Frequently Asked Questions
Is Greg Phillips able to entertain people who don't speak English?
Thankfully, magic is very universally appealing to all walks of life! Although your non-english speaking guests may not totally understand every funny joke Greg makes, they’ll still be thoroughly entertained and amazed by what they see! HOWEVER, Greg does perform several routines in Spanish and can communicate in his second language. Greg is also adept at working with translators and has divided his routines in specific pieces that easily translatable and fun for people to follow.
Is a deposit required?
Yes, typically a 50% initial investment and signed agreement is required to reserve a date. The event is not fully booked with Greg until these items have been received.
What do we need to provide you on our end?
What is needed varies based on the type of entertainment being provided.
If you go with a strolling/close up magic package, where Greg is merely strolling through your event and entertaining the guests, there are virtually no additional requirements. Everything Greg needs he comes prepared with in his pockets ready to entertain when he arrives at the event.
For the stage show packages, there are some important requirements that are needed in order for a successful performance.
1. If Greg is the only performer with equipment on the stage (besides a podium), then we recommend a stage at least 12′ x 8′ and at least 6 inches off the floor. Depending on how high the stage is, stairs might also be required as there is fun audience participation throughout the performance. In cases where Greg’s equipment would be sharing the stage with other performer(s), a larger stage me be necessary or other special considerations.
2. In most cases, Greg will provide his own sound system unless it’s a performance that requires air travel. In this case, we’ll also need a professional sound system setup and monitored throughout the performance. The best type of mic is a headset mic known as a “country man”. It is wireless and hands free. We also need an an input for an iPod for sound effects.
Once again, most of the time Greg provides his own professional sound system. Please keep in mind that you still may have AV needs yourself and still may want to ask your venue to provide a microphone to show a presentation, announce winners, give speeches, etc.
3. In regards to lighting, we have no specific needs but do recommend not having your event too dark because it becomes more difficult for your guests to experience the amazing magic when they are struggling to see what’s happening.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal.
You may pay securely online using PayPal or our Secure Payment Page.
If paying with check, please make check payable to “Rising Star”
Is Greg able to entertain while people are eating?
Technically yes but he doesn’t recommend it. Your guests are an integral part of the program and participate in the magic and are often asked to help out. This can be difficult when people are eating. It’s also it’s hard to “watch closely” when you’re enjoying dinner.
Will any of the shows embarrass or offend anyone?
We’re proud to say that absolutely NO ONE is embarrassed in any way. We’ve heard many horror stories of how other entertainers have completely offended guests in the audience with off color jokes and remarks. Greg’s Funbelievable programs are completely G-Rated and never rely on entertaining people by making fun or laughing at people.
What kind of room set up do you need for the stage show?
Typically having the stage setup against a wall having all of your guests seated in front and as close as possible (this helps provide a more intimate feeling). Guests that are seated directly to either side of the stage or behind, have TERRIBLE seats and therefore it’s best to avoid that. A space that can comfortably seat all of your guests without having them on the sides or behind the stage is best. Also watch out for those huge annoying beams right in the middle of some rooms. Please take into consideration your guests so they don’t get stuck behind one of them and miss out on the fun.
Optionally, you can request “pipe and drape” for the stage which basically serves as the backdrop of the performance and gives it a nice feel.
Greg also has his own FUNBELIEVABLE THEMED BACKDROP that he can use as well.
What size audiences can Greg entertain?
Greg’s has performed in the smallest of living rooms to the largest of live festival and concert halls. His entertainment is best suited for medium to large sized crowds. Greg entertains groups as intimate as a handful of people to the largest of groups with the proper staging, lighting and preparation. If you have a large group (200 or more), the use of projection screens makes the show even more enjoyable for your guests. Talk to your venue or contact a local audio/video company with questions to further explore that option.
