Frequently Asked Questions
I've never booked a magician - what do I do?
If you are leaning towards having magic at your event, the best, easiest and free way to move forward is to reach out directly to Ian. Magic can fit into nearly every event - and some ways better than others. A short phone call allows you to see how magic can be best put into your event, and also allows you to get details fast about rate, experience and any other questions you may have.
What types of magic do you do?
I perform professionally as a strolling (walk around), close-up, parlor and stage magician. For parties 2 - 25 people, close up works great. For larger parties, parlor magic works perfectly. If you have a huge event and need me to weave through the crowd for an hour or several, I can do that too. It depends on your event. :)
If I want to move forward, how do I book you?
Booking is easy through common electronic payment types like Zelle, Venmo and Paypal. Credit Cards are also accepted. I generate a simple contract that details the party, time and location.
Do you have custom options? How much does that cost?
Yes - I will often create props from photos of the guests, and guests of honor, which then are put directly into the show. This makes every show I do unique to the party I am performing for. There is an additional cost depending on how much customizing you want to do, but I would say about 95% of the shows I do contain at least one customized routine. It makes things super special for everyone.
What is your magic show like?
My magic show is a mix of close up and parlor effects, based on the size of your party. I perform with cards, coins, photographs & small props - and also make the show about everyone in the room. The experience is highly collaborative, extremely interactive and fun! There are jokes, gags and heartfelt moments - magic just has a way of being great entertainment, and I strive to provide you and your party with a one-of-a-kind magic experience you will never forget. When using custom props made from photos of your party guests and guest of honor, the experience becomes even more special.

Will you pretend you are a stripper so we can surprise out guest of honor?
While I have been asked to do that - I am a professional magician and like to stay to what I know. I have surprised guests of honor by setting up before they get to the room. When the party leads them into the room - they see a full magic show ready to go - and that works great as a surprise!
Are you insured?
You bet! If you need me to provide my proof of coverage (known as a COI) for your event, I have that emailed to you, or the person who needs to file it.
What is a Magician Member of The Magic Castle and are you one?
A Magician Member of The Magic Castle is someone who has auditioned as a magician to gain membership to The Magic Castle. The Magic Castle is a private magic club in Hollywood California that functions as a restaurant and place to see magic. There are various performance theaters to watch close up, parlor and stage magic, and also other spaces to see Magician Members perform their custom routines. Yes, I'm a member. :)
What do you do as resident magician at The Aster?
As resident magician at The Aster, I perform at member and public events in strolling (walk around) and cabaret magic in the hotel's cabaret room. My cabaret shows are open to the public, so check my website if you would like to attend one. The Aster is located at the historic Hollywood and Vine intersection in Los Angeles. :)
