🎩 Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking Michael Clayton Magic for your event.

What types of events does Michael Clayton perform at? +

Michael performs at birthday parties, school and library programs, corporate events and trade shows, festivals, church and VBS events, senior living communities, and preschool programs. Each show is tailored to the audience and setting.

What areas does Michael travel to? +

Michael is based in Southaven, MS (just south of Memphis) and is available to perform anywhere in the world. His primary service area covers a 300–400 mile radius of Memphis — including Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Missouri, and beyond — but he regularly travels nationally and internationally for the right event. Contact him directly to discuss travel for your date.

How long are the shows? +

Show length depends on the program. Birthday and family shows typically run 45–60 minutes. School assembly and library programs are available in 45-minute formats. Corporate and festival formats are flexible — including roving strolling magic for longer events. Michael will work with you to match the right length to your event schedule.

What ages are the shows appropriate for? +

Michael has programs designed for all ages. Preschool shows are built for ages 3–5. Family and birthday shows work great for mixed ages from kids through adults. School assembly programs serve K–12. Corporate and senior shows are tailored for adult audiences. If you have a specific age group, just mention it when you inquire.

How do I book Michael Clayton Magic? +

The easiest way is to fill out the inquiry form on this page. Michael will respond quickly with availability and details. You can also call or text directly at (901) 219-1134, or email mclayton@midsouthmagic.com. Booking is confirmed with a signed agreement and deposit.

How far in advance should I book? +

Weekend dates — especially Saturdays — fill up several months in advance, particularly in spring and fall. For the best availability, reaching out 4–8 weeks ahead is recommended. That said, Michael does accommodate last-minute requests when his schedule allows, so it's always worth asking even for short-notice events.

What does Michael bring to the event? Does he need anything from us? +

Michael arrives with everything needed for the show — props, sound system, and all equipment. For most shows, you simply need to provide a performance space and, for larger venues, a standard electrical outlet. Michael will go over any specific needs during the booking process.

Is Michael available for public ticketed shows? +

Yes! Michael presents public family magic shows throughout the year at venues across the Mid-South. Check the Upcoming Shows section at the top of this page for current dates, or visit the tickets page to reserve your seats.
