QUESTION: I'm interested in booking one of your programs. What are your rates, when are you available and how much time do you need to prepare? Answer: It never hurts to ask us whether we're available at your scheduled time and date – even if it happens to be tomorrow! But, if you contact us a week before your date, you shouldn't be surprised if we're not able to help you. Our schedule has a tendency to fill up, so if you can call us a month or two in advance, it's much more likely that we can work things out for you! Your best chances of securing our availability is to plan your event for a weekday or weekend evening, or any time of day on a Saturday or Sunday. All we ask is that you give us plenty of notice! As for our rates, you'll find many of them listed on this page – just scroll down to the program that interests you! QUESTION: When I hire you, what must I provide? Answer: A suitable performance area, a bit of time for setting up – and an audience. Beyond that – very little! We're very self-contained. While we provide and carry all performance equipment, we don't provide a platform or extensive sound system (most venues prefer that we use their own). So, unless we're performing in your home in one of our more relaxed programs, we ask that you provide a sound system (wireless microphone or platform microphone) and a suitable area for performance. If a lighted stage or platform isn't available, we require a cleared, well-lighted spot approximately 12 feet by 12 feet in size, as centrally situated as possible rather than at one end of the room; typically, we can adapt if the space is in the physical center of your audience area. QUESTION: Do you provide a contract? Answer: If that's your preferred way to do business, we can set up a contractual agreement. When multiple services or performances are involved, sometimes a contract is best so all your needs will be met. In most cases, however, a verbal agreement is sufficient. We want you to be able to recommend our services to others, so our aim is definitely to please you. QUESTION: Do you want me to provide information to you in advance about who will attend? Answer: That's not necessary unless you want us to honor or focus on someone in the group during the presentation. Some alleged "psychics" – and we use the word dubiously – do rely on such information. Frankly, we'd prefer not to be associated with such people. QUESTION: Do you do any of those embarrassing stunts with "hypnotized" people? Answer: Never! Our programs are dignified and designed for fun as well as education. Under no circumstances would we embarrass anyone or try to turn anyone into the target of an inappropriate joke. That's simply not our style. Our programs – while still humorous and amusing – are "clean" and free of inappropriate remarks or gags. QUESTION: We have an unusual event planned. Can you prepare a customized program – such as an interactive mystery or a specialized paranormal investigation – adapted to our particular situation? Answer: We've designed specialized presentations throughout our career. Tell us your needs and expectations, and we'll talk about the resources we offer. In short, we'll do our best to give you precisely what you're looking for. QUESTION: In your psychic-entertainment performances for groups, do you ever divulge private, personal information that people wouldn't necessarily want revealed? Answer: We couldn't hold up our heads in public if we did. Private is private. All confidences are regarded seriously, and we would never reveal information to others that should remain yours alone! Sometimes we ask people to think of friends or incidents in their past in an effort to establish an emotional "charge" to their energies, but if we detect thoughts of a sensitive nature, we tend to bypass them – and forget about them.
