Show Times, Seating Arrangements, Lighting and AV.
Show Length
Miracles & Other Deceptions is performed as a 90-minute production when presented at the Omni Parker House in Boston. For your event we can present the full 90-minute production, however two shorter versions, a 75-minute and a 60-minute version of the show is also available, if that is a better fit for your overall event schedule.
Seating Arrangements
The show is performed on a 6-foot round table, with a customized performance area for Paul Gertner. The seating arrangement accommodates approximately 40 guests. Ten guests are seated right at the table on standard height chairs. A second row of 16 standard height chairs are set in a semi-circle creating the second row. Finally, a third row of 14 tall barstool type chairs is set in a semi-circle to create the final row. The third row of taller barstool type chairs provide a height visibility for those seated furthest from the performer providing better visibility of the tabletop.
While it is possible to accommodate a few more audience member than detailed above (extra chairs and standing room positions added) if the audience count is higher than 50 people, a second performance is recommended to insure proper visibility and enjoyment for all the guests. This can be done by splitting the group in half and one half of the group has dinner while the others see the show. Then those that had dinner now see the show and those that saw the show sit down for dinner. A minimum of 30-minutes time is required between the end of the first show and the beginning of the second performance to allow adequate reset time for the show.
Lighting
In most cases standard room lighting is adequate for the show. We can also provide a compact digital light kit to our production package if there are any concerns about the lighting available in the proposed venue.
Audio
Music is used during the show, a digital sound board and sound system are provided as part of the production package. No microphone is needed or used during the performance. Technical control of the lights and sound are handled by the performer and no additional AV technicians are required for the show.
