What platform(s) do you perform on?
The preferred platform for this show is Zoom, although Webex and others can also 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. For highest production value, be sure to ask about the “Enhanced Production Package”, which can be streamed live just about anywhere.
Read MoreHow long is the show?
Piff’s standard virtual show is 60 minutes in length. However, if you’re looking for a shorter performance, that is totally doable.
Read MoreHow many guests can attend the performance?
In the virtual world, an audience of any size can be accommodated! With that said, certain meeting platforms have size limitations… feel free to reach out for platform recommendations.
Read MoreWhat do our guests need to be able to attend the performance?
Your guests will simply need an internet connection and a device capable of streaming video, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone. That, and a desire to have fun!
Read MoreIs 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.
Read MoreCan you host our meeting and/or break up your performance?
Absolutely! Hosting a virtual event and/or making frequent interstitial appearances throughout is a common request and easily accomplished.
Read MoreCan 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.
Read MoreCan 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.
Read MoreDo 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.
Read MoreCan you involve specific participants or clients?
Definitely! All recommendations of company “celebrities”, big personalities, and other VIP guests are welcomed - every attempt at incorporating them will be made.
Read MoreWhat if someone doesn’t want to participate in the show?
Not a problem at all! Some people are camera-shy, and anyone who is unwilling to participate will not be required to.
Read MoreWhat 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.
Read MoreWill 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.
Read MoreCan 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.)
Read MoreCan 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.
