Tips Without Breaking the Spell

Your audience tips silently after each routine, reactions capture the gasps you can't see, and booking inquiries come in while you're still performing.

Picture This

Close-up magic at a high-end restaurant. Table-hopping with your iPerform QR code on a sleek business card you leave at each table.You finish a coin routine at a four-top — the couple across from each other exchange wide-eyed looks.

As you move to the next table, a silent $15 tip comes in from the couple, along with a message: "How did you DO that?!" Throughout the evening, you work 12 tables. Tips flow silently after each $185 total by the end of the night.

You never broke character, never pulled out a phone, never mentioned money. Your dashboard shows the coin routine had the highest engagement across all tables.

And there's a booking inquiry from a couple — they want you for their daughter's birthday party next month.

Why iPerform Works for Magicians

Keep the magic alive while tips flow silently.

Silent Tipping

Tips come in after you leave the table or finish a routine. No awkward money talk, no breaking immersion. The QR code does the work.

Capture the Gasps

Live reactions from your audience show you which routines get the biggest response. See engagement data you can't catch while performing.

Table-Hop Seamlessly

Work multiple tables or zones without losing track. Your event page works everywhere in the venue — one QR code, many audiences.

Private Event Inquiries

Audiences can send booking requests directly through your profile. Turn a restaurant gig into private party bookings.

Stage Show Mode

Scale from close-up to theater. Whether it's 4 people at a table or 400 in a theater, the same tools adapt to your show.

Build Your Magic Following

Every person who scans your card can follow your socials, find your next show, and book you for events.

Pro Tips for Magic Success

Leave the Card, Don't Explain It

Place your business card with the QR code at the table before you start. Don't explain it. Let curiosity do the work — people scan after you leave.

Time Your QR Code Placement

Leave the card face-up when you move to the next table. The best moment to scan is right after the reveal, when the magic is still lingering.

Never Check Your Phone Mid-Trick

Your phone is invisible during a performance. Tips, reactions, and bookings will be waiting. The magic dies the moment you break the fourth wall.

Use Reaction Data to Sequence Your Set

After a few gigs, your analytics will show which routines get the strongest reactions. Lead with your second-best, close with your best.

Restaurant Owner Partnership

Share your engagement data with the restaurant owner. When they see how many tables stayed longer and ordered more because of your performance, you become a permanent fixture.
