What to expect when hiring Jim

If you've never hired a magician before, it's natural to wonder what the process looks like. Here's a straightforward walkthrough of what happens when you reach out to book Jim Straight for your event.

Step One: We Talk About Your Event

It starts with a conversation. You can reach out by phone, email, or through the contact form on this site. I'll ask you a few simple questions: What kind of event is it? How many guests are you expecting? What's the venue like? What are you hoping people walk away feeling? Do you want close-up magic? A stage show? Will you want customized magic?

There are no trick questions and no pressure. The goal of that first conversation is just to make sure I'm the right fit for what you're planning.

Step Two: You Get a Clear Proposal

Once I understand your event, I'll put together a straightforward proposal that outlines exactly what I'll do, how long I'll perform, and what it costs. No surprises, no hidden fees. I never ask what is your budget. If you have questions, I'm easy to reach and happy to talk through anything.

Step Three: We Lock It In

Booking is simple. An agreement and a deposit hold your date. From there, you don't need to think much about the entertainment. That part is handled.

Step Four: A Quick Check-In Before the Event

In the days leading up to your event I'll follow up to confirm the details, arrival time, point of contact, and anything else that's helpful to nail down. I show up early, ready to go, and I work around your schedule.

Step Five: Your Guests Have a Great Time

This is the part I care most about. Every performance is interactive, engaging, and built around the people in the room. My job is to make your event more memorable, and that's exactly what I show up to do.
