The Parlour Show – A Shared Magic Experience

The Parlour Show is Phil’s stand‑up style magic and mind‑reading show for everyone to enjoy together. It is perfect when you want more than roaming close‑up – you want your guests to sit down, lean in and experience the same impossible moments at the same time.

Lights Down, Minds Blown
What The Parlour Show Is Like
  • A show for everyone together: Guests sit, stand or gather facing one area, so they share the same impossible moments at the same time.
  • Magic and mind‑reading: A mix of visual magic and thought‑of words, numbers or decisions revealed in surprising ways.
  • Highly interactive: Volunteers are invited up throughout the show, so it feels personal and in‑the‑moment, not like watching a distant stage act.
  • Designed for living rooms & small venues: No big boxes or huge illusions – this is magic that fits comfortably into your space and still feels powerful.
  • Family‑friendly or grown‑up only: The tone can be kept clean and family‑friendly, or tilted more towards adults depending on your audience.
What You Get
What Is Included In The Parlour Show
  • A fully structured show: A professionally planned running order that builds from quick visual openers to bigger, memorable finales.
  • All props and materials: Everything needed for the magic and mind‑reading is provided (you just provide the space and the people).
  • Light technical support if needed: For slightly larger rooms, a small sound system or microphone can be used so everyone can hear clearly.
  • Beautiful moments for the guest of honour: One or two pieces are often tailored around a birthday person, couple or key person at the event.
  • Clear arrival and set‑up times: Phil arrives in good time to check the space, agree the show start time and make sure everyone has the best view.
  • Optional combo with close‑up magic: Many events book close‑up magic before or after the show for a complete evening of entertainment.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
How Parlour Show Pricing Works

The Parlour Show has guide prices so you can see roughly what to expect, then your quote is adjusted to fit your night. That way the fee matches how long the show runs and what else you would like Phil to do.

Your final quote mainly depends on:

  • The exact length of the show (shorter highlight set vs extended show).
  • Whether you also want close‑up magic before or after the show.
  • Where the event is taking place and any extra travel time.
  • The date, day of the week and expected start time of the show.

All of this is laid out clearly in writing, so you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before you confirm.

Parlour Questions, Clear Answers
Common Questions About The Parlour Show
Q1 How much space do we need?
  • You do not need a stage – just a clear area at the front that everyone can see.
  • A living room, lounge or small function room usually works perfectly.
  • Chairs in rows or a mix of sofas and chairs facing the same way is ideal.
Q2 Is the Parlour Show suitable for children?
  • The show is designed mainly for adults and older teens.
  • Families with children aged around 10+ usually enjoy it as a shared experience.
  • If the audience is mostly younger children, a different style of show may be better – Phil can advise.
Q3 Can we combine the show with close‑up magic?
  • Yes – this is very popular for birthdays, private parties and corporate events.
  • You might have close‑up magic during drinks, then everyone sits down for the show.
  • Packages are adjusted so you only pay for the total time you actually need.
Q4 Do we need any sound or lighting?
  • For smaller living rooms, normal lighting and room volume are usually enough.
  • For slightly larger spaces, a small portable microphone can be used so everyone hears clearly.
  • No complex staging or lighting rigs are required.
Q5 What if we are not sure of exact numbers yet?
  • A rough idea (for example “around 20” or “about 40–50 people”) is fine to get a quote.
  • The show naturally scales across a small range of audience sizes.
  • If your numbers change a little, it will usually not affect your fee.
