Christopher Bolter

Christopher Bolter is one of the nation’s hottest mind readers and magicians in the corporate and college market. Headlining at over 100 college campuses per year and working for some of the biggest companies in the world have made Chris a favorite from coast to coast.

Having a slightly unorthodox upbringing in the world of magic and performance, Chris’ unique style has definitely set him apart in the field. With clients like Comcast, AT&T, Coca Cola and Apple under his belt, he is guaranteed to display his witty humor, love of psychology and impressive audience command in ways you can’t even imagine. He is definitely Not your typical mentalist!

Born in Boston, Massachusetts Chris spent his summers with his family organizing and managing many state and local fairs and festivals. Specifically in Marshfield, MA where Chris was introduced to performers of all styles and varieties. Making his way around the midway, Chris learned the skills and trades from sideshow performers, stunt men and of course magicians & mind readers. All when he was between the ages of five and ten! His first magic trick he learned was how to read a woman’s mind! (he was 8 years old). A skill Chris still uses to this day.. (for entertainment purposes only of course..)

When Chris turned 10 he began performing for the public at local libraries, elementary schools, and Salvation Army centers. Making his living strictly from performing magic, Chris was able to pay for his college education by doing what he’s still doing today, performing! When Chris was thirteen years old he began “Agent 86 Magic Productions” his own, self-run entertainment company which he still owns today. Spun off of the popular sixties comedy show Chris created this agency which now offers performers of all types of events around the world!

Chris holds degrees in behavioral psychology and business. He speaks at several colleges and magic organizations around the country on a regular basis. He currently resides in Boston and travels the world performing his unique style of magic and mentalism!

The R.B.M.T. - ridiculously ballsy magazine test by Christopher Bolter

What Happens:

The mentalist displays four or five current popular magazines. They are handed out and freely examined. One is chosen by an audience member and he or she is asked to peruse the magazine. Next they are asked to decide on a page with lots of text, they do so and proceed to remove the page from the magazine. This is repeated with the other magazines until there are four or five random pages from each magazine.

The Golden Rules For Hiring Live Entertainment by Christopher Bolter

Tips and Tricks For The Entertainment Buyer and The Entertainer

Having worked as a professional magician and mind reader for the past sixteen years, I have seen hundreds if not thousands of venues all over the world. From Boston, where I am based, to Singapore, where I work for a few weeks once per year, and many cities and countries in between. A similarity that crosses all borders is the consistent lack of knowledge the client has when booking live entertainment. This is true for that of a variety type. (e.g magicians, jugglers, clowns, etc.).

Now this can be forgiven (to an extent),...

Effect 1: A Fortunate Ending

An audience member is asked to come up and participate in a demonstration of fortune and possibility.
