Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should we book?
From about two weeks out you have a wider choice of acts and performers. We also take last-minute enquiries when someone is available.
Our venue has no stage or sound system.
Table magic and street performance work without a stage. If any equipment needs to be brought in, we will tell you after a site visit.
Can we compare several performers?
Once we know what the event is, we put forward several performers and explain how their acts differ.
Can you travel outside Tokyo?
We take enquiries from anywhere in Japan. Travel within Tokyo is free of charge. Outside Tokyo, travel is charged at cost, and accommodation is charged separately when an overnight stay is required.
Who pays for the props and materials used in the act?
The performer covers the cost of materials and the transport of props. Only where the content is unusual or specially made do we discuss those costs separately.
Is there a cancellation fee?
Please tell us as soon as a cancellation is decided. If you contact us at least 30 days before the performance date, there is no cancellation fee. After that, the following applies according to the days remaining.
- 30 days or more beforeNone
- 29 to 20 days before30% of the quoted amount (excl. tax)
- 19 to 4 days before50% of the quoted amount (excl. tax)
- 3 days before to the day itself100% of the quoted amount (excl. tax)
Where an event is cancelled for reasons that are the fault of neither the organiser nor the performer - weather, disaster or a sudden accident - the full agreed amount is still payable. The performer has held the date open and has been preparing an act built for that particular event.
If the cancelled event is held again on a reserve date, the fee for that reserve date is charged separately. It does not replace the amount payable for the cancellation; it is a separate payment. The amount is agreed case by case, and we take your circumstances fully into account when we propose it.
For outdoor events and anything else at the mercy of the weather, we recommend agreeing what happens in bad weather - moving indoors, setting a reserve date - before the contract is signed. Please raise it when you enquire.
Do you need a dressing room?
We ask that a dressing room be provided. If that is difficult, please talk to us.
Can we film and post to social media on the day?
It depends on the act and the performer. Tell us in advance and we will let you know how far you can go.
Can we book the same performer again?
Yes, you can request a performer by name. It depends on availability, so please talk to us as soon as your date is fixed.
* The above is general guidance. It can change with the content of the event and the conditions of the venue.
