Answers for event hosts, planners, and guests preparing for an evening of shared wonder.
FX performs at corporate and private gatherings where atmosphere, conversation, and shared experience matter. This includes client receptions, executive dinners, leadership retreats, company celebrations, holiday parties, and elegant private gatherings at homes or private venues. His work is designed primarily for adult and professional audiences, with a tone that is discreet, warm, and sophisticated.
FX adapts the magic intentionally to the natural flow of your event. Most often, this takes the form of close-up magic performed for small groups during cocktails, mingling, or between courses.
Depending on the setting and your goals, FX can also perform a short parlor-style or stage segment, for example, a 10-minute closing piece or a 20-minute feature for the full room. Together, we’ll choose the format that best complements the evening.
The experience is designed to support the entire room. While the magic happens up close among small groups, the atmosphere of live astonishment spreads naturally throughout the room, creating conversation, energy, and shared excitement among guests.
When a parlor or short stage segment is included, all guests experience a collective moment together. The balance ensures no area feels overlooked and the energy remains consistent.
FX’s approach is best suited for grown-ups, professional, and mixed-age audiences who appreciate elegance, conversation, and subtle humor. The experience is thoughtful, conversational, and designed for sophisticated social and professional settings. It works particularly well for corporate groups, client-facing events, and private hosts looking for something elevated and tasteful. Read what hosts and guests have said.
Performance time varies depending on the event and format. Many events include 60 to 90 minutes of close-up magic during a reception or dinner. Others combine close-up magic with a short parlor or stage segment. FX will recommend an approach that fits your timeline and keeps the experience feeling natural rather than over-programmed.
Close-up magic requires no stage, microphone, or technical setup. For parlor or stage performances, a microphone can be helpful depending on the room size, but requirements remain minimal. FX adapts to your venue and works with what is already in place whenever possible.
Yes. In addition to close-up magic, FX can perform a short feature or closing piece for the entire room. This may be a standing parlor performance or a brief stage presentation, typically lasting 10 to 20 minutes. This option works especially well as a closing moment or highlight within a larger program.
Availability varies throughout the year. For corporate events, booking several weeks to a few months in advance is recommended, particularly during busy seasons such as year-end holidays. That said, FX is always happy to check availability for shorter notice events when possible.
Pricing depends on the type of event, duration, format, and location. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages, FX provides tailored proposals based on your needs. After a brief conversation, you’ll receive a clear estimate with no surprises or hidden fees.
FX will ask about the event type, guest count, venue, timing, and overall atmosphere you’re aiming for. This ensures the magic integrates seamlessly into your plans and feels appropriate for your audience.
Once you get in touch, FX will respond personally to learn more about your event. From there, you’ll receive guidance on format, timing, and availability, followed by a clear proposal. The process is straightforward, collaborative, and designed to feel effortless.
