Colorado has a 4.4% flat income tax. Flat 4.4% income tax. Complex local tax jurisdictions — over 70 home-rule cities with their own sales tax rates. Denver occupational privilege tax ($5.75/month for employees).
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $576/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it billing, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most magicians in Arvada patch together HoneyBook, Calendly, Square, QuickBooks and other tools. That's $576/year paying for software subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $2,880.
With Nexa, you own your business software. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single platform. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No integration hacks. Zero integration overhead. It's a single payment — keep more revenue right away. For magicians in Arvada weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
My morning starts with the case for today's show: a kids' birthday party at two, forty-five minutes, for a boy turning seven. I reset every effect — linking rings, change bag, sponge balls, the coloring book, the dove pan that turns into candy, a cut-and-restored rope — and run the load list twice, because a missing gimmick at a party can't be fixed on site. The parents asked for the birthday kid's name to appear on a silk, so I rehearse that production and the patter around it, timed for little kids who shout out the secret before I get there. At the house I set up in the living room with the kids on the floor in front of me and nobody behind me, bring up a different volunteer for each routine, and save the finale for the birthday boy. After the show I twist balloon animals for every kid, pack up, and collect the balance from the parent. Tonight is different work: a strolling close-up set at a corporate dinner with cards, coins and a borrowed ring, so I change clothes, swap to the close-up case and check my card gimmicks are fresh. Between shows I answer inquiries — a school library show, a wedding cocktail hour — send quotes for the right package, chase the deposit for next Saturday's party and block the date so I don't double-book, then spend twenty minutes on a card sleight that still isn't clean enough.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a magician's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a magician — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
