We hired Chris for a year end preschool party. His show was absolutely amazing. He interacted with the kids ..they loved it. His magic skills are amazing. He is also an amazing entertainer. Would highly recommend Chris.

Response from Magician Chris Gowen:
Thank you for the kind words Sharon!
Chris came to our volunteer appreciation event and was an instant hit!
Although our set-up was less than ideal for his performance, he worked around it effortlessly and professionally.
His performance was dynamic, engaging, and above all entertaining!
We had multiple attendees reach out after the event to express how much they enjoyed the performance.
Thanks Chris for an amazing evening!

He entertained everyone at party - from youngest to oldest - he is amazing. I would hire him for more shows - both for corporate gigs and family ones. Super entertainer.

Chris was a great entertainer, we enjoyed his show so much, including my 5 year old and his friends! He had the adults and kids both laughing and enjoying everything. Was a welcomed birthday party after none this year due to COVID-19. Thanks again Chris for coming through and putting on a great show! Would totally recommend!

Chris' shows are among the first in the world specifically designed for the Youtube Generation, but all audiences will have an absolute blast! Where as most magic shows have 6-15 moments of magic Chris' shows have, on average, 50-60 moments of world class sleight of hand magic and you'll still be left wanting more!
Chris has helped to make hundreds of events a huge success for some of the biggest names and companies in Alberta such as Epcore, ATB, Qualico and many others. Let him help you make your next event the one that everyone will be posting on social media and talking about for weeks and even months after the event has ended! Satisfaction %100 guaranteed!
ADULT CLOSE-UP MAGIC: Guests will see things such as a live fish appear into a glass of water, a borrowed Toonie completely bend and the middle pop out and given back to your guests to keep, things will appear under their watch, in their hands and in Pictures on your guests phone, these pictures are posted to their social media and the story is told and that doesn't scratch the surface!
ADULT PARLOUR AND STAGE: Borrowed finger rings will be linked together in a flash of fire, A watch is borrowed, destroyed, and appears restored in an amazing place, even a card trick that happens in the audiences hands as they follow along with him, and much more!
KIDS AND FAMILY: These shows are highly interactive. Many of the children will be invited up on to the stage and get to perform the magic themselves and are the true stars of these shows. This show is so amazing and funny that even the adults in the crowd will be roaring with laughter and picking their jaws up off of the floor along with the kids guaranteed!!
