On the floor
Booth magic that sells
Caleb performs short, repeatable close-up sets right at your booth — and weaves your product and talking points into the effects. A crowd gathers to see the impossible; a bigger crowd gathers to see the crowd. Your team works the warm audience magic just created.
No A/V. No power. No footprint. Just floor space and a stream of people stopping at your booth instead of walking past it.
On the stage
Open or close your general session
Bookend your conference with a stage show that plays to up to 500 attendees — magic, mentalism and clean comedy that wakes up a morning session or sends the closing night out with a bang.
It's the best way to incorporate your company message, or to introduce a new product or service — announced not from a slide, but from inside a moment nobody can explain.

Trade show & conference FAQ
How do you attract traffic to a trade show booth?
Of all the trade show booth traffic ideas — candy bowls, spin-the-wheel, giveaways — nothing stops foot traffic like the impossible happening in your booth. A magician creates a crowd, the crowd creates curiosity, and your team works a warm audience instead of chasing cold walk-bys. Attendees stay for the trick and leave with your pitch.
What is good conference entertainment?
The best conference entertainment does double duty: it energizes the room and reinforces the content. A 30–60 minute magic and mentalism show opens a morning general session with a jolt or closes the conference on a high — with your theme, message, or product built into the effects.
How does booth magic actually drive traffic?
A crowd gathers wherever the impossible is happening — and a crowd draws a bigger crowd. Caleb performs short, repeatable close-up sets at your booth and weaves your product or key message into the effects, so the audience that gathers hears your pitch while they're leaning in.
Can you incorporate our product or messaging?
Yes — that's the specialty. Stage shows are "the best way to incorporate your company message, or to introduce a new product or service." Send your talking points ahead of time and they become part of the magic.
What do you need on a trade show floor?
Nothing but floor space. Booth and strolling magic require no A/V, no stage, and no power. For general-session stage shows, a mic and screen visibility for up to 500 attendees.
Do you work multi-day conferences?
Yes — full-day and multi-day booth engagements, plus evening reception entertainment, can be combined into one booking.
