raise money with Magic By The Slice and put the "fun" in fundraising!
Put Magic By The Slice in your live auction when you book Brian as your auctioneer. Yup, he does that too! Having parlayed his quick witted performance style into auctioneering, Brian has been working with organizations of all sizes since 2016.
Leading up to your event, he'll gladly make suggestions as to what order we ought to auction your items, suggest opening bids, talk details about your paddle raise (if you're having one) and share with you a few other tricks he has up his sleeve.
On the day of your event, Brian likes to keep it pretty relaxed and groovy. He believes the more fun your guests have, the more likely they are to participate. He strikes a balance between having fun, knowing when to nudge and when to say SOLD! It's this approach that has helped his clients reach or exceed their fundraising goals."

"We had the pleasure of hosting Brian, an incredibly talented auctioneer and magician at our Annual Mardi Gras Fundraising Gala and he truly made the evening unforgettable. His dynamic auctioneering skills kept the crowd engaged and excited, leading to an impressive and successful auction (best in years). He performed double duty as our roaming magician with a captivating performance that added a magical touch to the night, leaving our guests in awe and wonder. Brian was truly a delightful professional and entertainer that ensured that our gala was a hit. We highly recommend him for any event that needs an extra spark of magic and energy! "

"Just excellent work Brian! We had a great time and very much appreciated your seemingly effortless lightness while keeping it professional and doing a bang up job at the auctioneering. I truly felt you added a fundamental piece we've been missing at our golf event. I hope we can work together again in the future."
