Christian entertained my family and friends with close up magic as well as a magic show. He was careful to involve everyone from small children to older adults. Christian's sleight of hand and tricks are truly magical. Christian incorporated card and rope tricks and other traditional magic tricks, but the evening really got exciting when he did tricks that you see on shows like America's Got Talent. This evening was poignant as we celebrated my recently deceased wife's birthday. Christian went overboard to accommodate our needs and wants. I highly recommend Christian and Discord Illusions.

Christian did a very nice job. I would say I made the biggest mistake because in the agenda leading up to his proformance, I kept calling him a comedian. I wish I could go back in time to make sure and change that to magician/comedian.

Photos from this event
I have seen Christian preform multiple times at various events. The last time I saw him he asked if I wanted to see a card trick and obviously I said yes. During this I was aware that he was going to switch cards on me. I mean that's kind of what a card trick is. I was looking for it to happen and at some point I was sure it had happened. I was watching for any tell to see it happen and I don't know how he did it. The whole time I was focusing on watching him and when he told me to look at the cards in my own hand my mind was blown. I won't ruin the surprise for you, hire him to come to your event to see it for yourself. Aside from being good at magic tricks he is very entertaining to talk to. You are never too old to have a magician at your party.

Christian was amazing at our event! He was so friendly with every guest and left people amazed by his magic. He was so good that I extended his time because people were LOVING him. I highly recommend using him for your next event!

I booked Christian for a night of Magic, music, and mystery in June 2022. He headlined the show for me. I could not have been happier. The crowd loved him. He was engaging, talented, and left them wanting more. In preparation for the show, Christian was helpful in planning my event. Given the level of his performance and the ease in which he was to work with, I would certainly hire him again.

We had Christian perform at our Gala in April (200 people in attendance) and he was an absolute hit with the crowd! Who doesn't like close-up, personalized magic tricks and illusions that will make you blurt out, "How'd he do that"?! If you want fun, fabulous and funny at your next event, then book Christian with Discord Illusions! You will be blown away!

We hired Christian for our daughters magician themed birthday party. It was so entertaining even the adults complimented me on what a great party it was. Highly recommend!!

Young or old. Kid or Adult. Christian’s delivery is VERY professional. In addition, my biggest compliment that stands out the most (outside of the amazing magic tricks) is the cross between putting on a magic show and entertainment with a good laugh. I love the crossroads between magic and comedy and it takes talent to be able to do both.

Had Christian do magic at a business-to-business networking event in Tulsa. Strolling magic was good to help the shy ones get more talkative and the photographer loved it for getting candid shots.

What to Expect
With a close-up appearance, Christian will entertain personally with small groups of people by wandering around your event in a reception, or at tables during dinner! You can relax and know your guests are looked after and entertained while Christian breaks the ice.
The most popular option, Christian's standup show, is the magic and comedy show that he has brought to corporate events and comedy clubs all over the Midwest. Ranging from 15 to 60 minutes by request and ideal for the stage, clients have chosen this show again and again for its award-winning comedy magic and fun audience participation.
For a hosting appearance, Christian will emcee and break the ice to bring all the elements of an event together, and keep your guests entertained throughout the entire evening. Christian will ensure your event runs smoothly and host awards, raffles, or auctions, introduce speakers, and sprinkle in comedy and magic whenever needed.
Christian is always punctual, quick to communicate, and professional. These are his most common services, but his wide expertise in performing has allowed him to apply his skills to all sorts of custom events and appearances.
