Kristoff put on a fantastic show for our fundraising Magic themed Gala! Him and his assistant really brought our theme to life! They were a pleasure to work with, very punctual, responsive, professional and clearly highly experienced; he brought so much elegance and class to our event! He tailored the entire act to our specific fundraiser and group of people, from funny banter and jokes down to specific tricks personalized just for us! The amount of thought and care put into the whole act was incredibly touching! I cannot express how grateful we are to have had him at our event!
Details: Fundraiser • Stage show • 151 - 200 guests • 18 or older • Bar/Club

Thank you Lara. You and your team put together such a wonderful gala! It was so elegant, and you fit the magic theme to your event so well! We loved it . . . and took lots of picture of all your magic touches. Please remember my offer for a guest pass to the Magic Castle.

Kristoff was amazing! Very professional and easy to work with. We had a small get together of 30ish people. He arrived on time. His set up was easy. He was very detailed in his prep work and attentive to the guests. We requested strolling magic followed by a stage show and it was all very well received by my guests. Would hire again!

Thank you Jessica for making me part of a very fun event. Having an Elvis was also a nice touch. Let me know if you’d like a Magic Castle guest pass sometime.

Kristoff was amazing! I hired him for an employee appreciation event and the employees are still talking about it. He was on time, his show was hilarious, all the while keeping everyone wondering "How?!" We had to switch his second act to an indoor setting ang Kristoff was very flexible, did not complain once, and seemed to enjoy putting a smile on the employees faces. I would 10/10 recommend hiring him for your next event!
Details: 101 - 150 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Corporate / office event

Just had a College Softball Team Dinner for the University of South Carolina for about 60 people. Kristoff was just unbelievable!! The way he works the room and entertains everyone is just amazing. He did all kinds of magic, slight of hand tricks to keep everyone attentive, they could not wait to see what he would do next. He finished with a show for the team that had everyone talking way after he left. This will be a night for all to remember. We would highly recommend him for any gathering, party or get together, you will not be disappointed. Very professional in every way.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is dependent on audience size and performance duration, and whether you choose close up, parlor or stage magic.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We first chat on the phone to get an understanding of the type of event, audience size, age ranges, room size, and desired length of performance. If possible, I prefer to visit the location once before the show to anticipate the layout, and what will make the show the most interactive with the best visibility. Pricing is based on duration and audience size.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am currently a full magician member of the Academy of Magical Arts out of the Magic Castle in Hollywood CA. As to my original training, I worked my way through college and law school performing close up magic in restaurants and bars – decades ago. After my law practice was well established, I returned to doing magic (part time), and then became a recovering lawyer performing full time around the US and abroad!
