Corporate Event Magicians in Chicago

The right magician turns a corporate event into the thing people talk about on Monday. Chicago Magic Company books full-time professional magicians and mentalists for client dinners, sales kickoffs, galas and company celebrations in Chicago and across the country. Every performer on our roster is hand-picked by Dennis Watkins, who has produced The Magic Parlour, Chicago's longest-running magic show, for 17 years.

What we can bring

Strolling close-up magic. A magician moves through your reception performing for small groups, inches from your guests. Ideal for cocktail hours and networking.

A featured show. A stage or after-dinner set of magic and mind reading, built around your audience and, when you want it, your company's message.

Both. Close-up during the reception, then a featured set after dinner.
