Is hiring a magician expensive?
It can be, depends whom you’re hiring. The field is full of expensive & cheap & cheerful magicians. Finding the right magician at the right fee for your event can be another headache when organising your event. My advice to you is; pick 3 magicians who you feel will do you proud. Way up their fees and most importantly what they can offer, then go from there. Don’t get bog down with looking upon more than 4 magicians at a time. If you feel the 3 magicians aren’t up to your taste, pick another 3 – and so on. If you’re still having problems picking a magician, come back to my website and I’ll help you out. Is Mister Ree expensive?

Is Mister Ree expensive?
No, I don’t think I am, but what is expensive these days. Expensive to one client can be pretty cheap to another. I’ve many clients and they all say I’m pretty reasonable otherwise they wouldn’t keep booking me. Nevertheless it is the fee, which determines your decision whether to go ahead with booking Mister Ree or not. Personally I would say my fees are sensible and pretty reasonable, I suppose I’m going to say aren’t I. Most importantly I give excellent value with top quality magic by hitting the best fee hopefully to suit your budget. No extra premium for making model balloons for the children if required.

I’ve never booked a table magician before, so can you explain how a magician works at my event?
You’re not the first to think on these lines; having a magician at your party is starting to be a trend. Being a host of your party/event can be stressful. Therefore my role is to take the pressure from you, by keeping your guests amused and entertained with amazing table magic. I simply hop to each table/group performing a little personalise show. It is a great way to keep the day/night flowing, whilst you’re busy catching up with old friends & family. The beauty about magic entertainment, it is not in your face & it is not loud – well my act isn’t.

How far will you travel?
Anywhere including Ireland. Because I’m based in Warrington, Cheshire, 75% of my work is in the North West, but I’ve travelled further a field to perform my skills. I will work anywhere in the UK and in the world where I am required. Just did a gig in Bahrain; wow it was hot. So the answer is – Anywhere.

So how long do you perform for?
It is usually up to you, it’s your event. To give you benchmark, 2 and a half hours is plenty of time to get round.  I don’t charge by the hour, my rates are standard to the event. Therefore if my magic is needed after the required time, I will continue to perform and amaze my punters until I feel I have exhausted your event, without any extra charge. If your event is delayed (especially weddings) you’re covered for me to continue with my role. 
Weddings can be a different ball game regarding times and different packages are available to accommodate.

Are you any good?
It is a question you need to know, but don’t like asking. So save you the embarrassment, I will try to help you with you’re your awkward question. Without putting myself on a pedestal, yes I am. I’ve every confidence with my material and I’ve the experience to cope with all types of clientele. I have the confidence to deliver and leaving the event with my clients satisfied. I hope that has helped you on that sensitive question. 

Am I booking a reliable magician?
Very reliable, I’m proud to say that I’ve attended every event I’ve been booked for in the last 17 years. I do have a Sat-Nav to help me to get to your venue, backed up with A to Z’s. But if any unfortunate circumstances arises that is out of my control, you will be notified asp, with attempts to get a replacement magician. My biggest hurdle when I go to a venue, is the traffic, it is so unpredictable. I always allow extra time on my journey to allow for delays if they occur – fingers cross X. It is a good idea to leave me a mobile contact number– just in case I get stuck or I’m struggling to find you. I’ve come across a few out of sight venues in my time, where I had to call for that final guidance.

What kind of magic do you do?
All kinds. I perform amazing illusions, classic card magic, coin magic, rope magic and even some spooky mental magic. I will use the right material to suit the moment, the punter and the event. My material suits my character & personality. No one will be forced to be involved in my act.

Is your Act Clean?
Yes, very clean. There will be no bad language or no blue material used in my act (the magic circle condemns it) – leave that kind of stuff to the comedians. I know my limits.

Has your Act got humour?
Yes, humour plays a big part in magic. My act is not that false white elephant dry humour, where you feel you need to laugh just to be polite. The secret of humour is timing, therefore I will use humour at the right time in the correct context when I feel it is needed during my act. Remember you’ve hired a magician, not a comedian.
