February 13, 2023Everyone loved him
Christopher Starr performed at my daughters first birthday party. I don’t know if the children or the adults were more entertained. He was fantastic. He was great with communication prior to the event, he was friendly, punctual, funny. Would recommend him to friends and family

September 21, 2018You will be amazed!!!
From beginning to end, this was a show for all ages! We hired Christopher Starr for my son's 6th birthday, and we were not disappointed. You can expect personalized attention from the moment of booking, ongoing communication with Christopher, and feeling of ease allowing you to actually enjoy your function! The show was fantastic, with ongoing jokes and audience interaction. The magic tricks were really awesome, and had the crowd in awe! Every child who wanted to had an opportunity to participate in the show, and Christopher made my son feel like a star! My only regret is that I didn't book him for previous birthday parties! Truly an unforgettable afternoon, and the smile on my son's face will stay with me forever. Thank you, Christopher Starr for a perfect 6th birthday party!

I would highly recommend Christopher for a kid's birthday party. He is very professional, quick to respond and eager to ensure a fun time. From 5 years old to 70 years old, he had us all in laughter and amazement with his magic. 5 stars from the 14 of us! Thanks again, Christopher!

I'm SO pleased that everyone had a great time, celebrating Leo’s Birthday. Leo looked suitably impressed with himself when he transformed the Doves into my Bunny Presto.
You were a very gracious hostess. Hopefully we can work together at another Party some time in the future.
Thanks again, Mara!

What to expect
We produce and perform Family Magic Shows that everyone from 2 to 102 can enjoy!
Many client love the fact that we can perform such that the children are all laughing and participating, but the adults are having a great time too. We do not however perform for adult only functions. We leave that for the other acts that specialize in that.
Please inquire about our specific packages as what is included, and what you can expect varies widely based on the package you choose and the budget you are working with. From simple private parties for 10 people, to more elaborate platform shows for an audience of 300, we can produce a show that you will be proud of, so long as your budget is realistic for what you are asking for. After 30 years in business, clients come back to us again and again, and refer their family and friends to us because of the high standards of entertainment we provide, at a better rate than going through an agency.
About
As a performer I come fully equipped, and for larger shows I bring my back-drop and PA system. Birthday shows can be performed in a Living Room or Family Room, but preferably not outside as the birds might fly away or the rabbit can get over-heated. For summer parties why not have all the mess of the food outside but have the show inside.
Additional booking notes
All shows require an open area, without a table etc. as I come completely self-contained.
Small shows require 6' x 6'.
Larger Living Room Shows and Smaller Banquet Hall shows require 8' x 8', with a minimum 7.5' ceiling.
Larger Banquet Hall and Company Christmas Party Shows require 10' wide x 8' deep, with a 10' ceiling.
Performance areas should be well lit for the audience to see properly!
Please inquire about additional details.

Set list
Please inquire about the type of routines and illusions we'll perform for your event, based on the venue and the package you select from us.
Influences and inspiration
I grew up loving David Copperfield and then Siegfried & Roy, but of course my shows are not nearly as elaborate.
Setup requirements
Birthday Shows in a Living Room or Family Room need a minumum of 6 feet square for a smaller package, and up to 8 feet square for a larger package.
Outdoor Shows have their own set of requirments - please inquire.
For Banquet Hall Shows, I need to be centered at the Front, but be careful that you don't place the DJ right behind me, blocking him in with my Backdrop. Lighting the area makes for a better performance.
For larger venues where there is a DJ, I often plug my Wireless Mic System into their Amp. In that case I would need to have access to a standard XLR input on the DJs system.
We perform at tons of Christmas Parties, but be careful that I'm not asked to share a platform with a giant Holiday Tree and Santa's throne. If you're having a Magic Show I still need 8' x 8' just for myself, in addition to the rest of your decorations.
All Shows require that the Children AND Adults are watching politely. You may need to create another area where the Adults can talk if they are not interested in watching the show! Let's not spoil it for those that do want to warch, right?
