Overview
"It's FUN to be Fooled" Chazam is a comedy magician that specializes in FUN, doing a parlor style show using props easily seen from the back of a theater or large room. Chazam has been entertaining in the Kansas City area for over 46 years, at children's birthday parties, Blue and Gold banquets, children's churches, company parties, picnics, etc. He keeps the children and adults laughing and mystified with family friendly effects. Audience members are invited to participate, providing for those photograhic moments throughout the show. Balloon animals are also available for a small additional charge.
Due to faith practices, Chazam is unavailable on Saturdays until early evening.

Chazam did a great, kid friendly show for our event! He came early and set up so he was ready to perform as soon as the children arrived. Children of all ages loved the show! He was a pleasure to work with, responsive, and accommodating. I would definitely consider working with Chazam again. I highly recommend using him!

Children's Party Magician
We hired Chazam as our featured entertainment for our annual Christmas Diner Party. Chazam communicated well before the event and arrived early for set up. We had 50 guests in attendance. Dessert ran a little late and Chazam was very accommodating. Chazam opened his act with a couple of classic tricks that were warmly received by the crowd. As he did those tricks he was also learning the crowd. He then selected two people from our group for an audience participation card trick. He was very personable and put everyone at ease. By the end of the trick he had the whole room laughing, cheering and clapping. He enlisted a sassy 92 year old woman for the Chinese linking ring tricks. Others braved the hand Guillotine and trusted Chazam that they would come away with both hands. Everyone enjoyed the show!!!

We hired Chazam for our Cub Scout Blue & Gold Banquet, and could not have been more pleased. He was very professional, timely, reasonably priced, and stayed in touch with us the week before and day of our event. Both parents and children in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and we would hire Chazam again in a heartbeat!

Influences & Inspiration
My mentor in magic was H. Claude Enslow, who performed in the KC area for many decades. Claude performed in vaudeville, on radio and television. He was the Santa Claus for the downtown Jones store for over 16 years. I learned most all of my timing and interaction with my audiences, with both children and adults, by accompaning Claude to his bookings, and observing his technique and style over the last years of his life.
I also attend magic club meetings and magic conventions to hone my skills and learn techniques from Master’s in the trade to improve my performance skills.
