsWhere the performance carries a message and a brand's name is attached to whatever happens in the room.
- VIP eventsRooms where the guests are the reason the event exists, and where being handled badly is the only real risk.
- Gala dinners and awardsLong evenings with a fixed running order, where the entertainment's job is to hold a room that has been sitting for hours.
