frequently asked questions




Why should we hire you?

If you have not seen me perform before then I am happy to meet with you to show you what I can do. If you have seen me in action you will already be on the booking page!

  

When is the best time to have you at our wedding?

This really depends on what else you have going on. Generally it's at the wedding breakfast (meal), as that is when I can entertain most people. Another very popular time is during photos when many people are left standing around. And some people like me there for when the evening guests arrive.




We are having a disco. Some of our guests are deaf, or don't speak English, is that a problem?

Not at all. I have performed magic for people from all walks of life and know enough tricks to cater for anyone. So loud music is fine as lots of my magic is purely visual.




Can you entertain children?

I have been performing in restaurants for years and know a thing or two to amaze the kids should there be any at your event. It's not uncommon for me to entertain kids at a wedding and end up with a small bunch following me around. However I don't do children's parties as my magic and humour are more suited generally to adults.




How much does it cost?

The all important question! There is a full price list for performing at weddings on the  "Your Wedding Magician" page of this site, and again for "Your Corporate Magician". For all other events you can find prices on the "Your Party Magician" page. If your happy with the price then just contact Daniel with as much information as possible e.g Day, Time, Length of performance and where. Daniel's prices are better than most and if not he will always endeavor to beat any other quote you may have had.



How far in advance should we book you?

If you're planning an event in peak season (June-September) then the answer is as soon as possible. I do sometimes get cancellations so there is no harm in emailing me if it's short notice.




Can you provide references?

I sure can! You can check out my Comments page for some, and if you would like to hear from anyone without my interference many of my clients have agreed for me to pass on information for you to contact them.




I have checked around and found someone cheaper, why should we pay more for you?

Like everything in life you get what you pay for. If someone is quoting you £40.00 for the same event then you have to wonder what kind of magician they are, and what kind of service you will get. Will they be on time, are they any good at what they do. I try to be competitively priced and will always endeavour to beat other quotes you may have had.




What if you have to cancel?

In the highly unlikely event that I can not make your event I will give you as much notice as possible. If, however it is very short notice I will go out of my way to arrange cover of the same standard performer as myself, even if that comes at my own expense.


How do we book you?

Just call or email me. All I need is a contact name, address and phone number. If you require an invoice then I need to know who to make it out to and where to send it.If you also let me know the venue and time you would like me there that would be great.
