November to December
Company Holiday Parties
The busiest season on the Island. Strolling magic during cocktails, then an optional short set once dinner is served, so the party has a moment everyone shares. December weekends book months ahead.

The Long Island Event Calendar
When companies on the Island book entertainment, and what works for each.
January to March
Kickoffs & Sales Meetings
New year meetings in hotel ballrooms and corporate parks. A mentalism set that turns your theme for the year into something people remember, timed to fit between the agenda and dinner.
May to September
Golf Outings & Summer Client Events
Clubhouse receptions after the round, waterfront dinners and East End client gatherings. Strolling close-up magic suits these best because guests are moving, mixing and outdoors.
Spring & Fall
Galas, Fundraisers & Awards Nights
Chris has supported more than 100 charities, so he knows how to keep a fundraising room engaged without competing with the program. Strolling before dinner, a feature set after.
