From 1987 to 1997 if you saw Ronald McDonald in public, that was likely me, as I spent 10 years wearing the Big Red Shoes and traveling for McDonalds mostly in BC and the Yukon.

Craig was impressive and so fun! It was for a friend's 28th birthday and he read the room so well with his performance and jokes, getting lots of laughs and surprises with us group of girls! We'd recommend 10x over! Thanks Craig! More...

I booked Craig the magician for my child’s Harry Potter-themed birthday party, and he was fantastic! He was prompt, organized, and tailored a special performance to fit the theme perfectly. Arriving early, Craig was professional and kept the kids entertained with plenty of laughs and engagement. He made my child feel like the star of the show as his main helper and crafted balloon art for every kid. We were very happy with the experience! More...

Craig was perfect entertainment for my son’s 7th birthday party. Both the kids and parents were thrilled. Craig was professional, well organized and punctual.
I heartily recommend him.
By the way, how to you get the rings to intertwine or separate. Great bit of magic.

We had Craig perform at my son's 9th birthday party and he was absolutely fantastic! The kids had a blast from start to finish. He's not only a talented magician but also incredibly funny - his clean, witty humor had both kids and adults laughing. Craig was also very accommodative and easy to work with, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend him! More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
Been performing magic since I was 11 years old, so that is 44 years!
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
This show has passed the test of time, as I was from 1987 to 1997, the most famous clown in the world, Ronald McDonald. Of course, I don't dress like Ronny anymore, but the tricks of the trade has amazed children and parents for over 40 years. The show itself is around 30 minutes and then I make animals balloons for the all the kids and the birthday child get some extra special attention with the balloon twisting, making him/her the star of the show.
What do you love most about your job?
To make children laugh and be amazed, and when I fool the parents as well, that's a huge part of the show.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have decided to get back into performing on a professional level after spending the last 30 years doing magic part time and being a full time entrepreneur. Now that I have 3 grandkids, 10, 4 and 2, they love it when Papa Craig comes over and has balloons in his pocket.
