I think it wouldn't make much sense for him to be randomly in disguise - especially if the people knew who they were hiring. speaking of which, did Ran hire him? Because if she's surprised by his appearance, she'll flip. flip a couple of tables, that is.
I think... the Detective Boys might bring up the idea, endearing as they are. maybe they searched up some magicians on the internet ("Conan would have fun figuring out the tricks!" / "yeah, and then we can learn them and do them ourselves!" ) but only found very professional magicians. and then maybe they ran across kaito as he was showing off for aoko or something? I dunno XD
The whole no-disguise would make more sense if someone referred Kaito to them, but I can't imagine who'd do that. the casts don't really interact much outside of kid heists. :/

I like that idea in the second paragraph ^-^ Now, the only problem is, how to stop Conan from connecting guy-who-looks-like-Shinichi with Kid-looks-like-Shinichi . . . Or, we can go complete canon, completely disregard the movies, and say that Kid doesn't know Conan is Shinichi, and so hasn't disguised as him, and so Conan doesn't know Kid looks like Shinichi. But there'll still be the fun of Kid participating in a party for Tantei-kun ^-^

My thoughts are that I think it would be funny if Kaito didn't know he was performing at Conan's party until he got to maybe the Professor's house and saw the Tanteidan. Then he could have an "Oh #%$&!" moment, but he couldn't back out because he'd already been paid.
I think it'd work better if we disregard the movies for this one, so Conan doesn't know what Kid looks like, but as Kaito performs, he can kind of have a feeling that this magician is really, obnoxiously familiar.
As for how Kaito gets hired, the Tanteidan probably come to Ran with help with the planning, and after she exhausts her list of magician friends from cases that aren't either dead or in jail, she turns to Sonoko and Sonoko's connections with her online magician friends. And Sonoko gets Kaito's name that way, through word of mouth. Because I don't know that Kaito would willingly expose his true identity as a magician in front of Conan, so the Tanteidan asking him off the street might not work.
What do you guys think?

I totally believe Sonoko runs a Kaito Kid fan site and Kaito participates just for the giggles. They could have met there, he could have told he was a magician, and Sonoko decided to ask him.
I agree to the ideas so far.

^.^; Which idea? Or my entire previous post?
I agree with Kaggami about Sonoko and Kaito so long as Kaito doesn't know whom in particular the party is for until he gets there like I was talking about above.

This is a surprisingly coherent story for so many ideas! It's making SENSE! But when it comes to the party and they meet each other, who's point of view would this be from? On one hand, with Conan's point of view, you can get a lot of sarcastic comments about magicians with their illusions, and also there's a comedy element for the readers because we all know who the magician REALLY is. On the other hand though, Kaito's point of view would come with the shock of seeing the scary smart kid who's gained the nickname of "the KID Killer" on the news. With Kaito though, the comedy is more likely to come from trying really hard to not do or mention anything that has to do with KID and the random things that he does because of close calls that are very likely to happen. Either way though, we'll get interaction between the two of them as civilians, and that'll be fun no matter what ^_^

yeah! //wonders how long it'll be because if it ends up being long enough to split into parts we could have a kaito part and a cone part//
wait, I can't remember if it was discussed, but is it a round robin-esque sort of thing? I think it would be more fun if it was a "type what you want, edit what you want" (with limits on how much you can write in one go / no completely deleting other's parts (editing is okay) without talking it over first) except there'd be trouble if two people attempted to edit at the same time, depending on what site we're using to write the story on. putting a claim would work...
round robin would make this very very similar to multiple people rping the same chara XD
//kind of thinks that google docs would actually be wonderful for something like this//
I mean it lets you see revision history (so you can see if anyone made minor edits) AND when someone else is typing or even looking at the document at the same time as you, AND it has a chatting area. fake/spam accounts can be used to preserve privacy, and aren't too hard to set up). fake accounts are useful anyhow haha also this way it's more of a unique sort of collab fic instead of round robin or rp
oh, and shall we agree to limit our characterizations to as canon as humanly possible (because everyone has their own deeper interpretations of the characters and it might get weird if they clash?) I'm more worried about Kaito, since there's more theorizing in his side of the characterization equation.

I like the idea of it being in Kaito's perspective ^-^ In my opinion, I think it'll be more fun seeing Kaito's thoughts about Tantei-kun and his struggles to contain himself than seeing Conan's sarcastic thoughts about magicians. Mainly cuz if it's from Conan's perspective, we'll barely be able to see Kaito's reaction unless his poker face shatters completely.
I like Starlight's ideas! Yeah, the only thing would be google accounts, so . . .

besides, Conan has a suckish poker face. in dire situations he can be cute, but he could never really keep the deadpanned -_- look off his face, so Kaito should be able to pick up on that too and internally mock conan's poorly hidden exasperation / frustration XD. or we could do third omniscient.
we'd have to check and see if that's available for everyone...

That's a really interesting idea! I don't know much about roleplaying or round robin writing, but google docs certainly seems like it would efficient! That way the fic stays under control because everyone's reading and editing the whole thing as its being written! But is that something to set up sooner rather than later so that the fic gets written as things or being decided? Or should that wait until EVERYTHING is sorted out?
Third person omniscient is going to need a lot of quick transitions that could end up looking choppy, but then again it might just work if done right. Hmm....
Plot wise, so far, it looks like the beginning with the detective boys and the premise of the party is set in stone, no? But then, once he gets to the party, what's he do? Also, WHERE is the party? I've been imagining it in either Poirot Cafe or Shinichi's house (for whatever reason), but looking through the past posts, I don't think the setting's been mentioned yet...
(good gosh I ask a crap ton of questions...)

(questions are good! they help us locate plotholes before we get the show on the road seewhatIdidthere) Shinichi's house would be big enough, certainly. except... what about subaru? poirot cafe would be a nice nod to this site, but... {scaaarrrlllleeetttt needs to come out already DON'T TOUCH THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW ZEH TRUTH BEHIND ZEH WAITER} bourbon and everything, Conan's thoughts/attitude towards him would be massively different and very spoilery
kaito will probably pull off a bunch of tricks. momentarily panic. cake will be involved and kaito will definitely ask to have some of it. The google doc can be set up once we start writing, so it doesn't get cluttered with all the plotting - which we're doing here.
