About
Whether it's a corporate event, ballroom soirée, wedding, cocktail hour, public speaking engagement, meeting, office get-together, or even a simple house party BBQ, experiencing magic in person creates a more intimate experience, putting the power in your hands to truly connect and entertain your guests on a personal level. I don't rely on large stage productions with flashy dancers and pyrotechnics. As a public speaker and instructor, I understand how to engage and hold the attention of a captive audience. I infuse my public speaking skills with a magical touch, delivering a memorable message that will amaze and inspire. If you own a bar or restaurant or are hosting an event at one, I'm here to add an extra touch of wonder and magic. My life's mission is to bring smiles to people's faces and offer a break from the world's troubles. I aim to reignite the whimsy and joy in people's lives - after all, magic isn't just for kids, and sometimes it's exactly what adults need to recapture their sense of awe and wonder.

For my son's 1st birthday party, I engaged Chris to entertain the adults. Prior to the party, he was highly cooperative and responsive. He arrived before the appointed time for setup and demonstrated top-notch professionalism and entertainment skills. My guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance! I unequivocally recommend Chris to everyone!
