Is this kids birthday magic or something different?+
Very different. This is sophisticated close-up magic and mentalism for adult parties. Think a dinner in Beverly Hills, not a kids party in a backyard. For a kids party, Dylan's
birthday show is the right act.
How much space do you need?+
For walk-around close-up, zero setup. Johnny works guest to guest, table to table, with no props or staging. For a parlor show he needs room for your guests to sit or stand facing one direction: a dining room, a living room with the furniture moved, or a garden patio. He has performed in hotel suites, beach houses and vineyards and adapts to your space.
How long do you perform?+
Walk-around bookings are typically 1.5 to 2.5 hours. Parlor shows are 30 to 45 minutes. For a classic three hour dinner party, the most popular format is 90 minutes of cocktail walk-around plus a 20 minute seated piece between courses.
What is the investment?+
It depends on the format, the hours, the guest count and travel. Larger estate events and proposals scale with complexity. Send your date, guest count and format preference and you will have a precise quote within 24 hours.
Where in Los Angeles do you work?+
Everywhere. Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Santa Monica, Malibu, Pacific Palisades, Pasadena, San Marino, South Pasadena, Hollywood Hills, Studio City, Encino, Calabasas, and all of the Westside and Eastside. Orange County and San Diego are regular too. Travel fees apply outside the LA metro.
Do you do surprise proposals or gifts?+
Yes, and with great care. Johnny has engineered proposals where the ring appears as the final moment of a routine performed for both partners, and surprise birthday reveals where one guest becomes the focus. These need coordination 2 to 4 weeks before the event and a planning call.
How far in advance should we book?+
For weekends in holiday season, Thanksgiving through New Year, 3 to 6 months. For spring and summer dinner parties, 4 to 8 weeks is typical. If your date is soon, call or text and you will get a straight answer on whether it is open.
