Hi, Blaze. We are going through these comments as we relaunch the site. Your idea to uprank performers who specialise is great. We've been looking for a low intensive way to do this besides actually manually checking over each magicians' websites to see what they really specialise in. We've added the option to add multiple events and styles to the redesign, but we're still building out the user end which will let performers update their info easily from their dashboard.

Currently you can only add a single style and up to 3 event types, which is a good idea to prevent people from just ticking every box.
At the same time though, I think there are even more people who legitmately could list several.
Personally, along with general Close-up magic, I also do comedy stage and parlour shows, so it's hard to choose just one of those 4 possibilities (1. Close-up, 2. Comedy, 3. stage, 4. Parlour).
I set it as comedy, but as the site grows, I'm concerned someone might search for a close-up magician in Australia or similar, and I wouldn't appear on the list at all.
Same with the different Events - most magicians will often do more than just 3 of the different types.
I don't know how difficult it would be to arrange coding wise, but what if everyone could add any number of Styles and Events, but the more you add, the lower you will appear on the search?
So if someone specialised in nothing but weddings and only ticked Wedding, they would appear first on a wedding search. On the other hand, someone who just ticked every box would appear, but on the very bottom of the search.
