Charlotte bachelorette party entertainment · Ages 18+

Charlotte bachelorette
party magician.

A bride. A few friends.
One deeply questionable guest.

I'm Timothy Starnes. I bring close-up magic, dark comedy, con games, and theatrical séances to private bachelorette parties in Charlotte and beyond. Give your guests something better to discuss than who wasn't invited.

Private magic for the bride and her people

Your weekend.
Stranger company.

Your friends have come from different places, someone has appointed herself keeper of the itinerary, and dinner isn't for another hour. A private magic show gives everyone something to get involved in together. You supply the occasion. I'll supply the questionable company.

My bachelorette party entertainment is for adults 18+: close-up bizarre magic, eerie stories, and comedy with very loose spirits. Guests become part of the mystery. Tell me whether your group wants a little mischief or the atmosphere of a haunted parlor, and we'll discuss the format and tone before booking.

Interested in the full séance experience? Timothy Starnes & His Many Night Visitors combines spirit magic, mind reading, and haunted storytelling. It's theatrical entertainment, with a history of séances and spiritualism woven through the show. The dead have terrible calendars; I make no promises about actual contact.

Before we conjure anything

Put a little mystery on the itinerary.

For a Charlotte bachelorette weekend, tell me where the group is gathering and what else you have planned. I also travel for bachelorette parties in Asheville, Lake Lure, Myrtle Beach, Savannah, and beyond.

  1. The bride & the show

    Tell me the bride's sense of humor and your group's appetite for mischief. Comedy magic with props and cards, con-game swindles, bar bets, dice magic, and more are available. A séance can be part of the night, or you can book a traditional-style magic show with no séance at all. A photo with me won't get you in any trouble.

  2. The time & the guest list

    Performance lengths are adjustable; I usually spend one to two hours at a client party. A séance requires two hours. I can perform for events of any size. For a séance, I suggest 10–15 guests, or as many as your dining table can comfortably accommodate.

  3. A station, or walkaround?

    Walkaround-style magic is available. I generally recommend a dedicated performance station so guests can join me on their own terms throughout the party. Share your dinner plans and the rest of the itinerary so we can fit the magic into your evening.

  4. The room & the setup

    I ask for three chairs and a table to work from, or a coffee table with ample audience seating in front and to the sides. I do not use a sound system. We’ll confirm arrival and setup timing before booking.

A few perfectly reasonable questions

Before you
invite me in.

Can you perform at our private home or event venue?

Yes. I need three chairs and a table, or a coffee table with ample audience seating in front and to the sides. I do not use a sound system. Send your address or venue name and guest count; we'll confirm arrival and setup timing before booking. If you're using a rental or hired venue, check its rules with the host or venue too.

Does everyone need to be interested in séances?

No. You can book traditional-style comedy and close-up magic with props, cards, con-game swindles, bar bets, and dice magic. A séance is optional and can be included as part of the night; it requires a two-hour booking. You don't have to claim a family curse to inquire.

How much does a bachelorette party magician cost?

$500 per hour. Parties outside the Charlotte, NC area have a two-hour minimum. Text me your plans for availability and your booking total. A signed agreement and booking retainer reserve your date; the agreement sets out the payment schedule and event terms.

Do you travel for an out-of-town bachelorette weekend?

Yes. I regularly perform in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia. Share the city, venue, and date, including destinations farther away, so we can discuss travel and any related costs.
