Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Pretty basic. XLR for a mic and a power cable. After many years of performing I have streamlined to the minimal.
Stage of at least 20x20


What information do you require about a venue?

Location, loading space, tech staff, manager contact.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I will provide sound if needed, lighting I usually rent if needed but this is rare.


How much space do you need to perform?

I can get by with the minimal of space as long as I am not crowded out by the audience - any reasonable stage set up will work. I have done hundreds of street shows so that experience has allowed me to basically be able to set up in a phone booth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

My biggest gig was for the President of Singapore and his family. It was for an autism fundraiser event sponsored by president S.R. Nathan. I was flown in to perform at the gala dinner($10,000 per plate) and to take part in the Singapore River Street festival. Pretty cool I must say.


What's your favourite type of event?

Corporate walk-around (much more interactive), street festivals (thousands of people) and stage shows.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have been performing as a musician/guitarist since the age of 18. I have travelled internationally and have done over 1000 shows.


What makes you different from others offering something similar?

Magic - I create all of my own routines, preferring to avoid store bought effects or the latest flavor of the week from the internet. I am a national champion magician assuring that my magic is cutting edge and unique to my show - you will not see anything in my show done by others.
Music - I do not use an iPad or music stand - I consider this to detract from the stage feel and sight line. All of my music is memorized. I pass out QR code cards with my play list and audience members can text me their requests in real time.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

15-30 mins


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes I do this all the time in festivals.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Polished, professional, easy to work with, unique.


Can what you offer be tailored to the event or the audience?

Yes. I create all of my magic performances from scratch so can custom design a show at a moments notice- from a kids show to a comedy club show and everything in between.
Music-with over 300 memorized songs, I can INSTANTLY adjust to the crowd. From kids to seniors - I cover it all off the cuff. No iPad needed so if the power goes out, no problem...I can play all night by candle light.
