Any Questions?

Q: What does a typical after-dinner performance look like?
A: Every event is different, but here’s a common format:
Ben will perform anything from a 15–45 minute show blending interactive magic and comedy. The set can be adapted in length to suit your schedule and audience.

Q: What magic will Ben perform?
A: It depends on the event but all of Ben’s material must tick four boxes: Amazing. Funny. Interactive. Inoffensive.
Expect magic that involves the entire audience, mind-reading moments, one-handed Rubik’s Cube solves, impossible predictions, and more. Every routine is designed to impress without making anyone uncomfortable.

Q: Will Ben do a prep call beforehand?
A: Absolutely. A pre-event call is essential to understand your audience, tailor the performance, and confirm all logistics. Ben will also liaise with your AV team to ensure everything runs smoothly on the night.

Q: Does Ben need any special equipment?
A: Just a face-mic, some handheld mics, a small table, and an audience ready to have a great time. Depending on the size of the venue, a live camera feed is preferable. All can easily be discussed on a call.
