Strolling magic
Close-up moments for cocktail hours, networking receptions and mixers.
CORPORATE EVENTS & HOLIDAY PARTIES
Polished enough for the room. Relaxed enough that people join in. Give colleagues and clients a shared moment that does not feel like another item on the agenda.
Plan your corporate event
“Our staff is still talking about it a week later! The energy, humor, and mind-boggling tricks are top notch!”Stacey Tarbox · Corporate event
“Hired Chris for a corporate event. He was a big hit. Looking forward to having him again.”Chas Levitt · Coldwell Banker
Close-up magic gets the conversation going. A comedy magic show brings the whole room together. Either way, your guests get involved and you have one less thing to organize.

I’m Chris Wheel. For 20 years, I’ve brought magic and comedy to events across New York and beyond. My style is conversational, playful, and built around the people in front of me.
As a certified school psychologist, I’m used to reading a room and helping people feel comfortable. At your event, that means natural interaction and guests who enjoy being part of the experience.
