"Absolutely wonderful magician for a private residence all-ages show, running from 7-yos to 87-yos. Topher was easy to communicate with, amenable to some adjustments, and put on a show that provided a wonderful hour of entertainment that surprised and delighted my family. We're still chuckling about it days later. Would recommend to anybody!"
​"C. Topher Younggren performed for our residents at All Seasons Retirement Community, and it was a delight. His blend of sophistication humor, and warmth was perfect for our audience. What stood out was how personally engaging he was--he truly connected with the residents, creating laughter, surprise, and genuine moments of wonder. His close-up magic was especially impressive. Professional, easy to work with, and clearly experienced with retirement communities, he delivered an interactive, inclusive, and memorable show. Highly, highly recommended!!"

"We hired Topher for our son's Bar Mitzvah and he knew exactly how to make the party special. Topher is both a top-class entertainer and true professional, and has a performance that connects with all audiences.

"What an amazing entertainer. We just attended an absolutely magical night of magic that was one of the most fun nights we have had in forever. Thank you, Topher. We will always be your biggest fans!!!"
"Topher puts on an excellent show! The tricks are great and he's very funny. There's also plenty of audience participation. Everyone had a really good time."
"Topher is an incredible magician!
I've seen him two times, once at children’s party and once at an adult event. Both were fabulous and showed Christopher's ability to work with any age group, young or old. He remembers people's names, and many times he includes the audience in his magic tricks. His strong voice can be heard from anywhere, and his ability to handle children with a sense of humor and patience is the greatest magic of all.
He gets 5 stars from our family!
Highly recommended!"
