We have built a full recording studio for Kevin’s virtual show. It includes professional lighting and sound, and we use broadcast software to create an immersive performance for guests.

There are quite a few acts out there performing virtual entertainment, but most are focusing on either keynote speeches, or “watch what I can do” presentations that really focus on one particular person doing most of the talking.

“Virtually Impossible” is a show that transcends the screen. It’s not about camera tricks, hidden green screens, or special effects. It’s about your colleagues, your business partners, and your friends & family. Kevin uses objects founds in your guest’s homes and offices during the show, and their input determines exactly what happens!

In addition to Kevin’s show, we offer consulting, design, and sourcing for custom decks of cards, wine labels, and more that can be shipped to your customers in advance of the event, and incorporated into the show.

You or your company will be responsible for fulfillment and shipping.

In addition to our live virtual programs, Kevin has designed a variety of acts that can be performed as quick, pre-recorded mind reading segments. He can act as a virtual emcee with pre-recorded messages and content to help weave a common thread through your meeting.

On Zoom, we can normally invite everybody into the show together, up to about 150 guests. Above that number, we recommend hosting the program as a webinar, where you can select a smaller group as “panelists.”

Zoom makes it incredibly easy to split the screen into two windows, allowing a production assistant in a remote location to direct the show and allow for enhanced views, like what you see below. This is impossible natively in virtual platforms.

Please visit Zoom’s Official Security Documentation and follow their best practices. A few of special note:

1. ALWAYS have a password and require registration and email confirmation to receive meeting details. 
2. In the “security” box, make sure to un-check “Guests can change their names.” That way you can identify anybody causing trouble and boot them from the room.
3. Make sure you have settings where only co-hosts can share their screens
4. Enable the waiting room, and only let guests in whose names match their registration.

Kevin will join your hosted meeting, and will need to be made a co-host immediately upon joining. Kevin can host the meeting himself for smaller groups, but please keep in mind that is like having the entertainment provide the venue as well. It’s best to have a dedicated member of your team in charge of letting guests in and out, and moderating everybody.

All guests should ideally be watching the show on a desktop or laptop computer. If that can’t be done, then we recommend a tablet, and finally their phone can be used as a last resort, although it isn’t recommended. The screens are too small to comfortably enjoy the show.

Your selected platform needs to allow for “virtual cameras,” which allow us to use Kevin’s custom backgrounds and settings to deliver the best quality video. For live shows, there also needs to be an easy way for Kevin to see other audience members and to interact with them in real time.

Most platforms take an “active speaker” approach, meaning that the video for the loudest person is displayed. In an interactive mind-reading show, this is problematic because it means that Kevin won’t be on screen when other guests are speaking. This creates a choppier experience for everybody watching, and leads the the virtual meeting fatigue that we all know so well.

Similarly, most platforms allow for a limited display of guests, as opposed to Zoom’s 49 participants per screen capabilities. This makes it harder to pick guests to interact with.

For programs outside of Zoom, we typically recommend a smaller audience size for active participants, as well as having everybody watch the show in a “gallery view.” If you bring Kevin on with only a few guests, everybody will remain visible, and the attendees can watch this webinar format. It isn’t quite as interactive for everybody, but it is a far better experience!
