Close-up sleight of hand
During the strolling portion the performer moves between tables and cocktail groups, performing sleight of hand inches from your guests. It works well during cocktail hour, between dinner courses or at a mixer, because guests do not need to stop their conversations or move to a stage. Small groups gather naturally, and the performance becomes an easy icebreaker for guests who have just met.
A stage show to end the night
The stage show runs 30 to 60 minutes on its own. In the combined format, the performer opens with walk-around close-up work and then closes with a 20 minute stage show that brings everyone together for one shared finale. The show is described as customizable, so talk through your audience, your timeline and any moments you want to highlight when you request your quote.
Pricing and performance length
The performance starts at $600 for your event. The price shown is the vendor's published starting price; the final quote is confirmed with the vendor based on your date, guest count and details. This price covers one event on a single day. The vendor has not published how many hours it includes, so the exact time is confirmed in your quote before you book.
The listing gives a general gig length of 30 to 180 minutes, which covers everything from a short stage set to a full evening of strolling close-up work and a finale. The format and running time you choose are agreed with the vendor in your quote, so share your schedule and the parts of the night you want covered.
Experience and reviews
The performer started performing illusions at seven years old and now offers an award winning, customizable show. Hosts rate him five stars, with one corporate client calling the team very professional and entertaining to all of the guests, and a dinner party host describing the performance as the highlight of the night. Past bookings include a corporate holiday event in the Los Angeles area.
Travel and setup
The performer travels up to about one hour from his home base and provides his own equipment, so most venues need very little preparation. The listing states that technicality is never an issue. For a stage show, plan a clear spot where every guest can see, and let the vendor know about the lighting, room size and any microphone already available at your venue.
Planning tips
Schedule strolling close-up work for times when guests are mingling, such as cocktail hour or the first part of a dinner party, and save the stage show for after the meal when everyone is seated. Share your guest count, the type of event and your timeline when you request a quote, so the performer can recommend the format and length that fits your evening.
Who this is for
This booking suits hosts planning a corporate party, client dinner, holiday celebration, birthday or wedding reception who want guests talking long after the event. Strolling sleight of hand keeps a cocktail hour lively, and the stage finale gives the whole room one shared moment, making it a flexible choice for groups of many sizes in homes, restaurants and event venues.
Why strolling entertainment works
Strolling performers suit events where guests are standing, mingling or seated at separate tables, because the entertainment travels to them instead of asking everyone to stop and face a stage. At corporate mixers and client dinners it gives colleagues a shared moment to talk about, and at private parties it fills natural lulls, such as the wait before dinner is served.
