How does a request work?

You fill in the form. I reply within 24 hours with a quote matched to your event. We talk through your venue, your timing and what you have in mind. Then I come on the day.

Where do you travel?

I am based in Paris and I travel. Travel costs are included in the Paris region and charged separately elsewhere. Tell me where your event is held and I will tell you whether it works.

How far in advance should I book?

For close-up or a stage act, write to me as soon as you have your date. For a bespoke creation, allow two weeks to two months of design before the event.

How much does it cost?

There is no single rate: the price depends on the format, the length and the venue. The quote is free and commits you to nothing. A booking is confirmed with a 30 % deposit, and the terms are set out in the quote.

Is this a children's show?

My shows are written for an adult audience: weddings, private parties, birthdays and corporate events. That does not mean children find them dull, quite the opposite. If your event includes some, a slot devoted to them can be added to the booking.

What do you need on site?

Access to water. For close-up, nothing else: I work standing, among your guests. For a stage act, a space of at least 3 × 5 metres and a power socket depending on the act. No minimum ceiling height.

How early do you arrive?

One hour before for close-up, three hours for a stage act. Preparation happens backstage, thirty minutes in one case, two hours in the other. On the night, the setup your guests can see takes five minutes.

Can it be done outdoors?

Bubble sculptures need a precision that the slightest draught makes impossible, so they are performed indoors. Outside, I offer close-up magic, which can be followed by bubbles once everyone is back inside.

Can guests take part?

Yes, and that is the strength of close-up: the bubbles appear in their own hands. I can perform during the meal, between courses, and come back several times in the evening.

What if your guests do not speak French?

I perform in French, in English, or without a word. The silent act works in front of any audience.

Who provides the music?

I bring my own. Music rights reporting remains the organiser's responsibility, as for any music played at an event.

How are you dressed?

Elegantly, and I adapt to the spirit of your evening if you ask me to.

Does the product stain? Does the floor become slippery?

I perform keeping the bubbles away from clothes and tables: it is something I watch from start to finish. On the floor, splashes stay small and controlled in close-up, and I bring a suitable floor covering for stage work. I have never had an allergy reported; if a guest has a known allergy, tell me beforehand.

Does the smoke set off fire detectors?

No. It is a vapour of the same kind as an electronic cigarette, in very small quantities. I can perform without it, but the result is markedly less striking.

Do I need permission from the venue? Are you insured?

No particular permission is needed. I carry professional liability insurance.
