Chris Herrick Magic

We had Chris perform at our art center as part of our Children's series. Several parents came out saying it was the best show they had seen. Chris was professional, entertaining and so great to work with. Highly recommend him!

Chris entertained a group of over 20 5-8 year old kids for my daughter's birthday party. He was fantastic! Chris was funny, and involved the kids in the show. His magic even captivated the adults! He was so professional, arrived ahead of time to set up, and waited till most kids arrived to start his show, although he had another show to run to after this. I will definitely be recommending him to all my friends.

Chris performed a terrific magic show for a recent school party of students ages 4-12. What we most appreciated about Chris's show was the interactive nature of each act and involving kids of different ages. He was funny and entertaining, and clearly had a great way of connecting with kids to keep them engaged for a 45 minute magic show! I highly recommend Chris's services to anyone thinking about entertainment for a party or event.

Chris was excellent in his communications before, during, and after the birthday party. He was punctual and ready to go when the kids were. His tricks were certainly age appropriate in that the kiddos (mostly 5 year olds) were able to follow and understand the tricks. His management skills of the kids was also excellent. He kept them engaged and their emotions/excitement under control, while fostering a fun, orderly environment. Would definitely use him again!

Chris was absolutely wonderful! He was very professional and connected with his audience so well! He came early and showed the birthday kids a couple of bonus tricks before the show. All the kids were captivated and attentive during the show...and they were giggling with laughter throughout! Afterwards, he was willing to show a few stragglers some behind the scenes tips. Everyone enjoyed the show...the target audience was 8 year olds, but we had attendees ranging in age from 3 to adult. We highly recommend Chris!

Chris kept 11 kids, ages 2 to 7, enthralled and engaged for a full 30 minutes! He had a role for anyone who wanted to be his assistant and easily accommodated a range of kids’ personalities - from
the energetic and the outspoken, to the more reserved and quiet children.

Chris was great to have come perform at our kids vacation week program. He was entertaining for all ages in attendance and the audience was laughing the whole time. He had a variety of different acts and a lot of audience participation. He was also easy to work with in scheduling and getting in contact with prior to and day of the event.

Excellent performance. Chris was quite amazing. His magic was just what we had hoped for. I'll certainly look to book him again in the future.

Chris Herrick performed a magic show for my daughter's 11th birthday party. All the guests had a wonderful time. Chris was entertaining, had a great variety of tricks, and had us all scratching our heads - how did he do that! He even taught the group how to do two tricks which everyone loved. I already recommended him to my neighbors and friends.

We had Chris perform for our company party at the Venezia in Boston and was mainly entertainment for the kids. What a great performance! Even the adults were thoroughly entertained. We especially appreciated the fact that Chris included the kids and some adults in the performance and was so good when some of the kids got restless! We will be recommending him to any one that is interested in a magician! Thank you so very much again!

I have had Chris at many of my kids parties and he is great! Fun & entertaining for kids and adults. I highly recommend Chris for parties, church, school or corporate events.

Chris preformed at my company Christmas party. I had never seen Chris preform before and he was amazing! His stage presence was wonderful. He kept everyone engaged and on the edge of our seats. The ticks were mind blowing, I’m still wondering how they were possible. My co-workers and their families really loved having Chris provide our entertainment. I would recommend Chris to preform for anyone, you just have to see the skills and talent he shows in his performance.

Chris was great. Although I was not able to attend the party itself, I heard nothing but great things. Kids as well as adults enjoyed his show. Thank you Chris.

What a professional!!!! Chris was so child appropriate!! The children and my staff continued to talk about how funny and amazing he was with his performance!!! We love Chris and Cant wait to have him come back!!!!

Chris did a fantastic job with the kids! He was conscientious, professional, interesting, good with the kids, and funny. He responded promptly when emailed about the event, showed up within a reasonable amount of time prior to the event, left when expected, and held the kids attention throughout the event. Overall, he seems to be not only great at being a magician with kids, but also a good person. If you ask me, hiring him was worth every dollar spent!

Chris was our "wandering" magician at a charitable fundraising walk we hosted in Medford. He arrived on time and immediately started engaging our walkers! Old to young were amazed by his illusions. Just seeing the faces of the kids as he performed his magic was well worth having him. He was the talk of the event. We were all very pleased with him and glad we had made Chris Herrick Magic the entertainment at our event.

I booked Chris for my son's 4th birthday party and I could not recommend him more highly to others! The kids were a group of 4-5 year olds - they were all belly laughing throughout the performance and my son had a huge smile on his face from beginning to end. The kids were able to volunteer and be involved in the act, and my son got to go up a few times, and felt like the star of the show. Chris kept the entire group entertained for 45 solid minutes, and the parents were laughing along the entire way. I had various parents come up to me and comment on how great he was. Absolutely perfect for a group of young kids. We were so happy with everything, thank you so much Chris!!

Chris made the entire process a piece of cake! He managed to entertain and hold the attention of about 20 three to six-year-old children for an hour, which surely speaks to his magic abilities!!

We had Chris at our A2FC Summer Camp for our gymnasts and campers and while we were not quite sure what we were entirely in for.....He did NOT disappoint!!!! Everybody in attendance from our gymnasts, campers, parents, and staff have not been able to stop talking about our fantastic magic show. In the words of one of our campers...."He was AMAZING....and so Tricky!!!" Magic tricks performed right in front of our eyes....we still don't know how he did what he did!!!!! Chris was professional, fabulous with all the kids of all ages and very engaging. He included kids in everything he did....even us "Big" kids!!!!
Awesome job Mr. Chris!!!!! Can't wait for next year's camp!!!!!!
If you need a magician for your next party or event....Chris is your guy!!!!! :)

We had a great time Chris was awesome had a great experience looking forward to having him in our part again

Chris provided a unique and magical experience for a roomful of 10 year olds at my son's birthday party. He kept them engaged…and amazed! Chris is punctual, friendly, polite and talented. Don't hesitate to hire him!

Chris recently performed a 1 hour show for (110) 4th grade students in an elementary school. He captivated the entire student audience including 30+ adults for the full hour. The tricks Chris chose were perfect for this age group. He was wonderful with the children and a great entertainer. He was also very flexible and accommodating during the scheduling process. I would highly recommend Chris!

Chris left a lasting impression on our son, he is still talking about some of the tricks performed and has even attempted to recreate some. Very age appropriate and a definite bonus was how many were asked to participate in the show which kept them even more engaged. This event was for my son's 7th birthday and I would definitely recommend Chris for your next party!

Chris was great from start to finish! He started by helping us out when we needed to start late by keeping them laughing while they waited. And he tailored the show for the younger kids, repeating things until they really got it, and really they were so engaged and excited the entire show!

My son, whose 8th birthday we celebrated, said that it was his best birthday party - and this was thanks to Chris and his magic show! Chris was very professional, responsive, and easy to work with at all stages of the party planning. He kept children and adults engaged and entertained for 50 minutes, and most kids got to be involved in performing some of his tricks. As it turned out, Chris came to our party on his own birthday. Thank you, Chris!

Chris put on a wonderful show. My 6-year old son and his friends were completely engaged. Great tricks and great humor. Chris was tremendous with the kids. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We had Chris for our 7YOs birthday party. There were about 20 kids and they loved it! I couldn't believe he got them to sit and watch for over 45mins! Adults loved seeing the kids enjoy it so much and commented how he really worked to engage the audience. He was on time, professional, and friendly. We would recommend him for other children parties!

Chris was a pleasure to work with-very responsive and professional. The show was for my son's 5th birthday. There were about twenty 5-6 yr olds and they were on the edge of their seats for the full 45 minute show. All of the parents commented about how impressed they were with the show as well as Chris' ability to hold the kiddos' attention. My son was thrilled with his special day thanks to Chris!!

Chris arrived on time.. His magic was so engaging... my daughter enjoyed as well as her guests.

As communicated, Chris arrived about 30 mins prior to the start time to prepare/set up for the show. The magic show was for 6:45 pm and upon request Chris moved the show to 7 pm and he was able to accommodate this as he mentioned he had no shows later that day. Thank you for hanging around extra 15 mins while we waited for guests to arrive. The children truly enjoyed his show and they loved being part of the interactive show. We could hear all the kids screaming and laughing and they were completely entertained for the duration of the show. Thank you, Chris!

Working with Chris was a great experience from beginning to end. He was professional upon first contact and continued to be so throughout the simple booking process. He showed up on time and didn't need too much room, so he fit perfectly in our living room. He tailored the show so it was appropriate for the fourteen, mostly 5th grade boys. They loved it! They started off sitting on the couches and ended up all piled on top of each on a couple of bean bags right in front of him in anticipation! Chris interacted so nicely with this age of boys. He remembered their names and included all the kids who wanted to be included into various acts (with special attention to the birthday boy!) He was fun and suspenseful, with a "cool" demeanor that was perfect for this age group. I highly recommend him and imagine he would be great for all ages. Days later, we're still trying to figure out how he did some of the acts. It was an awesome and engaging party! Thank you so much!

Chris is awesome! The kids was amazed w a whole performance. The best thing we got to our daughter birthday party.

Chris arrived right on time for my 6 yr old harry potter themed bday party and set up quickly and easily. He was so excited to be here that his energy reflected his performance. The children ages 5-10 as well as the adults were completely engaged. To describe the childrens reaction id say MESMERIZED... he was exactly was i wanted for my Lil guy and now i think he opened a new door for my son as now he believes hes a wizard and tries to recreate all hes seen.. lol thank you Chris im humbly grateful and i definitely recommend Mr. Herrick as you will not be disappointed.

Chris Herrick performed at my son's birthday party and he really AMAZING!
So entertaining & talented. He brought all kids into his act.
The kids really enjoyed themselves tremendously!!!

Chris arrived on time and started promptly and had the kids engaged, involved and laughing from the minute he started. He involved many kids from my daughters party to help with his tricks and the kids were sucked in. Even at the end when he was packing up he kids kept going over and asking to see his props and asking him questions and he was smiling and engaging with them. I would highly recommend Chris for your next kids magic show. Ages at our show were 6-10

We hired Chris for my sons 6th birthday party. Everyone loved him! He was great with the kids, and they loved his magic.. They were literally on the edge of their seats the whole time!
To be honest we had no idea what to expect.. Didn't know if he was going to be showing up in a cape.. Lol.. he wore a black blazer, as any classy magician would.. And put on a great show!

Chris did a good show for our 7 years old kid's party.
Everything was smooth in the entire process, from the contact on the website towards the end of the show.
Recommended.

Chris added a lot to our First Night celebrations...Next year we'll need either a bigger venue or more shows...

Chris was awesome the kids loved him as did the adults he kept us all entertained the whole time laughing and enjoying our selves we are definitely having him back next year

For thirty minutes, Chris had twenty-one children six years old and under engaged and laughing with his wonderful magic show. Chris was extraordinarily professional and communicated a good deal about logistics and the contents of the show prior to the event. We couldn't have been more pleased and are grateful for the lovely memory Chris created for our son and family.

I am so glad we hired Chris for our son's birthday party! From the initial contact, Chris was prompt and professional. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and in a timely fashion. He was great at keeping in touch over the few weeks leading up to the party. When Chris arrived at our home, he was self sufficient in his set up, which is ideal for an in home party! His magic show was awesome! It was age appropriate and Chris did an excellent job involving all the kids who attended. Even the adults were in amazement of his act! I would not hesitate to hire Chris in the future and highly recommend him for any party or event!

Chris performed an amazing magic show at my son's 8th birthday party. I can not recommend Chis enough. He has a warm engaging nature and his tricks had all of the kids roaring with laughter (and the parents too).

First, he made sure he knew who the birthday boy was and had my son assist in a number of tricks. Then he invited a number of the guests to assist with other tricks. All of the children felt as though they too were involved in the magic. As we all know 1st and 2nd graders can be a bit challenging, but Chirs definitely has the patience to handle a room full of kids and do so in a kind and gentle manner.

Thank you Chris, for making my son's birthday party such a memorable event!

We had a group of 26 students from age 5 to 10, and they all loved the magic show that Chris put on for them. He had a way of keeping there excitement throughout the whole program.
We will definitely have Chris again next year.

Thank you Chris.

Chris did so well with the kids! Everyone was at his attention :) They had a great time being able to help out Chris with his magic. It was a fun day for my son and his friends!! We are so happy we chose Chris for the party.

Chris was extremely responsive before the event. He showed up on time and was very kind and respectful. The kids loved the show. They loved being able to participate in the tricks. Chris had the kids laughing the entire show. I would absolutely suggest chris for your child's birthday party. We are extremely happy with our decision to go with chris!!

Thank you so much Chris for celebrating my sons 7th birthday with us! You're show was so entertaining for the kids and adults! I would definetly reccomend using him for any event! Thanks for making our party so magical!

The show was great fun and involved a lot of audience participation. He did a fantastic job controlling the rowdy boys and getting them to settle down. Highly recommend the show and very entertaining for the kids!

I found out the day before my daughter's 9th birthday party that one of the guests had a balloon phobia, so the balloon twister I booked was not an option. I sent out an appeal for a magician on gig salad and Chris got in touch. He rearranged his day with less than 24hours notice and gave a fantastic show that my daughter loved!!! It completely made her day and I was so grateful that he went above and beyond to help a stranger in need.

Chris performed at my Daughter's Birthday Party and was amazing! Chris had the 20 kid's (7&8yr olds) attention from beginning to end and was very entertaining, not only for the kids, but also for the adults. He performed a number of tricks and had all of the kids engaged with calling on "assistants" and having each of them involved in the show. Chris is very easy to work with and his communication was perfect. He is a consumate professional and is Magnificent! It is without any reservation that I recommend him for any birthday party or event. You will not be disappointed! Great Job Chris and thank you for making our Daughter's Birthday Party such a Magical Day!

Chris entertained about 15 kids at my son's christening and had them all captivated and engaged! My 3 yo daughter was sitting and watching the whole time which is surprising on its own!
When coordinating, Chris was so easy and flexible to work with. He is accommodating and very pleasant. Thank you so much for providing a great show Chris!

I am so happy with Chris' performance on Saturday! He kept the attention of all of the kids, ages 4-11! My son was super excited and enjoyed every minute of the show. I am 100% satisfied with my decision to have Chris perform at my son's birthday party & would recommend him to anyone!!

Chris was punctual, professional and put on a great performance for my son's 7th birthday party. I appreciated that he was "low tech" so didn't need to be inside, didn't require an electrical outlet or much space. The children loved him and I recommend him without hesitation.

Chris was exceptionally easy to work with through the booking process, pricing was worth every penny, and the show itself was incredibly fun, for kids and adults alike. He is so well suited to doing magic for kids (we had 2 year olds to 7 year olds) and was able to engage them, have fun, instruct them, making his show seamless. I would highly encourage you to book him and recommend him without reservation. My neighbors are likely booking him next month for their kids' birthday after attending our party this weekend!

Chris performed about a 45-60 minute act at my son's 6th birthday. He was excellent. He made sure to not only involve the birthday boy, but all of the children. I would highly recommend him... Your child (and friends) will not be disappointed.

Chris just preformed at my sons 6th birthday party. With 15-20 very active children I am very impressed at his ability to keep their attention, remain patient, make them laugh and loving his magic!
My son is so happy and I would hire Chris again in a heartbeat. He is a very pleasant guy to work with and does his job well!
