A Personal Introduction for Angel of the Winds Casino Resort
Watch the short video below to see what's coming to your Team Member Holiday Party on November 17, 2026.
Hello, Kelly and Team!
Thanks for the time on the phone. You told me something most people planning a team member event never say out loud -- that you want the graveyard crew to get the same day everybody else gets.
That's the whole job here. Ten in the morning to one the next morning isn't an event length. It's day shift, swing, and the front half of graveyard. Below is how I'd cover it so nobody at Angel of the Winds finds out later they got the leftover version.

The Shape of the Day
A party, not a break room
Some of your team members are coming into Rivers Run on a day off -- dressed up, with a plate and a drink, planning to stay a while. Others will have twenty minutes between shifts. The magic has to work for both, and it does.
Close-up and walk-around, moving through the room in small groups. A few minutes with one cluster of people, then on to the next. Nobody stands in a line waiting for a turn, and nobody has to sit through a show to see one.
- 10:00a – 1:00pDoors, and day shift on break
- 5:00p – 8:00pThe busiest stretch -- off-shift guests and swing
- 10:00p – 1:00aGraveyard coming on, and the crowd that stays late
Blocks move to wherever your traffic actually is -- you know that better than I do. Tell me when the room is full and I'll be there.
Every Option Includes
What comes with it
- For reasons we discussed on the phone I'm waiving my travel expenses -- that just saved you $1,000.
- Completely self-contained. All props, costumes and accessories included. No stage, no sound, no power, nothing needed from your facilities team.
- Squeaky clean. ALL my material is family friendly and non-controversial.
- Photo and video welcome. Shoot whatever you want for your internal channels.
Built For This Room
Your team members are a tough audience, and that's the fun part
Your dealers and table games staff handle cards every day of their working lives. Most performers walk into a casino and do card tricks at them. I don't. The bulk of what I do never touches a deck -- coins, borrowed objects, mentalism, things that happen in their hands and not mine. The few card pieces I keep are the ones built specifically for people who already know what hands can do.
Fool a career dealer once and you're a story on that property for a year.
On a gaming floor, some things are off the table
Nothing in my material touches gambling, card cheating, or advantage play. Not a taste call -- it's a line I don't go near inside a casino, and I'd rather you hear that from me than wonder about it.
I'm also happy to walk surveillance and security through exactly what I'm doing before the first block. A man doing sleight of hand on your property for fifteen hours should be a known quantity to the people watching the cameras.
Vendor Ready
The paperwork won't be the hold-up
- Certificate of insurance on file, naming the Stillaguamish Tribe and Angel of the Winds Casino Resort as additional insured
- W-9 ready, and I'll complete tribal gaming vendor registration and badging on whatever timeline your compliance team needs
- Letter of Agreement and electronic invoice, or your paperwork and PO process -- whichever your AP department prefers
- Tell me who else has to sign and I'll get them what they need
Your Options
Three ways to do this
Day & Swing
Two blocks · six hours of performance
- 10:00a–1:00p and 5:00p–8:00p, or wherever your traffic is heaviest
- Close-up and walk-around throughout -- extraordinary feats of sleight of hand, prestidigitation, legerdemain, mentalism and comedy
- Continuous audience participation, worked in rotating groups
- Covers day and swing in full
$8,450 + hotel
Every Shift
Three blocks · nine hours of performance · 10:00a–1:00a window
- 10:00a–1:00p, 5:00p–8:00p and 10:00p–1:00a -- day shift, swing and graveyard
- Close-up and walk-around throughout -- extraordinary feats of sleight of hand, prestidigitation, legerdemain, mentalism and comedy
- Three rotating sets, so the team members who catch me twice never see the same thing twice
- 800 people across fifteen hours is the whole reason for the third block
- Every shift gets the identical day. That's the version you described wanting.
$11,250 + hotel
The Full Window
Unbroken coverage · 10:00a–1:00a · three performers
- Magic running continuously for the entire fifteen hours, no gaps
- I anchor and perform the peak blocks; two close-up performers I've worked with and vouch for cover the rest
- Two areas covered at once during your heaviest traffic
- I book, brief, and manage them -- one contract, one invoice, one person responsible
$16,750 + hotel
I will hold this date until September 21, 2026.
That gives your team time to review this and route it to whoever needs to see it. A Letter of Agreement and an electronic invoice for the deposit locks the date.

Fifteen hours is a long day. I've built it so the people working the back half of it get the same show as the people working the front, which is the thing you told me you cared about.
Let me know how I can be of service to you.
