Rockstar Magic Of Chris And Neal DREAM BIG Early into their work together, with the hand of God's blessing and some strong business tactics Chris was able to leave his day job in the corporate world to pursue magic full-time. Since that day Chris and Neal have worked tirelessly many long nights and early mornings to create the brand now in place today. Despite many obstacles, hurdles and some large roadblocks God has continued to lead Chris and Neal in their development of Rockstar Magic. In the early days Chris and Neal performed primarily for children's birthday parties -- which remains a favorite to this day. As time has passed, new adventures have been sprouted where Chris and Neal have used their talents to perform in schools, libraries and churches. For Booking: 888 - 422 - 3767 Summer 2012 was a pivotal season for Chris and Neal as this was their first year to tour the state of North Carolina performing in public libraries with their brand new Dream Big magic show. The focus of this presentation was encouraging children to believe in their dreams and more importantly, to believe in themselves. Since 2012 Chris and Neal have traveled each summer performing in more and more locations in a wider territory each year. Expanding their geographical footprint to cover new regions such as South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland and more. Chris and Neal's summer season runs around 10 weeks and ranges between 70 and 90 performances. Back in 2013 Chris and Neal began presenting the gospel through the use of illusions in churches for VBS and other events. The magic tricks were used as highly visual tools for communicating the life saving message of hope in Jesus Christ. Since then Chris and Neal have presented the gospel across several states and in many churches. In 2014 Chris and Neal began presenting anti-bullying programming in elementary schools across Jacksonville, Wilmington, Zebulon and more. These programs encourage children to stand up for what is right, to be a buddy not a bully.

Sure-Fire Entertainment Guaranteed To Leave Your Guests Exploding With Laughter & Amazement! "We all loved your performance! Many parents said it was awesome and thanked Jamestown Public Library for hosting your magic show. We were all very glad the fire marshal didn't show up for an inspection that day; our auditorium was overflowing with children and parents. Thanks for such a great start to our summer reading program, as well as the life lessons." Carole Reed (Jamestown Public Library) "Chris and Neal were open, honest, very easy to work with, and well organized. They have a heart for entertaining the audience and live for the smiles, and I would have no hesitation working with them again for any size event." - Travis LeFever (Director of Client Services at PC Construction) "Chris and Neal have performed both their on-stage and walk-about magic shows for our unit for the past three years and we want them back! Their shows are amazing and, for lack of a better word, magical! I have personally seen a child's eyes open in wonder, an adult's incredulous look, and heard the astonished "How did you do that?!" many, many times. Even I have watched them perform a trick that has made me wonder how on earth can they do this! In my tenure as a Family Readiness Officer aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, I have personally seen Chris and Neal create memorable moments and hundreds of smiles on hundreds of military families attending our events. They are affordable. They are punctual and committed. And, most of all, they are THE BEST at what they do!" - José L. Padilla, Jr. (North Carolina) Over a decade of experience in producing dynamic experiences for top rate clients across the coast and Chris and Neal have soared to new heights. Rockstar Magic has become a go-to brand in the entertainment industry. North Carolina schools, libraries, churches and families regularly turn to Chris and Neal for creating wonderful memories sure to dazzle children and adults alike.

Not only did they require NO help with set-up and tear-down but they made party planning SO easy for a busy mother. The children's attention was held the entire show. The interactive nature of Neal and Chris really captivated the children...and the adults! It was definitely a party for all ages. Everything was extremely appropriate and they offered an encouraging message throughout the show that any parent would appreciate. Great guys, great show, great price...GREAT JOB!!!" - Sarah Ames - New Bern, NC "Rockstar Magic with Chris and Neal had kids and parents alike staring in wonder as they opened the summer reading program at the Jamestown Public Library with their amazing feats of magic and illusion. From a rabbit disappearing from one container and appearing in another to the levitation of a girl from the audience, the show was fast paced and exciting. Of course, Chris and Neal were quick to tell the audience that they could make their own kind of magic with books that could both entertain and inform. The two encouraged all the kids to check out a book before leaving the library and to read throughout the summer." Norma Dennis - Jamestown News (Jamestown Public Library) Questions? Call Now: 888-422-3767 "Chris and Neal recently performed at our daughter's 5th birthday party and I cannot say enough about this duo! They were a pleasure to deal with from the first phone conversation up until the final moments of the party. They were polite, on time, and put on a terrific hour long show! Kids and adults at the party are still talking about it weeks later. These two are true professionals and their love for what they do shines through. We can't thank them enough for the memories they helped create for our daughter. Don't hesitate to book them for your next event!" Julie Roeser - Raleigh, NC "I highly recommend Chris & Neal of the Rockstar Magic Show for any event you may be having. They did an excellent job with their show, but what was most impressive was the way they clearly shared the Gospel in a way to connect with kids and adults. They are great to work with from the first phone call planning the event until the very end when they are done. They have a great passion and love for Jesus that is contagious to all. We had 11 kids come to the altar during Chris and Neal's service to invite Christ into their life. We are grateful for Chris and Neal's ministry and we plan to have them back in the near future." Jeff Dail - Compassion Ministries Pastor - Mount Olive Pentecostal Holiness Church Witness the impossible just inches away as Chris and Neal make objects appear, disappear, reappear, multiply, change colors and even fly through the air right before your very eyes. This unique entertainment option is a great fit for corporate dinners, trade shows (imagine the crowds!), neighborhood cook-outs, back-to-school functions, ice-cream socials and more.

They were a huge asset to our events during Vacation Bible School and our Imitate Youth banquet. They have an amazing talent. Their performance was the highlight of our event. It has been a pleasure to have them work with us at New Hope Friends Meeting. I highly recommend Carolina's Top Magicians. We are already planning our next event using Chris and Neal!"

- Chris and Neal - - The Journey - Chris and Neal are the two illusionists who make up this dynamic duo. Chris Bays, native to the Jacksonville, North Carolina region has been fascinated with magic since middle school. As a teenager, his family would go on vacation to Gatlinburg, Tennessee each year. It was in Gatlinburg that Chris visited his very first magic shop and absolutely fell in love with magic. Combining Chris' passion for showmanship and theater along with his new found ambition in magic was a sure-fire hit. Neal Chamberlain's journey with magic began at an earlier age. Growing up in the 1990's, Neal's mom and dad would let him browse through an annual Lillian Vernon catalog and circle things Neal thought were cool. Well, Neal circled, highlighted and put stars all around a magic kit that caught his eye. That year his Granny and Grampy gifted Neal that magic set for Christmas. These illusions helped Neal make new friends, develop interpersonal communication skills and more. Years later and Neal's passion for magic has only grown.

Carole Reed (Jamestown Public Library) "Rockstar Magic with Chris and Neal had kids and parents alike staring in wonder as they opened the summer reading program at the Jamestown Public Library with their amazing feats of magic and illusion. From a rabbit disappearing from one container and appearing in another to the levitation of a girl from the audience, the show was fast paced and exciting. Of course, Chris and Neal were quick to tell the audience that they could make their own kind of magic with books that could both entertain and inform. The two encouraged all the kids to check out a book before leaving the library and to read throughout the summer."
