Booking Sam?
Sam performs at corporate events and gala dinners, weddings, private parties, festivals, and theatre shows. He offers roving close-up magic (mingling with guests), intimate close-up shows, and full stage performances. Every booking is tailored to the size and style of your event.
For weddings and major corporate events, 3–6 months ahead is ideal — Sam books out quickly during peak seasons (November–February and October). For private parties or smaller functions, 4–6 weeks' notice is usually enough. It's always worth reaching out early, even just to check availability.
Roving magic typically runs in 1–2 hour blocks during drinks receptions or mingling time. Close-up shows run 45–60 minutes. Stage shows run 45–75 minutes depending on the brief. Sam can also combine formats — for example, roving during pre-dinner drinks followed by a short stage set after the meal.
Yes — Sam is available Australia-wide and internationally. He has performed across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and in 16+ countries including the UK and Europe. Travel costs are discussed as part of the quote for out-of-Adelaide bookings.
Sam provides a no-obligation quote that covers his performance fee, a tailored show structure for your event, and any travel or accommodation allowance for interstate bookings. He carries full public liability insurance. There are no hidden fees — the quote you receive is the price you pay.
Sam's close-up and roving magic is suitable for all ages — from kids to corporate executives. His comedy style reads the room; he adjusts the humour and complexity based on the audience. For events with a mixed age range, roving magic works especially well as everyone gets their own personal moment.
