Everyday in the movies you know someone will have a moment that makes him question the universe as he knows it.

 

 

You have to understand, people cannot read minds. People cannot transport matter. People cannot change the immutable laws of physics. It just can't happen.

 

Unless Chris Ivanovich is there.

 

Whether it's in an elegant drawing room or a packed-to-the-rafters bar, Ivanovich will make his audience question their senses. A deck of playing cards becomes a symphony of special effects. United States currency changes to suit his will. Penn Jillette, the louder half the comedy/magic duo Penn & Teller, says, "Chris Ivanovich is a commando magician. He does cool, funny, smart magic perfectly and he does it anywhere. Wherever he works, he's amazing; clubs, restaurants, even a dark neighborhood bar. Nothing can stop him."

 

Since 1981, Ivanovich has worked close-up, parlors and stages across the country for thousands of people with charm, grace and edge that makes people wonder, "what in the world is happening here?" He has studied under the world's greatest masters of sleight of hand, and uses their tutelage to devastating effect. In 1997 he won acceptance as a performing member of the Academy of Magical Arts, located in Hollywood's famous Magic Castle.

 

A denizen of the mysterious Florida Gulf Coast, Chris can be lured out to mystify private and corporate functions, and he can occasionally be spotted making someone, somewhere wonder:

 

"What in the world?”

 

Let it happen to you.

 

Wonder for yourself.
