A Magic Circle magician has passed the examination necessary to enter The Magic Circle. First a magician must sit an interview to demonstrate his or her skill on a basic level, and then the examination performance is booked for a future date. Christopher has earned membership as 'Associate of the Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star', which is a ring above basic Member status.
When you hire a Magic Circle magician you know s/he holds this endorsement from one of the most prestigious societies for magic in the world which can be of assurance to people interested in booking a magician. We also recommend viewing the magician's video to get a feel for their performance style which is very important when booking the right magician entertainment for your event - whether it's a corporate magician or for a private event.
