Magician in Honolulu

Most of the corporate work in Honolulu belongs to companies from somewhere else. Hawaii is where the president's club trip, the sales incentive or the annual meeting gets held as the reward, so the audience arrives already in a good mood and stays out late.

This is the longest flight I make, and it needs more notice than a mainland date. It also tends to make sense as part of a multi-day booking rather than a single evening. Travel is either built into the package or itemised on the quote, agreed before anything is booked.

What gets booked in Honolulu

Incentive groups and award trips are the core of it: welcome receptions at the Waikiki hotels, luau evenings, and hospitality out at Ko Olina. The Hawai'i Convention Center brings association and medical meetings, and the military and defense community around Pearl Harbor runs an events calendar of its own.

December through the first quarter is the busiest stretch. There is also real Japanese and wider Pacific visitor traffic, and mentalism crosses a language gap better than patter-heavy comedy does, which is worth knowing if your group is mixed.

Getting there

A fly-in date from Milwaukee. Flights and time on the ground are either built into the package or shown as a separate line on your quote, agreed before anything is booked — never added afterwards.
