A practical fit
Magic that fits your space
A Manhattan apartment and a private dining room need different setups. Allen helps you plan for the space you actually have.
Apartments & homes
Close-up magic takes very little space. A group show needs a small clear area and a comfortable view for guests. The sofa can usually stay.
Restaurants & bars
Allen visits tables between orders and courses. For a show, choose a time when staff can keep the performance area clear.
Sound & attention
A quiet living room usually needs no microphone. A busy bar may need sound support for a group show. Allen will check the setup with you.
Adults, families & mixed ages
The material suits adult parties and mixed-age gatherings. Share the age range so Allen can choose the right routines for your guests.

Private party FAQ
Plan the surprise with confidence
What kinds of private parties can include a magician?
Adult birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties, holiday gatherings, graduations and house parties all work well. Allen can mingle with guests or perform a show for everyone.
Is close-up magic or a show better for my party?
Choose strolling magic if guests will mingle or arrive at different times. Choose a show if everyone can gather and watch. You can also book both.
Can magic work in an apartment or restaurant?
Yes. Close-up magic needs no stage and works well in small spaces. A group show needs a clear area, good sightlines and manageable background noise.
Will guests be put on the spot?
No. Joining in is voluntary. Guests can take part or enjoy watching, without becoming the joke.
What information is needed for a quote?
Send the date, location, occasion, guest count and age range. If you have a schedule, include when you would like the magic to happen.
