1. What platform(s) do you perform on? (Carbonaro)

What platform(s) do you perform on?

This performance looks best when Michael can appear side-by-side with audience volunteers. For this reason, StreamYard - which can livestream just about anywhere (including Vimeo, YouTube, and Facebook) - is the preferred platform for this show, and we would be happy to help set that up if needed. Zoom and others can also certainly work - be sure to specify your platform during booking as there may be an additional “platform discovery” fee of $500 if extra configuration is needed.

How long is the show?

A standard (and strongly recommended) virtual show is 45 minutes in length. However, if you’re looking for a shorter performance, that is totally doable.

3. Does the length of the show affect the fee?

Does the length of the show affect the fee?

The show fee is based on a 45 minute performance - if you opt for a shorter show, that’s no problem, but the fee will not change as the setup and preparation for the event remains the same.

6. Is the show customizable?

Is the show customizable?

Customized magic that is specifically tailored to your product(s), brand, or gift your guests receive in advance can be incorporated into the show. Additionally, if you are looking to incorporate company-branded graphics and backgrounds into the production of the show itself, be sure to ask about our “Enhanced Production” package, which has the look and feel of live television production as opposed to a virtual meeting.

Can we have someone from our team present before your performance?

For sure! The show is often flanked by company presentations. Simply provide your event itinerary during the pre-show call so it’s clear when to be ready to “step out” onto the virtual stage.

10. Can we have a pre-show call with you?

Can we have a pre-show call with you?

Certainly! Each virtual show booking includes a pre-show meeting to discuss any outstanding questions pertaining to show content, tech specifications, etc. If you are looking for more of an ongoing consultation for your virtual event, we recommend our “Enhanced Production” package which includes a dedicated producer who will work with your team in designing your show or meeting from the ground up.

11. Do you have to see the audience?

Do you have to see the audience?

This show is packed with audience engagement so it is important that your guests have their cameras turned on! If your platform is designed in a way where most of the guests cannot be seen, be sure to ask how many on-camera participants are needed for the show during your pre-show call.

15. What precautions are taken to prevent an internet outage?

What precautions are taken to prevent an internet outage?

Great question. The show is broadcast from a device that is hard-wired to a modem to prevent potential Wi-Fi drops and interference from impacting the performance. While widespread internet service provider/power outages are always a possibility, an emergency backup streaming location is usually available.

16. Will you teach our guests a trick and/or host a Q&A after the show?

Will you teach our guests a trick and/or host a Q&A after the show?

Yes! Simply specify that you would like either of these during your pre-show call so we can best structure the show accordingly.

17. Can we pre-record the performance for a webinar?

Can we pre-record the performance for a webinar?

Yes... although magic is always best viewed in a live environment. There is a certain electricity to a live magic show that is often lost during a pre-record unless the footage is streamed in a format that does not appear to be pre-recorded to your audience. (Note that pre-recording would still require interaction with live volunteers.)

18. Can the performance stream to different time zones?

Can the performance stream to different time zones?

A performance in any time zone can be accommodated. Once that time is locked down, an advantage of virtual performances is that audiences can tune in from the comfort of their homes, anywhere in the world, at that time.
