The difference
You have been to that party. Good venue, good food, music in the background. By the next weekend, nobody remembers a thing.
The hosts who call us want the opposite: something nobody in the room has seen before. A reason for the cousins and the college friends to actually talk. A night the guest of honour brings up for years.
That is exactly what this is.
What happens
Bao moves through your celebration group by group. Rings vanish and return. Thoughts are read before they are spoken. It happens inches from your guests, often in their own hands, and it fills the exact moments every host worries about:
When guests do not know each other yet and the room needs an ice-breaker.
Where energy usually dips. Instead, tables erupt one by one.
A personalized piece built around the person the night is for.
Guests leave with a moment they will retell at every dinner for months.
Your guests do not watch the entertainment. It happens to them.

The rate you see is the rate you pay, plus tax. No mileage surprises, no add-ons.
Corporate clients book this exact package from $2,500.
Why the private rate exists
Most of Bao’s bookings are corporate: galas, holiday parties, and client events. Companies pay $2,500 to $6,500 and beyond for an evening with Bao, because they trust him with their hardest rooms: executives, clients, the people who have seen everything.
The 90-minute package on this page is the entry point of that corporate calendar, booked from $2,500. Private celebrations get it at a private rate, kept within reach while he still can. Same performer. Same performance.
There is cheaper entertainment out there. But you are not shopping for entertainment. You are deciding how your guest of honour gets celebrated, and the hosts who want the best in the room book the performer companies trust with theirs.
This is not a discount or a promotion. It is a standing rate for private celebrations.

Questions hosts ask
Some of the best nights on record were 10 to 15 people around a table. The smaller the group, the more personal and the more impossible it feels. For intimate gatherings under 20, there is also The Magic & Mentalism Show, a private show built exactly for that. Splitting the Cocktail Hour between 12 guests works out to about $125 per person.
Nineteen years on stage builds a repertoire far deeper than any single evening can show. Every set is assembled for the room in front of it, so even repeat guests are met with material that is new to them.
Yes, and it is one of the best ways to do it. A knock at the door mid-party, an unannounced guest who turns out to read minds. We coordinate quietly with you so nothing gives it away.
None to speak of. Close-up magic happens between your guests: living rooms, restaurants, terraces, boats, backyards. Nothing to install, no stage to build.
The hard-to-impress rooms are the favourites. Bao spends most of the year in front of executives and engineers who walk in skeptical. It happens in your guests’ own hands, with their own objects, so there is nothing to dismiss. The bigger the skeptic, the louder the reaction.
Your invoice arrives instantly, payable by card through the secure link or by Interac to info@baomagic.com. Pay in full in one tap, or start with a 50% deposit and settle the balance on event day. The deposit portion is a non-refundable retainer: it is what takes your date off the market.
Availability is confirmed as part of your booking. In the rare case a date is already contracted, you hear from us within hours and nothing is charged; any payment already made is returned in full right away.
Your date, your people, and ninety minutes they will never explain.
