June 6, 2020Every wedding needs Chris’s magic and comedy
Chris was exceptional, far exceeded my expectations. He is a classy, hilarious magician with a great rapport with children. He is cheeky and inclusive. The venue staff approached me after his performance to obtain his card and tell me that as caterers, they had not enjoyed a wedding as much as ours, filled with laughter and magic. Our guests still remark on Chris’s performance. Thank you, Chris!

May 30, 2018More than we could of Dreamed Of!!! Best in the Business!!!
Chris was great with the kids and the adults. The kids were still talking about the show two weeks later at school. Will be looking for reasons to book Chris again for any adult or child party. Chris did everything that we asked for and more. We wanted to make sure it would be fun for early teen boys and Chris delivered and some. Would recommend everyone who wants to have a great event with someone who really listens to your needs and wants and goes the extra mile to make it a great event, book with Chris Yuill. Then you can sit back with no stress and enjoy the show knowing that once you book with Chris, your event will be handled and everyone will have a blast. Can;t say enough great things about the event or Chris!

May 12, 2026It was such a great show
We had chris for our girl's 4th birthday. The show was amazing all the kids were so engaged and had a great time. Chris also was gra ious enough to wait for a little bit before all our guest were in even if that meant starting beyond the time we had promised him.

October 23, 2025The best of the best
I had the great honour of having Chris at one of our business functions. I was able to sit up at the front of the room and thought I would be able to figure out his magical secrets. I was wrong. He’s so good, I couldn’t find a single flaw. His magic and humour are hilarious. Cris Yuill is a genuine, caring, and awesome guy. I would use him over and over again. Anyone looking for a great evening event or show, hands-down, I would use Chris again and I'd recommend him to anyone. Thanks again for a great event.

What to expect
My performance is completely self-contained; I have my own sound system, backdrop and lights, if you do not have already in your venue. My show is clean and tasteful, uses very visual magic, audience participation, and a live bird.
I have Several types of shows:
The regular show a 60-minute Comedy magic stage show.
Some clients enjoy having a little pre (or post)-performance walk around/table magic included in their event. An hour of walk-around magic added to your event before or after the show is a nice addition.
If your event is on a tighter budget, I am able to offer a shorter performance of a 45-minute stage show.
I also do Family Friendly and Children's shows
As every client has unique needs, we can discuss the details and price to meet your requirements.
I also own and operate Excellence Entertainment and I book other acts as well such as comedians, magicians, and Hypnotists.
Please call or email if you are interested
I look forward to speaking with you in the near future.
Thanx, Chris

Re: Chris Yuill – Comedian/Magician
I write this letter in support of Chris Yuill.
Our association hired Mr. Yuill to provide entertainment at our Annual Holiday Event. Mr. Yuill, drew a big crowd for our association, as he is quite well regarded in the comedy/magic field.
Mr. Yuill was there well ahead of time, in order to prepare his set up, and check out the room. At all times, Chris was professional and courteous, plus he is hilarious, the audience was in stitches. He performs some pretty amazing magic acts as well.
After the event we had many positive comments from our members. "loved him" "couldn’t stop laughing" "oh my goodness so hilarious" and "super nice guy."
We would be pleased to have Chris back to entertain us. I would highly recommend Chris Yuill for any event.
Yours very truly,
Victoria Legal Support Staff Association

"Chris was amazing to work with. He was super friendly & great entertainment for our children at our community Christmas Party. Every child was intrigued and engaged in his entire act! All the kids were laughing and got to participate in the show. Comes with his own equipment and so polite. He was a hit!" Gina (Tzeachten First Nation)
I was not expecting the level of AMAZING. The kids and adults laughed until our faces hurt. Chris’s magic tricks, comedic timing and delivery were on point. He has us screaming and laughing and cheering. If there is a Stanley Cup of magic, it’s Chris Yuill.
Jessica Swan
I invited Chris to my daughter's birthday party to perform the magic show to her friends. All the kids loved his performances and provided high comments on his shows. My daughter felt so proud to have him to her birthday party. Chris made the shows suitable for my daughters' age.(10-11 years old). I will recommend him to my friends or clients if they need such magician performance in the future.
Melissa
Chris came in as a special guest for our summer camps and the kids absolutely loved him! His performances were funny and he even had our staff mezmorized. Our kids ranged in age but Chris made sure to accommodate his act for all ages to keep the kids engaged and he did so perfectly! His turnover time between performances was so quick and his enthusiasm and energy remained high throughout all four performances that he put on. His response time was very quick and his communication was very efficient which was greatly appreciated. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is interested in his magic performances! Thanks again Chris!
