What performing
requirements does Julian James have?
If you book Julian to perform his
close-up mind magic
in a reception or banquet setting, for example, no requirements are
necessary at all. As long as there are people present, Julian will create a
sensation in the room without any set-up or staging whatsoever. He
will 'mix and mingle' with your guests in a way that generates a
truly magical and compelling atmosphere.
The only consideration for Julian's close-up mind magic
is a suitable level of background noise. Since this form of
entertainment is based upon the communication between guests, he is unable
to perform in this setting if loud music is playing. Julian does not and will not
compete against the loud volume of live bands or speaker systems.
Background music set to a low level is perfectly acceptable. Please
consider this carefully when booking Julian for your event.
For stage shows, such as award ceremonies and
large-scale product launches, an amplification system with a wireless
microphone is required, in
addition to a raised platform and adequate lighting. These
considerations with be discussed with you in much further detail once you've provided
more specific information about the event you are holding.

does it cost to book Julian James?

performance fees are based on a variety of factors such as the
location of your event, the type of entertainment format you require and
the number of guests/clients present. An accurate quotation can only be

entertainment packages to
choose from, which will be set at different price points.
Customised shows, such as product launches, require
Julian to script his presentation to specifically address the features
of the product or service being showcased. This requires a creative/developmental
process that takes place usually several weeks before the day of the
event. In such circumstances, an additional fee my be applicable.

We have had cheaper quotes from other
entertainers. Why is this?
Well of course you
have! There's no surprise there. There are lots and lots of 'performers'
offering low fees for their services. But there are far fewer who are truly exceptional at
what they do. Most of the performers offering low rates are not
professional entertainers. Most of these individuals work another job
and perform only as a hobby. And it shows. A low fee usually indicates a
low level of professionalism, and a low level of experience.
If you were to visit
a specialist orthopaedic consultant, for example, you'd expect to pay
the consultant a professional fee because you would be consulting with
someone who is highly trained in a very specialised area of expertise.
In the same way,
Julian James provides a very
unique service. He has dedicated his life
to honing the special skills that allow him to provide an experience
that is not only absolutely professional, but one that makes a powerful
and lasting impression every single time.
Trying to cut corners
on professionalism will only be detrimental to the success of your
event, and may reflect poorly on you as the decision maker.
