How To Get a +18 to a Perform check?

[Mazikeen]

I'm playing in a party of changelings who want to be a coven. As per the Blood of the Coven rules, you don't need a hag if you have three changelings. One of the players is going max charm - enchantment/illusion and leadership. We'd like to use that for recruiting more members for the coven. According to Blood of the Coven, the ritual for inducting more members into a coven beyond three includes two perform (song/dance) checks of 28. So now I'm looking for ways to boost the face's perform check while minimizing the necessary ranks needed to put in to get there. Here are the items I've found so far -

Cracked Magenta Prism Ioun Stone +2 Competence Bonus to a skill of your choice 800gp
either/or
Bracers of the Glib Entertainer +5 Competence Bonus to Perform + glibness 1p/d 7,900 gp (wrist slot)

Cracked Pink and Green Sphere +1 bonus (untyped?) to one charisma skill 200gp

True Skill Potion Cl 10 +5 insight 500 gp

Masterwork Tools +2 Circumstance bonus 50gp

I'm hoping to find more slotted items, other bonuses that can fit in with the others, maybe use some leadership nerds to shore them up?

Well Aid Another gives at least +2 untyped per person, and generally you can have more than 1 helper (unless something prevents multiple).

Mundane items:
* Dancer's Garb - +2 circumstance as Masterwork Tools.
* Perfume kit - +1 circumstance, 4 hr duration.
* Tome of Epics - +2 circumstance perform (sing), 24 hr duration.
* Artistic Ale - +2 alchemical bonus, 6 hr duration.
* Instrument of the Divine - +# of channel energy dice sacred/profane on next perform check.

Magic items:
* Phantom Entourage - +1 perform (sing), 1/day 6 hr duration.
* 4 leaf clover - +2 luck on a single check, 3/day.

Feats:
* Basic Harmony - replace Aid Another bonus for: "+1 for each 5 points of the check result, -5 on a failed check".

There are a few builds that makes Aid Another much better. And there probably are some feats and archetypes which help.

Remember Competence bonuses don't stack, but circumstance bonuses (not from the same source) do.

Can anyone cast 2nd level Sorcerer/Wizard spells? If so Visualization of the Mind delivers a +5 untyped bonus to all Skill checks with tied to a specific mental stat. Perform is Cha, so select Cha Skill checks when casting. This spell costs 200 GP but it lasts a full 24 hours.

I didn't realize circumstance bonuses from different sources stacked, that's great news! I also didn't realize how many mundane items that could be of use. Thank you so much!
