Introduction

Kristoff provides elegant and funny magic for adults. Turn your party into an event that guests will long remember. This is not your kids' magician. Think cocktails, cards and coins - and laughs. Lots of laughs. Corporate and private parties -- this is your performer.

Q&A

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!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

The same reason I became a lawyer -- I hated to be fooled. I started doing magic when I was six, and I was working in restaurants at age 12. I continued throughout college and law school but left the practice of law to perform full time as the “recovering lawyer.”

What types of customers have you worked with?

Restaurants, bars, galas, corporate parties and special events, MC work, and parlor shows in private homes for cocktail parties, wine dinners, etc.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Hire a magician who is ENTERTAINING, not just baffling.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Do you want a magician who strolls around and works the room while guests mingle, or do you want a stand-up/parlor show for the entire group at once, or both?
