It’s important to remember that every performance area and show has its own individuality. If you have any questions that are not answered in the FAQ below, please contact us and we would be happy to help. We hope the FAQ is helpful.
What are your requirements for a stage show?
For larger audiences of over 100 guests, it’s best to have a raised stage of at least 12′ x 8′ for optimal viewing of the performance. For smaller audiences, we can use a performance area without a stage. If we are on a raised stage, we ask that the stage be level, safe and as smooth as possible. We request that the performance area be clear of obstructions such as cables, speakers, podiums, and band or DJ equipment. Otherwise, we are flexible and can work with any other artist to assure a flawless performance that is memorable for everyone in the audience!
What type of sound do you need?
The Magic of Rafael is fully equipped with an 800 watt sound system and microphones that will reach approximately 1,000 indoor guests. For larger audiences, we are able to patch our sound into a larger PA system or DJ system. If you’ve already booked a DJ, audio person, or a band, kindly provide their contact details, so we can collaborate and ensure a successful event.
Do you need any special lighting?
For our stage show, we require optimal lighting in order to ensure a theatrical experience for everyone in attendance. Magic shows are visual, and we can provide a basic 700 watt spotlight to brighten up the performance area.
Where can I seat my guests?
Your guests may be seated no more than 8′ from the stage, if possible. Guests that are seated to the sides of the stage may not be able to visualize the performance as intended. If your event has a dance floor with a large gap between the stage and the audience, kindly send us a picture of the room layout beforehand. This will help us make necessary arrangements.
What is your set-up time?
The set-up time depends on the complexity of the show. If we are performing a larger illusion show, we would like to begin setup at least 90 minutes before the audience arrives.
Do you need a dressing room?
Yes. We will need a private and secure room to store and change costumes, as well as the name of the person at the venue that can direct us to the area. If a room may not be available, let us know so that we can make proper arrangements.
Would you need dinner saved for you?
If dinner will be served to your guests, please make arrangements for two warm dinners to be available for us
Can we photograph and record your show?
Photography and video-recording are both welcomed and encouraged! If possible, The Magic of Rafael kindly asks for a copy of any media and recordings taken of our show.
Can you appear our VIP, CEO?
Yes! The Magic of Rafael strives to create a one-of-a-kind and memorable experience every time. Performance of every illusion is entirely dependent on the individual setting of the venue. Please contact us to discuss several options!
Can you design a special illusion with our company logo or product?
Yes, we can design and manufacture custom illusions for your event. Please realize that this project requires a deposit and, depending on the complexity of the illusions, it can take several weeks or months to complete.
