We hired Christopher for a couples shower of 75 people. He roamed through the crowd and performed much to their amazement and then had a half hour show at the end. He included the bride and groom on one trick. It was good, clean fun and an unexpected treat.

Children’s Party Magician
He was able to entertain and hold the attention for a wide range of ages. He included both children and adults in his acts. One of the 6 year olds said “he’s blowing my mind” . . Lol
Thank you.
We had him for a banquet and to be honest, it was beyond my expectation. very amazing.

Christopher arrived on time, and was not intrusive on the guests and activities, but engaged with nearly everyone at the banquet we held. Hes performed his closeup magic at the guests table and was thoroughly entertaining.

He was absolutely amazing!! I had quite the crowd of kids, and he had their attention the entire hour, and that is a very hard thing to do! The kids and the adults enjoyed the entire performance. The twins both said that it was their favorite part of their birthday! I loved how he incorporated them into the act, he even pulled mom in as well! I would definitely have him again, and highly recommend him for any kids birthday party!!
The team was upbeat, entertaining, and professional. We hired for our daughter’s birthday party. All the kids were engaged and amazed. Chris handed out magic wards for all the kids at the end of the show. This magic duo was the highlight of the party by all.

Comedy Magician
The Magical Entertainer came to my dad's 94th birthday party and spent about 30 minutes doing up-close magic to small groups and then performed for an hour to the whole group. It was fabulous!! We laughed SO hard and the magic was very good. He did a great job pulling up different people, including lots of the kids, to be part of the acts and it made it really memorable for everyone. It was truly a night we all won't forget. Thank you!
Everyone enjoyed the show, especially the birthday girl!!!!!

I can only sing praise for Christopher. He was courteous, on time, fun, entertaining, comedic, and disappeared at the end. There was no hassle of payment Bc it was all taken care of weeks ago. And the kids loved the show too!!! Thanks so much for a wonderful professional performance!!!
Mr. Bontjes engaged the audience of high school students right away and kept them involved and reacting by yelling appropriately and with plenty of laughs and oohs and ahhs!!

I engaged Christipher to walk around and entertain and amaze our staff and families at our Bowling Holiday Party. He was professional, accomplished, and unobtrusively presented his magic to our rather large and diverse group (150 ppl) during the evening. A fun addition to the evening. Lots of raves!!
