"Instant Fun for Everyone" 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 50+ 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 may also be invited to participate, if safety permits, providing for photographic moments during the show.
Chazam was the perfect surprise for our magic loving 5 year old. There were lots of laughs and smiles by both children and adults. He kept everyone engaged the whole time and let our birthday boy participate in the show! A very special day! We would recommend Chazam for any party!!

Hired Chazam from GigSalad not really sure of what to expect. Chazam showed up early and set up his props. Was very pleasant and professional. He delivered a set that the kids loved! My daughter was turning 7 and Chazam made sure he incorporated her into the set. My daughter thought he was really funny. All the kids and parents appeared to have a great time! I would time. We couldn't have asked for more!
We were extremely excited to have Chazem perform and we were very pleased..Chezam was on time and prepared.
Chazam was great at both doing magic and entertaining. The first graders and parents all had a fun time. There was a lot of loud laughter and inquisitive kids amazed by Chazams tricks. Highly recommend him for parties.

Chazam was great! He kept the audience engaged (even the adults). The birthday girl had a great time.
Completely satisfied with Chazam's show.. he came early , patiently waited until kids turned and engaged them for whole party with magic show and one balloon twists..
Kids and adults both loved the show. The kids also really enjoyed being able to go up on stage and interact/help do the tricks. I can't say enough about his professionalism. I would definitely recommend booking him for any kind of children's event/party.
Chazam did a wonderful job at our daughter's 10th birthday party. The kids were excited/challenged by the magic tricks. The audience participation was a nice touch. Everyone left with a custom balloon animal as well. We would definitely recommend him.

Chazam was a great choice for entertainment for our party. We had a number of families attend our holiday party: adults, children and teens. He read the audience well and his magic was engaging to all. I definitely recommend him.

Response from Magic by Chazam:
Thank you for the opportunity to entertain at your celebration.
Chazam was very professional and was a great addition for my daughters birthday party. All of the kids loved him. He called me a few days before the party to confirm and discussed his needs and my needs. He showed up early to set up, he worked with the kids. His show was great and he even made balloon animals for all the kids as well.
Overall he was such a hit and I would absolutely hire him again.

Every one loved the show. on the day of event it rained and everything got pushed back little later and Chazam was very patient with us and he made us feel that it was ok to run behind and he waited for us until we were ready to get teh show started.

Great bunch of Kids & adults. Audience response was great!
Chazam is very cordial and responded to all our questions very quickly. He was very flexible when we had to reschedule. We had a birthday party for our 6 year old. All the kids sat quietly and watched. Chazam was very entertaining and was able to get everyone giggling. He has a good mix of tricks. I would highly recommend.
We really enjoyed having Chazam at our family Christmas party. He was very entertaining and included family members . We would highly recommend him . Thanks

Chazam showed up early to set up everything ahead of time. Everyone enjoyed his performance. He stayed a little longer to make sure every kid had a balloon animal.

I truly appreciated the warm reception, and the opportunity to try the Indian cuisine after the show.
Chazam was a delightful, entertaining, magician. We recommend him highly.
Response from Magic by Chazam:
As Chazam, I really enjoyed sharing my program with your grandson and family.
Kids and adults at our event enjoyed the magic show very much. Kids loved getting an animal shaped balloon later as well.
He arrived early to set up. He provided a fun, entertaining show. He was very good with all ages and we all really enjoyed his show. I would hire him again.
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!
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!

Chazam interacts with his audience, doing some of the classics of magic, mixed with storytelling and humor, developing a rapport with those watching, encouraging them to assist in making the magic happen.
FUN family oriented entertainment for all ages, using NO foul language or blue material.
Chazam has been performing in magic since 1969.
He co-founded the Astra Magic Company in 1970, where he honed his talents and expertise, demonstrating tricks over the counter and performing at children's parties, conventions, trade shows, public shows with the IBM (International Brotherhood of Magicians) club, etc. He has served several years as an officer of the IBM Ring 129, Recipient of the Sorcerer's Circle, and a 25 year member of the Order of Merlin.
Chazam performs parlor magic (effects that are small enough to be done in a home, but large enough to be seen on stage or in an auditorium).
My act is flexible enough to present in a family room at a home residence, to performing on a full stage in a theater.
Venue needs to provide sufficient lighting to provide adequate visibility for larger audiences. Performer can provide sound for audiences up to 150 if venue is unable to.
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 other Master’s in the trade to improve my performance skills.
Platform or staging for a 8 x 10’ area is needed for maximum visibility for large groups
Set up can take up to 30 minutes
Wireless lapel microphone is preferred
