About
Dare is a magician for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Cards, mobile phones and mentalism, put together by someone with a master's in electronics engineering. That background isn't a footnote. Dare builds technology into the routines alongside the traditional close-up material, which gives the act a modern feel rather than a top-hat one. Originally from the UK. Roving magic needs no setup at all, parlour needs about 15 minutes, and stage shows get a proper sound and lighting check an hour beforehand. There's also an MC option, with planning sessions to lock in the script and run sheet before the day. Audiences from two people up to a few thousand. Public liability and professional indemnity cover both in place.

The show
Modern magic rather than top hats and wands. Dare trained as an electronics engineer, and he's built that into the act, so technology sits alongside card work and mentalism in a way most magicians can't offer. Originally from the UK, and the charm does a lot of work in keeping a room with him. He can perform for two people at a table or a few thousand in a hall, and he'll shape the show around your event rather than running the same twenty minutes at everyone.
On the day
Roving needs nothing set up. He arrives at least 20 minutes early with everything on him and starts working the room. Parlour magic takes 15 minutes to set, and he's there half an hour ahead. For stage shows he confirms sound and lighting with the venue beforehand, then arrives an hour early to run a proper check. If he's MCing, he'll have as many planning sessions as it takes to nail the script and run sheet, then turn up an hour early to check sound and lighting, confirm any late changes and sort out anything the day needs.
Performance options
Four options, and they combine. Roving magic through your guests, a close-up parlour show, a stage show, or Dare as your MC for the evening. Plenty of events end up taking two of them.
