| Do you believe in magic . . . ? Our magicians will make you believe! Why are movies like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter so popular? Because people love magic. They love to BELIEVE that it COULD be real. They love to be whisked away to far away places where dreams come true. Our magicians will bring that feeling to you and your guests! They take an ordinary event and make it extraordinary. Imagine the look on a child's face as they get to wave a magic wand and believe that they made magic happen! Funny Business helps your dreams come true!
Our magicians can offer a range of programs, from small parties to large stage events for an audience of hundreds. Walk around, table magic, trade show work, and unique magic presentations with puppets are available. Western theme outfits, wizard style shows, and evening wear costuming is available. Funny Business magicians average 19 years experience in a variety of venues, specializing in comedy magic.

Kids will be enchanted by Brett's magical show! |
When he isn't creating memories with puppets, Brett offers his magic character who also delights and entertains! After spending seven years teaching elementary school and over twenty years in the entertainment industry, Brett is the perfect family entertainer. He will provide a forty-five minute, visual, fast paced magic show. If this show is used for a birthday party, the birthday child will get credit for doing many of the magic tricks. This makes the birthday child the star of the show. After the show, Brett will teach a magic class. Everyone will bring home a new skill they can show their friends!
"My son loved the whole thing and was so excited. The other kids also really enjoyed it. He was great at getting my son and other kids involved while making my son feel special . . . We hope to use you again next year!" - Lynn & Michael Clark (read more reviews here!)

This is not a magician and his assistant. This is a duo magician team! Kenny and Debbie are a class act. Their Vegas style illusion show is perfect for a stage venue. Kenny and Debbie will amaze you with their high quality illusions. Just ask the City of Carrollton who had their stage show featured in the 2002 4th of July Celebration! Or ask The Beaumont Ranch who featured them for their annual Easter Celebration! Kenny can also perform as a wonderful strolling magician or a master of ceremonies!

Chuck - The Comedy Master Magician
|
|
| Chuck delights with Western style wizardry, wit, and wonder! |
Like many of us, Chuck started life when he was pushed out of the pool, and like magic, started breathing, and probably even telling jokes. The record is unclear about Chuck as a young child. We can imagine that he was fascinated by the face which appeared when he finished the food in his bowl, or drank milk from a cup. After that, Chuck likely helped cookies disappear. At some point, Chuck realized he could do more than make cookies disappear - he could study magic, and make lots of things disappear. Even better, he could make things appear - such as smiles, laughter, and a good time no matter where he goes.
Chuck has been actively entertaining with magic since 1970. His beginnings were with restaurant magic at the Holiday Inns at Waikiki Beach and the Honolulu International Airport with weekly engagements over a period of two years. (We still don't know why he left - probably because he got tired of living with the heavenly weather of Hawaii!) This was followed by another year at the Holiday Inn in Minot, North Dakota. (If Hawaii is heaven, North Dakota is . . .?) He settled in Dallas in 1976 and has been actively entertaining with magic as Comedy Magician Chuck ever since.
He does a variety of magic; sophisticated, comedy, trade show, magic with a message, hospitality rooms, close-up, stage, and club (all "G" rated). He does STRONG magic, close-up, and very visual, and he says he works for the SMILE.
Just look at some of the engagements and trade shows to his credit:

All of the children and parents LOVED Debbie's show. Debbie did such an awesome job. The parents were just as excited as the kids. They thought her routine was so original. I would recommend her again because Debbie was entertaining and charming.
- Randi Eiland

 |
With her trained dove, friendly rabbit,
and 1,000 watt smile, Debbie makes
a lasting memory for your party! |
Be sure you are in shape before the show starts, because Debbie's program is so energetic, you'll feel like you ran a mini-marathon! There are few people who can match Debbie's high energy performing style. She has an endless smile for all the guests, music, and a show that sizzles from start to finish! You may wonder how she packs so much into one program, and your children will ask 'When can we have her back?'
Debbie has hundreds of shows worth of experience with all manner of children and audiences. She has worked crowds large and small, inside and outside, shining bright.
This program is 30 minutes long with two live animals - one of the only shows in the area offering two animals. The show includes a magic book with blank pages which later show pictures which the children help color with their wiggling fingers. Next, impish scarves which disappear and appear somewhere else. At the party, an egg hatches into a bird, and a stuffed bunny vanishes over and over. On his final appearance, he magically becomes real! The show is good for 3 year olds and up, with elements adults enjoy, too!

| The Magic Of Christopher |
|
"Dude, that rocks!"
Do you want a magician for your event who will share effects that bring out such honest responses? Do you want to have magic at your event that gets under the skin of your guests, so that they call weeks later to ask "hey, how did Christopher do - ?" This is magic as it should be performed - with flair, zest, dazzling the participants with mystery and skill acquired from years of steady practice. When you want this kind of magic for your event, we have the magician for you! His name is Christopher, a multi-talented magician who reminds us of a young Lance Burton. (Book him while you still can - he is going places!) This guy has charisma AND talent! We have never witnessed a more polished magic performer in our own area. From close-up magic, to sleight of hand, to big stage illusions,
 |
| That's a real strait jacket. Look now, before Christopher is gone! |
Christopher is a seasoned professional. Even magicians marvel at his abilities – and they know how it is done! He utilizes a ton of audience participation, music, lots of humor, and visually stunning magic. Christopher can also customize a show to fit your specific needs. You supply the information and he will use it to construct jokes and magic just for you!
If you want to WOW your audience, if you are having that special company party, if you want your guests to walk away with their jaws open saying “How did he do that?” then THIS is the magician you should hire!
He is not inexpensive, yet he is worth more than his fee. If you have a modest budget, we can recommend other magicians for your event. But if you have the budget to hire someone that will be talked about for weeks, months, even years later, then bring in Christopher. His charisma and charm will echo in the minds of your guests for months to come, reminding them of the wonderful time they had at your event. That is the best magic of all!
Send us a party price request for Christopher, and let the magic begin! |

Hal is a multitalented performer. He is best known for his cartoon style drawings, or caricatures as he calls them. But, he is also a very accomplished magician as well! His forte is close-up magic and is most comfortable at children's birthday parties or corporate adult gatherings where he can stroll. His wardrobe can be either a glitzy magician or a western "dude" with either gambler attire or full range chaps and spurs. His sleight of hand with every day objects is pretty cool. For children's birthdays he can draw a caricature of the birthday child then perform a 45 minute magic show. He can also teach kids simple magic tricks as part of his show. Awards: Funny Business Entertainer of the Year in 2003.
