Give your party a "magic touch"? With this charming table magician that's already guaranteed. Birthday, wedding, anniversary or children's party: with magician Chris Bordet you can organise an event you will never forget.

What's that, a table magician?
-----------------------------------------------------
A table magician (also called a close-up magician) is a magician who shows his tricks up close. (The name is a bit misleading, because a table isn't necessarily necessary for that) Chris Bordet regularly plays theatre shows, but for private occasions a table magic show is much more interesting, precisely because the magic takes place so close up. Some of the tricks even take place in the hands of your guests! A good close-up show is an unforgettable experience for your guests.

What does it take for a table magic show?
-----------------------------------------------------
The big advantage of a close-up performance: it doesn't really take anything at all. No sound system, no stage, no special light; not even a break from your party! A table magician can also work at virtually any location, indoors or outdoors

How long does a performance take?
-----------------------------------------------------
Of course, it's up to you to decide when you want to put Chris in. Usually table magic involves a time span of about three hours, but depending on the number of guests and your wishes, the performance can be shorter or longer. Do you want Chris to be present during the whole party? Do you want him to be in action between the hallways of a dinner? During the drink? When your guests come in? At any other time? You decide. (Oh, and Chris is, of course, always ready to advise you after about 750 table-top gigs.)

How's that going?
-----------------------------------------------------
Chris will be at your location half an hour before he starts juggling. Then he simply joins your guests and hooks up with small groups at a time to give them a 'private show' of about 5 to 10 minutes. With well-known magic attributes such as playing cards and rings, but sometimes also spontaneously with the objects that happen to be present at your party location

About magician Chris Bordet
-----------------------------------------------------
Magician Christophe (Chris) Bordet was born in Paris. At the age of eight he received a magic box as a gift and he started to take an interest in magic. Already at the age of ten he travelled through France as a child star, as a side-act of cabaret groups and bands.

Bordet grew up near Zurich. He played theatre shows, organized a magic festival and Magic Dinners and was a regular guest in TV shows. In addition, he spent a season with a circus, worked on cruise ships and showed his skills at festivals all over Europe.

In 2011 Chris Bordet moved to Amsterdam. In the Netherlands he was a magician at De Nationale Wetenschapsquiz (VPRO) and The Social Club (BNN)

Also international performances
-----------------------------------------------------
Are you expecting foreign guests? Chris Bordet performs not only in Dutch, but also in English, French and German. You can also book him for performances outside the Netherlands.

Small warning
-----------------------------------------------------
To become a magician, you don't have to do any training. In fact, there is no training to become a magician. This means that everyone in the Netherlands can, in principle, call themselves a magician. If you are thinking about booking a table magician for your party, don't just look at the price, but also check if you are dealing with a professional magician. After all, it's a bit of an embarrassment if you have a magician at your party who can't do anything at all. Check videos on YouTube or ask for advice from an experienced artists' agency.
