Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Every event is different, but these answers cover the questions hosts ask most often.

What ages are the shows for?

Family shows are designed so children stay engaged while adults enjoy the comedy too. Corporate, adult, and strolling performances are shaped for their specific audience.

How long is a performance?

Timing depends on the event and performance format. Share your schedule and Ken will recommend an option that fits naturally without making the program feel rushed.

How much room and setup are needed?

A stage-style show benefits from a dedicated performance area with clear sightlines. Strolling magic works within the event itself and moves from group to group.

What is the difference between stage and strolling magic?

A stage or parlor show brings everyone together for one shared performance. Strolling close-up magic happens in smaller groups during receptions, cocktail hours, and transitions.

Where does Ken perform?

Ken is based in Pikesville and serves events throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, Virginia, and surrounding areas. Ask about your specific venue when checking availability.

Can the show be customized?

Yes. Audience, venue, timing, tone, and special moments are discussed in advance so the entertainment feels appropriate for your event and guests.
