The cost of hiring a magician in Indianapolis varies depending on factors like the type of event, the duration of the performance, and specific requirements. Contact us for a personalized quote.
When you contact me or a member of my team, we’ll ask just a few questions which will allow me to make some tailor a show and service that will make your event magical and memorable.
Jamahl is an international magician entertainer who performs all over the United States and the world. He not only performs locally in his hometown of Indianapolis he is also in demand performing his comedy magic in Europe, Japan and South America…To name a few.
This is sooooo important especially in today’s day and age when people are offended by the least little things. It is vital that you make sure that the
performer’s material is absolutely family friendly entertainment or trouble brews for you on the horizon.
True Story:
I recently did a stage show for a Fortune 500 company who had also hired a comedian. The comedian was hilarious and the audience loved him but then he let a few very minor swear words slip out. In fact, I didn’t even catch them… but the wife of one of the company’s big-wig dealers did. She
stormed out of the show and dragged her husband with her.
The executive shot an extremely upset look at the poor event planner. The event planner came up to me and said, “Oh great, now I have to spend tomorrow smoothing all this out. That’s just what I need.”
He had asked the comedian if his material was clean without politics and the comedian told him that it was. It wasn’t.
Bottom line: You need to not only ask whether the performer’s material is
clean, you have to insist and emphasize that it MUST be clean. If possible, get some type of proof, in the form of a testimonial letter or videos that the material is clean. (This is why I include a testimonial letter and videos from for that exact reason!)
Theater Bookings can be taken up to 18 months in advance of the event. While smaller event dates like parties, festivals and special events book up fast. It does not hurt to check availability as soon as you have a date in mind as many key dates do tend to get booked up way in advance.
There are not only quotes and comments on this page. But Jamahl has a PDF book of letters and video testimonials that he can provide. All you need to do is request for it.
That would spoil the surprise. Suffice to say it’s all great stuff! and nothing cheesy. Jamahl’s experience performing for every age and demographic on the planet shows that he is able to match his magic show to the needs and expectations of his clients.
This is an important question so I’m glad you are interested in this one. I carry a $500,000 public liability insurance policy. This gives us both peace of mind, in the very rare chance that something unfortunate should happen. If your venue needs to see my insurance certificate, just let me know, and I’ll send it across to you.
Magicians set their prices based on experience. Most people get a pay raise at work. It’s the same with magic entertainers. It’s always going to be more expensive to hire someone who’s been performing for decades than someone who only got started a year or two ago.
As such, it’s likely that a cheaper magician is less experienced. They might be happy simply to have a fresh audience to practice in front of.
If you’re happy to take that risk, that’s fine. However, you probably don’t want to do that for events where you only get one chance to get it right.
I’m long past the practicing stage. When you hire me, you get a polished performer you can rely on. I know instinctively how to get the most from your guests and how to make sure your event is the best it can be.
I’m not the cheapest, but I’m confident the price I set is fair. I know it is because I perform at that price regularly and continue to get great feedback, as shown throughout my website and marketing materials.
It’s a simple process.

What The Late Great Joan Rivers Had To Say:
Before:
“When I heard the opening act was a comedy magician, I thought, Oh great… someone pulling rabbits before I go on! I didn’t know what to expect—magic and comedy don’t always mix.”After:
“But then The Magic Comic – Jamahl Keyes hit the stage, and within minutes, I was hooked! He was witty, funny, and absolutely amazing. The audience loved him—and so did I. By the time I went on, he had the whole theater buzzing. I’m still trying to figure out how he did that egg trick!”
The Legendary Ben Vereen Comment:
Before the Show:
“When I heard I had an opening act before my performance, I’ll admit I was curious. It’s not often that someone sets the tone for a crowd that’s come to see a theatrical legend. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a ‘Comedy Magician.’”
After the Show:
“But the moment The Magic Comic—Jamahl Keyes—hit the stage, I felt the energy shift. His rhythm, timing, and humor were electric! The way he engaged and moved such a diverse audience—magically and theatrically—was a joy to witness. His energy is absolutely contagious! It’s rare to find an opener who lifts the room so high before I even step onstage. Bravo, Jamahl!”
