A budget line you never have to defend
An interactive illusion show for adult audiences — a headliner moment without rebuilding the timeline or the production. Your work takes 60 seconds: show the client a video and a slide. Everything else is already written here.
Fixed partner feeBudget package within the hourPrice protection
Partner terms
Written rules, the same for everyone
Partner remuneration
Fixed, and it never raises the client's price. The amount is set in the partner agreement; three or more events a month — individual terms.
Price protection
The client gets the same price from Roman and from you. Going around you on price is impossible — that is a written rule.
Budget package within the hour
During business hours: slide, video and rider — a ready kit for your budget.
One event per day
The date is fully reserved for your event. Priority booking for regular partners.
Documents
Contract-based work: invoice, bank transfer, closing documents for your accounting.
A copy-ready budget block
Copy as is
The organiser's brief is a short document on what the show is, the formats available and the terms on which I work with planners and agencies. Download and read it before adding the show to a budget — it is your internal working document.
Download the organiser's brief (PDF)Budget line: Show block “Interactive illusion show” — Roman Khalafyan
Illusionist Roman Khalafyan. The show happens not on stage but among the guests: the impossible a metre away, mind reading and predicted decisions — with the guests themselves taking part. The programme is personalised for the event and the guest of honour. Performed in English and Russian. Clients include Cartier, Chanel and closed private events. Every guest reaction is real.

Talking points by event type
What to tell your client
Wedding
Covers the welcome hour and the interactive slot
While the couple is at the photo session, the guests are already discussing something they cannot explain. Works for three generations equally. Fits the MC's timeline without breaking the programme.
Corporate
The most resilient line in the budget
When budgets are trimmed and a strong centrepiece is still needed: a headliner moment without a headliner budget or heavy production.
Milestone birthday
An act that exists once
An act built on the biography of the guest of honour is repeated nowhere. Guests “who have seen everything” get what they have not seen.
Private dinner
The show is the event
10–40 guests, full confidentiality, NDA as standard. A clear central line of the evening's budget.
If the client hesitates
“It is an adult show: illusion, mind reading and predictions with the guests themselves. Watch 60 seconds of video — the faces are people of your circle.” The video settles the question faster than words.
“Expensive for 40 minutes”
“It is the fee of a cover band — and the next morning your guests will be discussing this block.”
“The guests won't want to take part”
“Only those who reach out take part — the rest watch and film. No one is pulled on stage.”
Rider & reliability protocol
Fully self-contained
All props and the microphone are my own. No rigging or set-up time on site.
Stage blockFully self-contained: all equipment travels with me. Technical check — 10 minutes. Dress code matched to the style of your event.
Close-upNo technical requirements. Access to the guests' area during the welcome hour.
LogisticsArrival one hour before the performance (Moscow); other cities and countries — the day before. A same-day morning flight is forbidden by internal rule.
RedundancyA backup set of props, a microphone-free version of the stage block, reserve acts for a change of audience.
Force majeure in writingIf the performance does not happen through the artist's fault — a 100% refund of the advance and help finding a replacement.
A proposal within the hour
Send the event format, the number of guests and the slot in the timeline — I will assemble a proposal with a slide and a client-facing video.
A budget line you never have to defend
A separate page for professionals: written terms, a copy-ready budget block and the rider. Your work takes 60 seconds — show the client a video and a slide.
