FAMILY SHOWS, FESTIVALS & COMMUNITY EVENTS
Bring the kids.
You’ll want to stay too.
Big laughs, surprising magic, and plenty of chances to join in. Something for the kids. Something for you. Quite possibly a dad joke.
Plan your family show
“Chris Wheel is amazing to work with. His magic is wonderful and he knows how to draw a crowd.”Michele Maiorano · Utica Zoo
“He is energetic and always puts on a fantastic show! People of all ages really enjoy his humor and magic.”Sam Crisafulli · Events across Oswego County
Kids participate.
Grown-ups laugh too.
The best part is watching everyone react together. Kids get involved, grown-ups get caught off guard, and the whole family leaves with something to talk about.
A FEW PAST CLIENTS
MEET CHRIS WHEEL
I’m having as much fun as they are.
I’m Chris Wheel—a magician, certified school psychologist, and dad. I love a room where the kids are eager to join in and the grown-ups are laughing right alongside them.
My shows bring together comedy, surprising magic, and the occasional ridiculous idea. Everyone gets to enjoy it together.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Let’s work out
the details.
Can a family show take place outdoors?
Yes, with a suitable performance area and an indoor weather backup. We’ll agree on the setup in advance.
How much does a show cost?
Your quote depends on the show, duration, audience and location. Send your date, venue and guest count for a clear, all-inclusive price. Travel is factored in, so you can plan your budget.
When is payment due?
A 50% deposit secures your date. The balance can be paid before the performance or on the event date. Cash, check, Venmo, PayPal, Cash App and credit cards are accepted; a processing fee may apply to credit cards.
What do I need to provide?
I bring my own audio equipment, props and the setup for your show. If your venue has a suitable house sound system, I can use that too. Easy access to the performance area is appreciated—ideally a ramp or step-free entrance for loading in. We’ll confirm the details together.
Are you insured?
Yes. A certificate of liability insurance is available, including naming your venue as an additional insured when needed. Send the venue’s requirements when booking.
What if I have accessibility or participation questions?
Please share anything that would help your guests enjoy the show, including seating, sound or participation needs. We can talk through the venue and performance before you book.
