PHIL CAN CUSTOMIZE HIS PRESENTATION TO YOUR THEME, OR FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE. EVEN IF YOU CALL PHIL AT THE LAST MOMENT, HE CAN PUT TOGETHER A SHOW THAT WILL KEEP EVERYONE AMAZED, AMUSED AND ENTERTAINED FROM BEGINNING TO END.
COCKTAIL AND HOSPITALITY PARTIES...Phil strolls through the crowd performing magic close-up to one or several guests. The magic happens right in their hands. Phil's personality adds that right touch to your party.

AFTER DINNER ENTERTAINMENT...It's magic on a large scale that can be enjoyed by groups of 50 or 500. Interspersed with lots of comedy and audience participation, Phil performs magic that everyone will enjoy. It's ideal entertainment for holiday parties, awards dinners, sales meetings, or fundraisers.

SALES MEETINGS / CONFERENCES...Perfect as a break during the long day, or as a motivational presentation to kick off your meeting. Phil puts a charge into everyone with his magic and motivational presentation.

BIRTHDAY AND ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS...Here's a chance to really throw a party for that special someone. The celebrated person gets to perform magic and be the "star of the show". Phil personalizes the show for the birthday person or anniversary couple with information you supply and he ties it into a magical celebration.

MASTER OF CEREMONIES...As your Emcee, Phil will lead the evening program with his quick wit and showmanship. He knows how to open the show, introduce speakers, and bring the evening to a strong close.
