Chris was a hit at our wedding! Highly recommended!

He performed for individual tables one by one, and the guests were excitedly looking over from other tables as he was performing since they were so excited for him to pass! I received lots of compliments on his performance. He was funny and very engaging.

Chris was very good at communication before the event, and was able to set up on his own. He was also flexible, as we ended up doing the cake-cutting in the middle of his booked time. A stress-free choice for great entertainment!

We had Chris in our home for our sons birthday party this past summer and we had 15 kids mostly boys, ages 7-9 and he was amazing with each and everyone of them. Very impressed! The adults in the room were amazing with his illusions as well! So much fun for all! Thanks again Chris for a great party!

Every time he picks me out of the crowd.

Hiring Chris as our magician for our wedding reception was an absolute game-changer! He mesmerized our guests with his incredible magic, leaving everyone in awe and wonder. But it wasn't just his magic that impressed us; it was his ability to connect with our guests on a personal level that truly made the evening unforgettable.

Chris has a natural talent for storytelling, and he seamlessly incorporated it into his performance, making it both touching and hilarious. He had everyone laughing and gasping with amazement throughout the night. Chris not only entertained but also brought everyone together, creating an atmosphere of pure joy and excitement.

We cannot thank Chris enough for making our special day even more magical and memorable. If you're looking for a magician who goes above and beyond, Chris is the one to hire. He's a true master of his craft and an exceptional entertainer. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him!

Terrific talent and showman. We were lucky enough to see Chris on a river cruise. He’s smart, very funny and a wonderful magician or as he says, an “amazement expert. ” Chris knows how to involve the audience in a kind and welcoming manner. He had almost an hour and a half of good material and lots of innovative and puzzling “tricks. ” We hope you get a chance to see and enjoy his show. Penn and Teller, I hope you’re paying attention as he deserves to be on your TV show!

We had an evening of superb comedy magic by Chris Pilsworth on May 21 this year on board Canadian Empress, a riverboat owned by St. Lawrence Cruise Lines. I can’t say enough about the interactive show he gave us. We’re still laughing & in awe of his illusions. Don’t miss the opportunity to see him as soon as you can! Five stars barely breaks the surface of the rating we give this talented performer.

We had Chris for a school Family Fun Night, all the children laughed and were super engaged the entire time. Parents were loving the jokes as much as the kids. Great communication before and after the event. Absolutely will have him back at another event!

Chris really was born to amaze! We hired him for our son’s 9th birthday party and he was a really big hit — both with the kids and the adults! He was funny and truly amazing. How does he do these magic tricks literally right in front of your face and still manage to deceive everyone!? Incredible! It is a birthday party our son and his friends will remember and talk about for a long time.

Chris was professional and the process from booking to set up was seamless! Thank you again!

Chris braved the coldest day of the winter last evening to perform for Manotick's Winter Carnival, Shiverfest. His show was very well received by all ages, and it was evident he clearly enjoys entertaining. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a magical performance.

Chris delivered a wonderful performance for both children and adults. All were utterly enthralled. It was so nice to have such a top notch performer at Matilda’s birthday party.

My daughter (4) just went to a birthday party and Chris was the entertainment. And entertaining he was! Not only was his act engaging and thrilling (some really awesome tricks), he was able to keep 16 kindergarteners involved in the show (which is no easy task). Great job Chris!

Chris did an “online” show for my team and it was pretty amazing. His show was more than just sitting and watching - he actually got us to participate! Funny, a great flow and some modern magic made my team event a major success! Thanks Magic Man!

We were part of a zoom event that was on while my son was home from school sick. My son and myself just spent the full hour laughing, smiling and just enjoying the magic. Sometimes things get lost over Zoom, but it was just as exciting to be picked for a trick on Zoom as in person.
05 June 2022 0:36
We just enjoyed an amazing ZOOM Magic show with Chris Pilsworth offered by Beginings Family Services.

Chris has been part of our family's magic for nearly 20 years now. He never fails to entertain and amaze!

Chris did a great job of adapting his magic act to video-conferencing. He was funny and engaging, and his act was very well received at our team's virtual holiday party.
28 January 2022 20:08
Chris does a great job entertaining virtually. It isn't hard to make something that is so interactive work when people aren't in the room with you, but Chris does it and makes it look easy. There was good rapport with the audience, and he found effective ways to get us involved through the screen. His escalator was really fun. Well worth it!
28 January 2022 19:23
We just had the privilege of seeing his performance through video conference, Chris is a lovely person who's a joy to spend time with. The fact that he's an accomplished magician who manages to do magic to a camera is, well.magic.
19 January 2022 9:19

Chris blew us away with his humour, ease with the kids, and of course the magic! We had him entertain thirteen 9-year-old kids, and even though he faced big sceptics, all of the girls were left amazed and wondering how the heck did he do that? Thank you Chris for being so entertaining, professional and the perfect addition to the birthday party!
13 November 2021 15:26
Our Probus Men's group were skeptical we would be amazed. Chris Pilsworth warmed his audience with his infectious humor and engaged us with his skillful performance. In conclusion we were entertained. It was great to feel child like wonder again.
15 October 2021 22:47
Amazing show, great guy, very talented, charismatic and friendly, and very accommodating! Definitely recommend for any event! Will definitely book for future events!
