Question 1

How much does a corporate magician cost?

Accepted Answer

A corporate magician typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000+ depending on event size, services, location, and date. Zach Michel’s packages start at $1,500 for a single service (close-up strolling magic OR a stage show) and $2,500 for both, with custom quotes available for galas of 200+ guests or peak-season holiday parties.Pricing reflects Zach’s experience as an award-winning entertainer and cruise ship headliner, performing for corporate events, private functions, theaters, and major brands across the country.

Question 2

Who has Zach Michel performed for?

Accepted Answer

Zach has performed for major brands and organizations including Amazon, Apple, Disney, AT&T, Snapchat, Live Nation, Loma Linda University, and more. His performances have taken him from corporate events and private functions to theaters, casinos, and cruise ships across the country.

Question 3

What does a corporate magician actually do at a company event?

Accepted Answer

A corporate magician keeps your guests engaged across every part of the night — strolling close-up magic during cocktail hour, a full interactive show after dinner, and MC hosting between segments. Zach performs all three in a single booking, which means no dead air, no awkward gaps, and no patchwork of vendors. Most clients book the full-night experience for galas, holiday parties, conferences, and product launches.

Question 4

What areas does Zach Michel serve?

Accepted Answer

Zach performs throughout Northern Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and the greater Midwest, including Chicago, Rockford, Milwaukee, Madison, Dubuque, Davenport, Cedar Rapids, and Des Moines.Zach travels throughout the United States and beyond for corporate events, private events, theaters, cruise ships, and other special events. Any necessary travel arrangements will be discussed upfront when putting together your quote.

Question 5

Do you offer emcee hosting along with the magic?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Zach hosts the full evening, handling welcomes, transitions, award presentations, and energy management between segments. Booking magic and emcee hosting together eliminates the cost and coordination of a separate emcee, and keeps the night flowing in a consistent voice.

Question 6

How far in advance should we book?

Accepted Answer

As early as possible is always recommended. Popular weekends and holiday dates can book several months in advance. Zach also travels frequently for performances and cruise ship contracts, so if you have a date in mind, it's best to reach out even if all of your event details aren't finalized yet.

Question 7

What type of performance works best for my event?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the atmosphere you're looking to create.Strolling close-up magic is perfect for cocktail hours, receptions, networking events, and anywhere guests are mingling. Zach moves throughout the room performing interactive magic and mind reading just inches away from your guests. It's also a great icebreaker and gets people talking. A stage performance brings everyone together for a high-energy show featuring comedy, illusions, sleight of hand, mind reading, impossible predictions, and audience participation.For the complete experience, you can combine both.

Question 8

Can the performance be customized for our company or event?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Zach can incorporate your company, event theme, executives, employees, products, or other details into the performance. This helps make the entertainment feel specifically designed for your event rather than like a show that could be performed anywhere.

Question 9

Is the show appropriate for a corporate audience?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Zach's performances are clean, professional, and designed to entertain a wide range of audiences. Audience participation is a big part of the experience, but guests are never embarrassed or made the punchline. Instead, volunteers become the stars of the show.

Question 10

What setup or AV does Zach need?

Accepted Answer

Strolling magic requires very little setup. For stage performances, requirements vary depending on the venue and audience size. Generally, Zach will need a clear performance area, appropriate lighting, a professional sound system, a wireless microphone, and the ability to connect show audio to the venue's sound system. Zach can work directly with your venue, planner, or AV team to make sure everything is ready before the event.

Question 11

Does Zach carry liability insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Zach carries liability insurance and can provide a Certificate of Insurance to your venue or event planner when requested.
