Travel is built into your quote based on distance. No surprise fees after we
agree on a price.

Comedy magic and mentalism. Close-up magic inches away during cocktail hour, and a high-energy stage show that gets the whole room laughing. I read people as much as I fool them.

About 3 meters wide and 2 meters deep. Roughly enough room for 4 people to stand side by side.

Usually minimum 30 minutes ahead of time for a stage show for set up, check the room, and coordinate with your planner or venue so showtime is smooth.
For strolling magic, no setup time is required.
Not much. A performance space, an audience ready to have fun, and one contact person I can check in with. I handle the rest.
Yes, please do. Just share them with me after at jason.wf.lam@gmail.com. If you post any, please tag me @jellytums. One note: I may use photos and videos from the event for my website and social media.
