Description
Chris Capehart is an accomplished master magician. He is respected throughout the world by his peers, applauded for his skills by the most famous of magicians and sought after for repeat performances by clients.
Chris Capehart has done it all. In thirty-five years he has performed on the big stage, lectured to magicians, become a famous, accomplished street performer, created routines and mastered the linking rings. He has been published and imitated throughout the world. His skill at close-up is no less than astonishing. His quick comeback verbal skills sharpened on the streets of New York City have made him an outstanding comedian. At the Abbott's Convention 2002 he was awarded the Senator Crandall Award for Comedy. At the CAM Convention he worked with Jeff McBride. After his performance Jeff McBride said "He is the only magician I've ever seen who can bring down the house with a stock trick." In Las Vegas at the SAM National Convention Chris Capehart again proved himself to be a master of magic by being the Master of Ceremony for the show. Both Mike Miller and Joan Caesar have labeled Chris Capehart a promoters dream.
Chris Capehart is a regular headliner at "Monday Night Magic" in New York City. He has performed in Atlantic City, Las Vegas, New York, Philadelphia, Hollywood, Chicago, Denver and numerous other cities. He will be again performing at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California in February 2006. He has also been asked to travel to England to perform at The Blackpool Magic Convention.
Chris Capehart has been dubbed "The Ring Master" and for good reasons. The three-ring routine is one of the cornerstones of magical illusions. Chris's three-ring routine, which he perfected in 1981, has been acclaimed by some of the world's most renowned magicians as "the best of the best." He mesmerizes magicians and audiences with a close-up ring routine more commonly performed at a distance. His routine is featured in Volume 13 of the highly acclaimed magic series "Stars of Magic" that is marketed to other magicians around the world. You'll find Chris's fantastic moves incorporated into other magicians ring routines such as Shoot Ogawa's Ninja Rings. Jamy Ian Swiss, Marc DeSousa, Simon Lovell , Denny Haney of Denny and Lee's, Bob Little and Hank Moorehouse have all said that Chris Capehart's Three Ring Routine is not to be missed. It is the closest thing to magic.
So, if you are looking for an entertaining magician who is offbeat, clever, funny and skillful all rolled into one, then Chris Capehart is a must see.

Feedback
- Thank you again for making our award ceremony great. Without you there it would have been quite dull. Your tricks were fantastic and everybody loved the rabbit. My favorite one was the rings. I would pay you to teach me that but I should be really talking about your performance. Your performance was "Entertaining, entertaining, entertaining!" I don't know what else to say, Chris. The show that you did was enough to shut up a few co-workers who objected to hiring this type of entertainment for our event. I need to tell you they were captivated within minutes after the show began and commented that you are a "must have" for next year.
Thank you again,

- I'll come right to the point about Chris Capehart, save yourself the time of looking around, hire him. I have never seen a magician of this skill and ability, even at the casinos in Atlantic City. Chris Capehart kept us spellbound with "how-did-he-do-that" card tricks, a trick with coins that put us on the floor laughing, escape magic and most impressive, moving solid steel rings through solid steel rings. In fact, he moved metal through metal 12 inches in front of my eyes, as I watched it go through. Beyond his magic, Chris Capehart is genuinely funny and quick witted. Between his outstanding magic and humor, he kept us glued to our seats. For a kids party, or adult event, you can not get a better entertainer than Chris Capehart -- John C, Wilmington, DE, 6/23/2006
- Okay, where should I start. I looked all over to bring something unique to our family reunion. A co-worker told me about Gigmasters and that's how I found Mr. Capehart. On such short notice I have found one incredible magician. He totally wowed them and gave my family something to talk about. They haven't stopped talking about the show and excellent performance he gave. Thank you Mr Capehart. I wish we could have afforded to pay you what you are really worth. When the other side of the family has their reunion in 2007 I will definitely make sure that they hire you.
Thanks again,
