Magician in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City is a flight rather than a drive. I keep the travel simple: one performer, gear that goes in a case, no crew and nothing to freight. The cost is either built into the package or itemised on your quote, agreed before anything is booked.

The market here is energy, aerospace and the state itself. Oil and gas companies downtown, the Air Force and FAA operations out at Tinker, and a long calendar of state association meetings and charity galas. Edmond and Norman account for most of the private bookings.

What gets booked in Oklahoma City

A lot of Oklahoma City work takes the same shape: a ballroom, a plated dinner, an awards programme that runs long. I do my best work in the hour before that programme starts, moving table to table while people are still finding their seats, rather than competing with a podium.

Energy company holiday parties book early and tend to be generous. State association conventions at the convention centre downtown are steady through spring and autumn, and there is real appetite here for entertainment that works without a stage or a sound check.

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.
