General Questions

Every event is different, which is why every quote is too. Guest count, vibe, what you are picturing for the night. Send those details over and a number comes back fast. Nobody is going to make you fill out a form with seventeen fields.
Close up magic. Cards, coins, mind reading, and a few things that genuinely resist categorization. It happens inches from your guests, in their hands, occasionally with their own belongings. A woman is standing there with a glass of pinot grigio and then something impossible happens and she grabs her husband's arm. That is more or less the job.
No minimum, no maximum. The first thing Liam wants to know is how many people are coming, not because there is a cutoff but because it changes everything about what format makes sense. A dinner of twelve is a completely different show than a gala of three hundred. Both are great.

Born and raised. Performs locally and nationally, but Denver is home. If you are planning a corporate event, Bar Mitzvah, wedding, or milestone birthday in Denver or anywhere in Colorado, you are in the right place.
Summer weekends and holidays go fast. Sometimes embarrassingly fast. If you have a date in mind, sooner is the honest answer. Last minute occasionally works out, and it is always worth asking.
Cancellations within 14 days of the event are accepted without issue. After that, any deposit is forfeited. That said, Liam is a reasonable human being who would rather find a solution than create a problem. If something comes up, reach out. Most things are workable.

Bar/Bat Mitzvah Questions

A Mitzvah is one of the few events that puts a thirteen year old, their grandparents, the cousins nobody has seen since the last Mitzvah, and about forty teenagers all in the same room and expects everyone to have a blast. Most entertainment picks a lane. Close up magic does not have to. It just works, on everyone, immediately.
Strolling close up magic during cocktail hour is the usual format. Moving group to group, ten or fifteen minutes at a time, then on to the next cluster. By the time dinner is served the room has already been through something together. A stage set for the full group is available too. Most Mitzvah families end up doing both.
Think Pixar. The humor works on every level without talking down to anyone. The seven year old at the table and the skeptical grandfather standing at the bar are both having exactly the same reaction. Liam has been performing specifically at Bar and Bat Mitzvahs for five years. Getting that balance right is the whole thing.

Yes, and they usually end up being the centerpiece of the moment everyone talks about on the drive home.
You chat with Liam about the event, sign a quick contract, and he reaches out within two weeks of the date to check in on details. That is genuinely the whole process. Nobody is going to send you a thirty page rider.
Bar and Bat Mitzvah bookings start at $750. The final number depends on performance length and what the evening needs. Send a date and a few details and a real number comes back quickly.

Milestone Birthday Questions

Music is beautiful but it stays in the background. A photo booth is fine until someone has to pack it up. And clowns are, frankly, a choice. Magic is interactive, funny, memorable, and unlike anything else anyone is going to book for this party. The air in the room is actually different when it is happening.
30ths, 40ths, and 50ths are the big ones. Each one gets its own shape depending on the crowd, the vibe, and whatever the host has in mind. The customization options are genuinely extensive.
Yes. A name, a memory, a specific detail about that person. With a little lead time those things get woven into the performance in a way that feels like it was made for this exact night and not recycled from a bag of general party tricks. That is usually the part people bring up the next morning.

Liam loves a surprise. Whatever the planner wants works. The one thing worth knowing is that for strolling close up magic, a quick introduction to the group when he arrives makes the whole thing land better. He will walk you through exactly how to handle it.
For most birthday parties, strolling close up magic during cocktail hour or dinner is the right call. Small groups, in the moment, nobody has to sit down. If the headcount calls for a stage set, that is available too.
Pricing starts at $750 and scales from there based on event length and what is involved. Most milestone birthday bookings land comfortably in that range.

Wedding Questions

Cocktail hour, almost every time. Guests have arrived, drinks are in hand, and nobody quite knows where to stand yet. That window was practically designed for this. The ice breaks in about thirty seconds. Conversations that start over a card trick have a funny way of lasting the rest of the night.
No. Cocktail hour and the reception are the right windows for this. The ceremony is not one of them.
Yes. Liam has a full collection of love themed magic built specifically for weddings. Tricks where the message is the marriage itself, a couple of well placed zingers along the way, and routines like the Anniversary Waltz that end with a keepsake the couple actually takes home.

The most common version of it goes something like this. The crowd felt more energetic and in the moment than expected, and guests kept coming up afterward to say how much they loved it. Which is a nice thing to hear at your own wedding.
Yes, and genuinely preferred. Coordinators are welcome to reach out directly ahead of the date. The more coordinated everything is, the better the night goes for everyone.
Wedding bookings start at $750. A signed contract and deposit hold the date.

Corporate Questions

That concern is completely fair for most magicians. Liam is not most magicians. He is classy, quick, and the kind of performer that leaves every group feeling like they just witnessed something that was made specifically for them. The budget concern tends to resolve itself once people see what they actually got.
Every corporate booking gets treated with class and a healthy dose of Liam's wit, but the show itself gets built around the client. Law firm? He has lawyer jokes. Real estate company? He knows the lay of the land. Finance or tech? He is genuinely immersed in that world. The show feels like it belongs to the event, not like something that got dropped into it.
It depends on the event. Quarterly summit, summer picnic, holiday party, it is all a little different. For a cocktail reception the magic moves through the room in small groups. For a seated dinner or a conference there is a stage show that can be built around the company and what the night is for. Most corporate clients end up wanting both.

Completely. Clean, sharp, nothing that creates a conversation with HR on Monday morning. Penn Jillette signed off on it on national television. That is a reasonable benchmark.
Over ten years. Penn and Teller: Fool Us. FOX, ABC, CBS. First place at Tannen's Walk Around Competition. More corporate events across Colorado than is useful to list.
Corporate events range from $1,250 to $5,000 depending on event size, format, and travel. Send a date, a guest count, and a short description of the event and an accurate quote comes back.

Emcee/Host Questions

Personality, professionalism, and a genuinely quick brain for when things go wrong. Most internal hosts are lovely people who have never held a microphone in front of three hundred colleagues. That gap tends to become very visible, very fast.
Once the entire sound system went out in a room of three hundred people. Liam walked on stage, made a toast to the audience, framed it as a planned intermission, and went and grabbed the backup system he had brought just in case. Was it as fancy as the original? No. Did the evening keep moving without anyone realizing what had happened? Yes.
Corporate conferences, award galas, fundraisers, trade shows, school events, comedy nights. Any event in Denver or across Colorado that needs someone experienced and unflappable at the front of the room.

The combination does something two separate hires cannot. After each speaker, Liam performs a short magic routine that ties directly into what that speaker just covered. The audience actually retains what they heard. On top of that, Liam mingles through the crowd before the program starts, so by the time the first speaker hits the stage the room is already warm. Even the parts people would normally tune out become something they stay for.
Calmly. Years of live performance including live television mean that things going sideways is familiar territory. The audience will not notice.
Emcee and hosting starts at $1,250 and scales with event length and how much prep the program needs. Send the details over and an accurate number comes back.
