Client Story
"The planning and booking process with you was so easy, I was worried I missed something. Everyone really enjoyed the magic show and thought it was a great addition to the event."
Taylor KemmelingPwC — Rochester, NY
PwC's Rochester team decided to shake up their holiday party. One interactive magic show later, staff were already asking about the Buffalo office.
Client Story
What Actually Happened
PwC's Rochester office had done the usual holiday party routine for years. Good enough, but forgettable by January. Taylor Kemmeling, who handled the event planning, decided to try something different: an interactive magic show for the whole team.
She found Chris, liked what she saw, and reached out. The booking process, as she put it, was so smooth it made her nervous. No chasing invoices, no unclear logistics, no last-minute surprises. Chris arrived early, handled everything himself, and had the room in stitches within ten minutes.
The show became the talking point of the night. People who had worked together for years were swapping reactions like they'd just seen something for the first time. Before the evening was even over, Taylor was already thinking about the Buffalo office.

Strolling magic means Chris moves through your event performing for small groups of 3–8 people at a time — ideal for cocktail hours and receptions. A parlor or stage show is a seated performance where all guests watch together, better suited for a dedicated entertainment moment during your event.
Pricing depends on the format, duration, and guest count. Corporate events typically start at $720 for walkaround magic and go up from there based on scope. Travel fees may apply depending on distance. The best way to get an accurate quote is to fill out the inquiry form below.
