frequently asked questions

What age group is your magic show for?

My shows are regularly enjoyed by children as young as 3 through the teenage years.

Many Google reviews mention that not only do kids of all ages have a fantastic time, but the parents end up laughing just as much.

How long is a WonderPhil Magic Show?

For birthday parties, I offer 30, 45, and 60-minute programs.

For schools, daycares, libraries, festivals, and other events, shows are typically 45 minutes, but can be customized to fit your schedule.

If you’re unsure which length is best, I’m happy to recommend what works best for your group.

We've seen your amazing magic shows before. Will you perform a different show for our event?

For birthday parties, I perform my signature birthday show — a carefully crafted, high-energy program that consistently delivers big laughs and unforgettable reactions. It’s very different from the shows I present at festivals, camps, libraries, and theatres.

If some of the kids have seen the birthday show before and you’d prefer something different, just let me know when booking. I can absolutely customize the program and introduce plenty of new magic to keep things fresh.

How soon should I book the show?

The sooner, the better — especially for weekends and summer dates.

Most parties book 4–8 weeks in advance, and popular dates can fill even earlier. That said, if your event is coming up quickly, reach out anyway — last-minute bookings are sometimes possible.

Do you perform outside of the Greater Toronto Area?

Yes! While many shows are in Toronto, I regularly perform throughout the GTA and surrounding areas — including Mississauga, Vaughan, Oshawa, Oakville, and beyond.

Most nearby locations don’t require a travel fee. If your event is farther out, fees will be discussed in advance: no surprises.

How much space do you need?

No stage required ????

The show is designed to fit comfortably in living rooms, basements, community halls, and classrooms.

So long as there is room for the audiene to sit, facing me, there is room for an amazing magic show. 

An ideal setup would be: 

  • About 3 metres wide

  • About 2 metres deep

  • Audience seated directly in front (rather than a wide semicircle), and seated on the floor tends to work best. 

 

 

Do we need to prepare anything?

Once you book, I’ll send a few simple setup suggestions to help everything run smoothly.

But essentially — you provide the audience and a small performance space, and I’ll take care of the rest.

I bring everything needed for the show and make the process easy from start to finish.

Are you insured? And why is this important?

Yes — fully insured.

Many venues require this, and it’s an important sign of a professional entertainer. You can feel confident knowing everything is handled properly and responsibly.

 

Can we take photos and videos of the show?

Absolutely — please do!

These moments are special, especially when your child helps during the show.

Just ask anyone taking photos to avoid blocking views or distracting others from the performance.

If you share photos or short clips online, I appreciate being tagged:

For videos longer than 2 minutes, please request permission before posting. 

What are your hours?

If your event is happening and I’m not already booked — I’m available ????

Weekend afternoons are the most popular time slots, but weekday shows (schools, camps, daycares, special events) are also available.
