I've scared and partied it up with corporate clients including:
Company parties & client receptions
Honest dishonesty.
Excellent company.
Your team has survived enough presentations. Let the impossible happen without a slide deck. Con-game magic for corporate events in Charlotte gives colleagues and clients a reason to gather, laugh, and talk about something besides work.
The hustler's art is a persuasive thing: fast hands, smooth talk, and a decision that seemed so sensible a moment ago. In interactive demonstrations, your guests follow the action, test their instincts, and discover just how convincing the wrong answer can be. It's corporate entertainment with a wonderfully unreliable narrator. Your guests can save the serious business for Monday.
Tell me about the audience and the occasion. A company celebration and a client reception can call for different tones and setups. We'll discuss the humor, interaction, performance format, and timing before booking. If you'd like a supernatural turn, ask about close-up bizarre magic and my comedy séance show. The spirits remain a management problem.
Before we conjure anything
A few details before the deception.
A useful corporate entertainment inquiry starts with the people, the room, and the schedule. You can text them directly; no presentation required.
Your colleagues & the show
Choose con-game swindles, bar bets, dice magic, and comedy magic with props and cards. A séance can be part of the night, or left out entirely for a traditional-style magic show. Tell me the purpose of the event and the tone you want; performances are for adults 18+.
The time & the guest list
Performance lengths are adjustable; I usually spend one to two hours at a client party. A séance requires two hours. I can perform for events of any size. For a séance, I suggest 10–15 guests, or as many as your dining table can comfortably accommodate.
A station, or walkaround?
Walkaround-style magic is available. I generally recommend a dedicated performance station so guests can join me on their own terms throughout the party. Share your reception, meal, and speech schedule so colleagues and clients can take part at a suitable time.
The room & the setup
I ask for three chairs and a table to work from, or a coffee table with ample audience seating in front and to the sides. I do not use a sound system. We’ll confirm arrival and setup timing before booking.
A few perfectly reasonable questions
Before you
invite me in.
What is con-game magic?
It's theatrical entertainment built around the hustler's art: sleight-of-hand, smooth talk, con-game swindles, bar bets, and dice magic. Guests follow the action and test their instincts. The goal is a shared experience with laughter and surprises.
Can the performance fit our company's tone?
Tell me about your colleagues or clients and the kind of humor your event calls for. My work is for adults 18 and up, with comedy and audience interaction. We'll agree on the tone and performance format before booking.
Can you perform at a client reception or company dinner?
Yes. I offer walkaround-style magic, though I generally recommend a dedicated performance station so guests can join in on their own terms. A typical party booking runs one to two hours, with adjustable performance lengths. For an intimate meal, see close-up and dinner party magic.
What does corporate magic cost, and how do we book?
$500 per hour. Parties outside the Charlotte, NC area have a two-hour minimum. Text or call with your date, venue, and guest count for availability and your booking total. A signed agreement and booking retainer reserve your date; the agreement sets out the payment schedule and event terms. Until then, we're just flirting with the supernatural.
