Chris was great to work with. Great communication every step of the way and arrived early to be sure all was ready in time. Our corporate dinner guests had so much fun with his magic! Definitely recommend booking with Chris!

My Mission
"I make it my personal mission to ensure everyone that wants to experience magic at a up close and personal level has the chance. Close up magic, also known as Chicago Style Magic, is my specialty. It's one thing to see illusions on stage many yards away. You many never get the opportunity to meet to speak with the artist. What I do brings the craft to you. The magic is happening at your table and in your hand. There's a great deal of love knowing that my craft brings laughs and happiness on a up close and personal level."
