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!

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!

Chris performed for my son’s 5th birthday and it was a hit! All the kids, including the adults, enjoyed the show very much. He kept all the kids engaged and excited about the tricks. Chris even remembered that it was my mother in law’s birthday and had a special trick for her before the show. Booking with Chris was super easy and he was very professional. You won’t regret booking a show with him.

Hi Chloe,
Thanx for the awesome review. I had fun also. You guys were a great group to perform for.
Chris was professional, courteous, and dependable right from the get go, very quick to reply to questions etc. His show was entertaining with a lot of classic magic tricks and he managed well despite being mercilessly heckled by a gaggle of tween girls the entire show. He seems to take his craft very seriously even though I’m not entirely sure of his membership status in the Alliance of Magicians. Would definitely book him again.

Chris performed at my son's birthday party and it was amazing! All our guests children and adults alike were engrossed in the magic show. He was funny, engaging, and it was very interactive. The show was the perfect length of time and it truly appealed to all ages.My son turned three and at the end of his party he told us the magician was his favourite part as did all our guests. Well worth it!

I’m so lucky to have Chris performed at my son’s 10 year old birthday. We have 7 kids coming and all of them had a wonderful time with Chris! He is a talented magician that can make everything in control . He made the time passing by so quickly. We really enjoyed his show! The funny Pom-Pom trick made everybody laughing!

It was so much fun to have Chris entertain the children and adults at my son’s birthday celebration. The kids were older so they tried to figure out how Chris did his magic but he was ahead of them!!! Thoroughly entertaining for all guests to sit back and enjoy. We recommend Chris for your function. Our guests are still talking about the fun they had watching his show. Thanks Chris and we will see you again!!

Huge thank you to Chris for performing a zoom birthday for my 10-year-old daughter. He was very accommodating to my lack of technology and made me feel at ease for hosting my first ever zoom birthday party. His magic tricks were amazing, his personality was entertaining! All the kids totally enjoyed his jokes and his tricks. I will use him again - and hopefully when I do covid will be over and we can see him in person. But if not, I would gladly do it again over zoom. Which actually was a lot less stressful (didn't have to clean the house ;)

Chris was the perfect entertainer for our daughter's 8th birthday in the park. He kept the kids engaged and entertained the entire show. Would definitely consider him again!

Thank you so much for having me entertain at your event. The kids were very well behaved and lots of fun
Chris came early and set up without any help from us as we were busy greeting. He entertained the kids even before his show started and handed out booklets for the kids which they were obsessed with. After an amazing 45 minute show he was still walking around and mingling with the tables. His show was very entertaining. I would def recommend Chris. He did require any prompting.

Chris arrived on time and was patient with a bunch of crazy 6 year old kids. All the kids had a great time!

I invited Chris to do a Magic performance at my daughter's 10th birthday party. Kids loved his magic tricks. It was a funny, dynamic and interactive performance. Every time kids thought they "caught" the magician being "sloppy" like hiding something up in his sleeve, covering something with his hand, etc. it was in fact a beginning of his next trick which was even more amazing than the one before that. Everyone said they enjoyed the Magic show the most.

Chris did a fabulous show for my son's birthday party. All the kids were mesmerized and the adults were just as stumped on all the magic that was performed. Highly recommend Chris Yuill. His stage presence was great and his interaction with the audience was enjoyable.

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,

"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.

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!
