About Chris Bruce

For the past 25 years Chris Bruce has been delighting audiences across the Greater Toronto Area — Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton — with sleight-of-hand magic and mind reading at cocktail parties, receptions, and house parties.

At a cocktail reception he moves from group to group, performing for each for 5-10 minutes with the work happening inches from the guests. His stand-up show runs 30-60 minutes and is filled with laughs, audience participation, and of course amazing magic, playing to groups from 1-100 in a small theatre or room. View Magazine called him "obviously a talented magician....he is a man of skill", adding that "his banter with the audience feels natural and unrehearsed". A natural fit for house parties, engagement showers, small corporate events, and trade shows.
