Peoria, IL
Magician in Peoria
Caterpillar's home town, and a convention calendar built around heavy industry.
Peoria is a straightforward drive down I-39, close enough that a weeknight corporate date works without an overnight. I can leave Milwaukee in the afternoon, perform in the evening and be home the same night, which keeps the cost of bringing me in sensible for a single event rather than a full weekend.
What gets booked in Peoria
Heavy industry sets the calendar here. Caterpillar and its supplier network run dealer meetings, service-award dinners and customer appreciation nights, and the Peoria Civic Center pulls state association conventions that need an evening piece after the sessions end. OSF and the medical district add hospital foundation work. Close-up magic suits the receptions these events are built around, where people are standing with a drink and nobody wants to sit through a stage set.
Getting there
About 3.5 hours by road from Milwaukee. That is a regular run, and travel is either built into the package or itemised on your quote, agreed before anything is booked.
