About
We are your professional icebreakers. I do more than deliver world-class close-up magic memories to your guests. Every wedding involves two families becoming one. Every event has guests who've have never met. There will be many people meeting for the first time. Awkward silences are far too common at the reception tables and social functions. Audience management on knowing when to engage and disengage a conversation at any event is crucial. We also know whimsy and childlike wonder is one thing we all have in common. My job is to bring all these skill sets together and use it. In the end, this will give your guests a shared magic experience to converse about for years to come. I will move and flow with your ceremonies and guests seamlessly. In 25 years of performing, I've managed to learn how to never ask anyone, "Would you like to see some magic or a trick?" There's a way to have them ask me once they're ready. They won't even realize it. You don't want guests feeling obligated or cornered. My pride is making sure everyone is smiling and laughing. At the end of the night, everyone will leave with a sense of wonder and amazement. This is my craft I present to you. Welcome to White Raven Magic, performed by, Chris Walde. Member of London's Magic Circle. The most prestigious magic society on Earth.

Chris was such a magical addition to our birthday party. He did some mind blowing tricks that left our whole group talking about them the rest of the night. He was funny and personable and truly felt like part of the party. We loved having Chris and would absolutely have him back for more magic.

I hired Chris as a surprise magician for my best friend's bachelorette party, and he was AMAZING!!! We were a small group of 4 women (in late 20s/early 30s) and he traveled to us in South Haven, MI.

Regarding the logistics: I had never hired a
magician before and had no idea what to expect, but Chris was super helpful, responsive, and detailed when I was inquiring about possibly booking him. Once he was booked, he asked good follow up questions to make sure the show was tailored for our audience, and he provided many detailed updates up until he arrived. He was very professional and kind the whole time.

Regarding the the magic itself: we were truly blown away!!! We assumed he would be good based on other reviews, but he absolutely exceeded our expectations! He was SO talented - the tricks were so creative, he was so funny and engaging, and our minds were blown constantly - truly MAGIC! I have been raving to all my friends about how awesome Chris was, and I hope to have another opportunity to hire him in the future. You can tell he truly loves what he does!

Would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a
magician for up-close magic!!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Chris Walde for a small, family event, and I can confidently say his performance was the highlight of the day! From the moment he arrived, his warm personality and professional demeanor set the tone for an unforgettable experience.

His close-up magic was absolutely mind-blowing. The card tricks left the guests speechless and smiling. What really stood out was his ability to engage everyone, even the non-believers, making each person feel like part of the show. The tricks were not only impressive but also delivered with charm, humor, and impeccable timing.

If you're looking for entertainment that’s interactive, astonishing, and full of wonder, I highly recommend Chris. He truly brought the magic to life right before our eyes!

Absolutely loved having Chris Walde, the Mingling Magician, at our event! Not only is he a total professional and a breeze to work with, but he’s also just an all-around standup guy. His close-up magic had everyone smiling, laughing, and asking, “How did he do that?!” It was so fun watching him go from table to table, effortlessly connecting with people of all ages and bringing a special spark to the evening.

Chris has that rare mix of warmth, talent, and charisma that makes guests feel instantly comfortable and amazed. We’re genuinely glad to have crossed paths with him and are happy to add him to our trusted repertoire of great folks. If you’re looking to elevate your event with some unforgettable magic and good vibes, Chris is your guy! Highly recommend.
