Question 1

What variety acts get booked most in Egypt?

Accepted Answer

Stage magic, fire performance, and aerial / acrobatic acts lead — they read well in hotel show formats. Close-up magic for galas is also strong.

Question 2

Insurance and safety for fire / acrobatic acts — who covers it?

Accepted Answer

Acts with public-liability insurance get priority booking; we can advise on local providers if you don't have one. Venue rigging for aerial work is checked by our team before each show.

Question 3

Residency or one-off galas?

Accepted Answer

Most artist contracts are 3-6 months — that's our preferred residency length and what we offer most performers. We also book one-off engagements for themed galas, weekend feature shows, and brand activations when the right gig comes through. When a booking spans multiple venues in a single night, we coordinate the transitions so the night flows smoothly.

Question 4

Does pay increase if I stay longer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Returning performers get raises across contracts — we adjust for inflation and recognize the value of someone the venues already trust. Your second residency starts higher than your first.

Question 5

Equipment — do I bring my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes for personal kit (props, costumes, fire rig, custom rigging components). Venue provides stage, sound, and standard lighting.

Question 6

Travel and accommodation?

Accepted Answer

Return flights to your home city are always covered; arrival flights sometimes, confirmed per booking. Accommodation plus transportation to and from the venue are included for the contract dates.

Question 7

What papers do I need to prepare?

Accepted Answer

Touch The Stars handles the paperwork end-to-end — that's part of why hotels work with an agency rather than booking direct.
