Chuck was an absolute delight!!! I highly, highly, highly recommend. Days later, my mind is still trying to figure out the tricks he did. I greatly appreciated how he took the time to learn everyone’s names and he made sure to include everyone in the performance. My friends kept telling me this was the best party they have been to and it was all thanks to Chuck! Don’t hesitate and book him! More...

Chuck was an "undercover" magician posing as a guest at my wifes Birthday party. Although my guests quickly figured out who he truley was, they all enjoyed his magic. He was very engaged with all our guests and made sure to visit all the tables which was no easy task considering we had close to 100 people attending. I would highly reccomend Chuck if you are in need of a magician. More...

Magician
Chuck was the star of our party. Everyone complimented us that we hit it out of the park with him as the main entertainment. He kicked off the evening in the middle of the room with a surprise trick that really wowe'd the group. He then traveled around the room and did personalized tricks for smaller groups. On top of it all, he was truly a joy to work with. I can't wait to hire him for our next gig! More...
