Planning a company event in St. Louis and need entertainment that actually lands? I'm Christian Misner — Christian the Magician — and I help companies turn the usual party, gala, or conference reception into the part of the night people talk about on Monday. My Google profile says it plainly: 5.0 stars across 145+ reviews, from planners at more than 200 companies and organizations.

​

Two ways to put magic to work at your event​

Strolling magic for receptions and cocktail hours. I move through the room performing close-up magic in small groups — cards, coins, and borrowed objects, right in your guests' hands. It breaks the ice between departments, gives strangers something to laugh about together, and keeps energy up while the bar line forms.

​​​

The Grand Magic & Mentalism Show for the whole room. A 30–60 minute stage show with professional sound, built for awards banquets, holiday parties, sales kickoffs, and client-appreciation nights. It's interactive, clean, and funny — your team becomes part of the show, and nobody gets embarrassed. Most companies book the show on its own, or add 20 minutes of warm-up close-up magic beforehand so the room is already buzzing when I take the stage.

Why St. Louis companies book me

I've performed for Accenture, American Express, AT&T, IBM, Lockheed Martin, Marriott Hotels, the Ritz-Carlton, Chick-fil-A, AMC Theatres, Abbott, and the American Cancer Society, among many others. Event planners rebook because the show is genuinely funny, completely workplace-safe, and easy to run — I bring my own professional sound and coordinate with your venue and AV team in advance.

One thing no other St. Louis magician can say: I'm also a practicing attorney. That means contracts get read, details get handled, and I understand exactly what's at stake when your company's name is on the invitation. HR departments relax. So do I — well, a little.

Questions planners ask me

How much does it cost to hire a corporate magician in St. Louis? Every event is different, so I custom-quote each one based on your guest count, your venue, and how the magic fits your program — the stage show on its own, strolling magic during your reception, or the show with 20 minutes of warm-up close-up magic added beforehand. Call me and I'll give you one exact number with everything included — professional sound and St. Louis metro travel too. No mystery pricing, no surprise line items.

​

Is the show clean and appropriate for a work event? Completely. The comedy is squeaky-clean, the participation is volunteer-only, and the guarantee is simple: your guests will be amazed, and nobody will be embarrassed, singled out, or made the punchline.

 

How far ahead should we book? December and fall kickoff dates go two to six months out. That said, call anyway — my calendar shifts, and I'd rather tell you honestly than leave you guessing.

 

What do you need from us? Very little: a performance area, a power outlet, and a rough run-of-show. I supply professional sound and handle the rest.

​

Do you travel outside St. Louis? Yes — across the metro and the Metro East regularly, and further for the right event.
