Booking

Congratulations on your decision to hire Phelyx to perform at your event. Despite high critical acclaim and a rich,
25 year career in interactive magic, it is still very much an honor to be selected over the many talented magicians
and entertainers in the world.

Booking Phelyx is easy! First, let's discuss the type of performances Phelyx offers.

What kind of magic are we talking about?

The tradition of magic is alive and well. Television has certainly
given a strong boost to the industry, and recently, Major films like,
The Prestige and, The Illusionist have pointed a bright spotlight at
magicians again. There are many different kinds of magicians. The
really good ones specialize in one type or variety of performance
and have signature effects.

Phelyx is an interactive magician, or "strolling magician".
"I believe magic is much more entertaining when it is performed
close-up and when audiences are invited to interact with and feel
what is happening." Phelyx says.

Strolling entertainers are a strong and wise addition to events like yours. The purpose of your event is to bring
people together in a morale boosting, enthusiastic, interactive celebration of a common purpose. A skilled and
talented strolling entertainer is trained to entertain in a manner that re enforces this purpose. During dozens of
customized performances, ranging from five to ten minutes, Phelyx facilitates introductions from guest to guest,
excites less enthusiastic attendees and/or their guests, and is willing to re enforce the purpose of the event with
creative additions to his magic.

A stage entertainer can be very fun but they require a complete interruption to your event. Stage performers
also have staging and microphone requirements, and the need to herd your guests to seats. A strolling
entertainer arrives ready-to-entertain, and offers a less formal, more warmly personal and memorable experience
(some experiences will last a lifetime), and your guests will be talking about the event for months as they
anxiously look forward to the next one!

How much does it cost?

There are a large number of variables in pricing a performance. The number of guests, travel and
accommodations, time of day, and time of year are some considerations. While it is difficult to guess how much it
will cost to have Phelyx perform at your event, before we've even met, we can work to get you a quote right away!

A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve the date of your event. Blocking these dates prevents us from
booking Phelyx for other shows. You understand.

There is a base minimum. Phelyx spends more than two hours getting ready for every performance and has
prepared for your event for 25 years! It is safely assumed that Phelyx's daughter will soon charge her own
"surcharge" for having to put up with Phelyx's manic preparations and practice sessions. So far, however, this
has not been added.

How about a taste?

Phelyx performs publicly about once per week and you are wholly encouraged to come experience a
performance, first-hand! Let us know you're coming and we'll see if we can buy your ticket!

quote.

Does Phelyx make non-profit appearances?

Phelyx does make some not-for-profit appearances for The
Denver Mayor's Office for Education and Children, for The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and a variety of fundraisers
and good causes. There are some requirements your
organization will need to meet to qualify and some expenses
must be covered, but you are still welcomed to contact us to
see what we can do!
