MEET CHRIS · IT STARTED WITH A BOOK
A gift from Grandma.
A lifelong interest.
When I was four, my grandma gave me The Klutz Book of Magic. It was my first magic book, and it sparked the interest that became what I do today.
I know the power that books can have, and libraries are full of them! I bet if you look on your shelves (try section 793.8), you’ll find some awesome magic too.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Let’s work out
the details.
Can the show work in our library’s space?
Many library spaces work well. Send the room layout, expected attendance and audience ages. We’ll talk through seating, sightlines, sound and the space needed for the performance.
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.
