1) "What kind of tricks / magic do you do in regards to close up magic?"
When I perform close up magic in a drinks reception or around the tables, whatever the event or occasion, your guests will enjoy a wide range of magic and sleight of hand that will usually include the use of playing cards, ropes, rings, coins, keys and the occasional specially designed prop for good measure!
I may also occasionally ask to borrow an item from a guest, which will of course always be given back to its owner in its original good order!

6) "Do you have public liability insurance?"
It is very much the standard now for entertainers to have public liability insurance as required by most good venues. As a professional entertainer I have full public liability insurance, a copy of which is available upon request or it can also be viewed here:
7) "What if we are having our party at home rather than at a hired venue?"
It really makes no difference, especially where close up magic is concerned as it is suitable for virtually any situation or environment. If you were looking for more of a "stage" performance then I might need to know the size of the room and what the layout will be on the night etc.

8) "How long do you perform when you are booked to perform close up magic?"
Up to 2 hours for most events, such as a wedding, corporate dinner or fair sized party or special occasion.
Sometimes 3 hours for longer events with more guests attending and longer still for an all-day event where there is a continuous flow of people or a very large number expected.
For smaller more intimate parties it could be that an hour to 90 minutes may be all that you require. I'm always happy to give you my suggestion based on guest numbers and any other information that you may feel is relevant.
