So, MR. MAGIC, tell me . . . .

1. How did you do that? My best answer is, "Don't ask!"

2. What kind of magic do you do? My magic combines lots of audience participation, comedy, colorful props, and many surprise twists!

3. Do you use live animals in your shows? No. BUT, I have some very lively un-real animals (especially a raccoon and rabbit).

4. Do you perform for children or adults? My biggest demand is for children's birthday parties, of which I've performed hundreds. I also have shows at nursing homes, and holiday parties for kids and adults.

5. Do you do balloon sculptures? No, I don't balloon sculptures >>> but I can pull a rabbit out of my hat, and I'm even working on a new routine where I pull a hat out of a rabbit!

6. Do you dress up as a clown, or do you wear a costume? No. BUT, my attire generally contains a magic image or theme.

7. Do you travel very far? Sometimes I'll take an airplane trip, but when that happens I'm not available to do any shows! Actually, I perform in the Merrimack Valley-Southern New Hampshire area, but have been known to venture an hour or so farther out on request.

8. What do you charge? The fee varies somewhat depending on the nature of the request, but the typical birthday party is not under three figures.

9. How far in advance should I contact you about booking a show? It really depends. Some folks have booked a show by calling the night before the event, while others have been unable to use me despite calling weeks in advance. My best advice is to call as soon as you think you might be interested, even if you don't have an actual date chosen yet.

10. Do I need to do anything to prepare for your arrival, such as provide a table, make extra room, etc.? No, you only have to sit back and wait for me to arrive. I provide my own table, and I require very little in terms of space, lighting, nourishment, or applause.

11. Is it OK to take pictures or videotape your show? Sure, I'd be flattered! (Just don't try to sell it on eBay!) Send me pictures that you've taken of my shows and I'll post them here on my web site if you like !

12. Do you provide references? Certainly! You may call virtually anyone for whom I've performed. If you can't read my mind, I'll be happy to give you one or two names and phone numbers. If the reference soundsTOO glowing, rest assured that it is NOT my mom!
