Why we exist

Why FindMagic Exists

Magic deserves better than a yellow pages listing.

FindMagic was built by people who perform magic. We kept seeing the same problem from both sides of the curtain.

If you love magic, there’s no good way to find out what’s playing — tonight at home, or next week in a city you’re visiting. If you want to hire a magician, you’re Googling through vendor sites that file magic next to balloon animals. And if you are a magician, those same sites bury you, then take a cut.

So we built a directory with two jobs: help people find shows worth seeing, and help them hire the right magician — directly.

No middleman. No marketplace fees. No commission on your bookings.

The short version

What we don’t do

We’ve been on the other side of those platforms. Our promise, in plain language:

  • We don’t charge you to be listed. Your page is free. Period.
  • We don’t charge you for leads. No per-referral fee, no credit packs, no paywall on an enquiry.
  • We don’t take a commission on your bookings. What you earn is yours. All of it.
  • We don’t hold your visibility hostage. No “boost your listing” upsells. No paying to not be buried.
  • We don’t pit performers against each other on price. No reverse auction. We will never ask you to bid against another magician.
The difference

What makes this different

♠

You keep the relationship.

People contact you directly. We don’t process payments or sit in the middle of your conversations.

♥

Shows, not just listings.

What’s on tonight where you live, and what’s on next week where you’re headed.

♣

We serve this community, not monetize it.

That’s not a tagline. It’s the reason this thing was built.

♦

Built for the way discovery is changing.

Every magician, show and venue has a structured, agent-readable page, so an AI assistant can retrieve facts instead of guessing from scattered posts.

The honest part

How we’ll keep the lights on

If everything’s free, what’s the catch? There isn’t one today. But FindMagic will eventually have to pay for itself, so here’s our thinking.

We don’t believe in tollbooths. If you book a gig through your page, we don’t think we’re entitled to a slice of what you earned on stage. When we do introduce paid features, they’ll be things people actually want to pay for:

Tools that save performers time: If we build software that makes your life easier — like an embeddable calendar for your own website that syncs your shows automatically, or a one-click press kit — we might charge a modest subscription for it. If you don’t need it, you never pay a dime.

Help for corporate buyers: When a company or event planner wants us to curate talent, handle contracts, or manage payment escrow for a private event, we’ll charge them for our time — not you for your talent.

What will never change: your listing is free, your enquiries are free, and we will never take a cut of your gigs, charge you per lead, or auction off your visibility.

Your page, your call

Any magician can be removed

We build pages from public information so audiences can find you. If you’d rather not be here, ask — we verify it’s really you, then take the page down. No argument, no retention pitch.

We’d rather you claimed it. A claimed page is yours to edit, and enquiries go straight to you instead of to us. But that’s your choice to make, not ours. Use the report link on your page, or write to [email protected].

Who we are

We’re magicians, and people who think this art is worth championing.

We built FindMagic because we wanted it to exist: a place to find magic worth seeing, and to be found without giving up a piece of every gig.

If you perform magic, your page may already be here — yours to claim, customize, and make your own.
