Your team will still be talking about it at the next all-hands.
From 20-person offices to Fortune 500 conferences, ChrisJones has headlined 200+ corporate events and private gatherings. No two shows are alike — because no two teams are.
A hypnotically interactive experience that brings your team together through laughs
Step into an extraordinary evening where comedy and hypnosis collide. ChrisJones doesn't just perform for your audience — he mesmerizes them, moves them, and creates shared moments that break down walls between departments, titles, and tables. The best team building doesn't feel like team building. It feels like the most unforgettable night your company has ever had together.
Here's the question Chris asks every client before a show: the next morning, when your team walks back into the office — how do you want them to feel? That feeling is what he builds the show around. Book ChrisJones for your next corporate or private event.
Perfect for
Team Building / In-Office Team Events / Annual Conferences / Award Dinners / Holiday Parties / Client Entertainment / Incentive Travel / Product Launches / Executive Retreats / Sales Kickoffs
Small team? Even better.
You don't need a ballroom to bring Chris in — some of his favorite shows happen with twenty coworkers circled around a conference table.
Two show formats, one goal to make your experience memorable:
Close-Up & In-Office
For teams of 10–50. Sleight of hand, mind reading, and hypnotic moments happening right in someone's hands. No stage, no AV, no setup — your office is the venue.
Stage Show
For 50 to 5,000. The full comedy hypnosis experience, where volunteers from your audience become the show. Built for conferences, galas, kickoffs, and holiday parties.
Not sure which fits?
Tell Chris about your team and your room, and he can work with you.
Sometimes the answer is both: close-up at cocktail hour, stage show after dinner.
“Met him in person. 100% class act, clean shows and absolutely funny. I can't say enough good things about him.”
Why ChrisJones for Your Event?
National Credibility. Zero Risk.
As seen on America's Got Talent, The Steve Harvey Show, Penn & Teller, and CNN Health. Fortune 500 companies book Chris because the credibility is already there — no explaining who he is, no convincing your stakeholders. Just a yes.
Your Team Becomes the Show
ChrisJones pulls volunteers from the audience — your colleagues, your clients, your executives. What happens next is completely unscripted. The result: shared memories that build real connection, not just another night people politely endured.
Turnkey. Low Lift
Chris handles his own full production. No lengthy rider, no technical headaches. Tell him your audience and your goal — he handles the rest. For in-office shows, "production" means Chris walking through your door. Most corporate clients book again within 18 months.
What makes this different from every other act you've considered?
Most corporate entertainment is passive — people sit, watch, and forget it by Monday. ChrisJones makes your audience the entertainment. Phones go down. Eyes go up. The person two seats over from your CEO is suddenly on stage doing something they can't explain. That's the moment your event becomes a story people actually tell.
Never booked a show like this? Here's the whole process.
Step 1
Reach out. Use the booking form or email. Tell Chris three things: roughly how many people, what kind of gathering, and any date you're circling. That's enough to start.
Step 2
A short call (or just email — your choice). Fifteen minutes, no pitch deck. Chris asks about your team, your goals, and the feeling you want in the room. He'll recommend a format and give you straight pricing on the spot.
Step 3
Chris tailors the show. Every performance is built around your company, your industry, and your audience. Inside jokes get made. Department rivalries get gently exploited. Nobody gets embarrassed — that's a hard rule.
Step 4
Show day. Chris arrives, sets up (for in-office shows, that takes about five minutes), and delivers the night. You handle nothing technical. The next morning, your team walks in still talking about it.

A Chicago native who learned hypnosis in grad school and went on to perform for Fortune 500 companies, headline TEDx Chicago, and appear on America's Got Talent. After 200+ corporate shows across 12 countries, one thing hasn't changed — no two audiences are the same, and no two shows are either.
The show ends at nine. The feeling shows up at work the next morning.
From 20-person offices to Fortune 500 conferences, Chris builds every performance around one question: how do you want your team to feel when they walk in the next day? If the answer is "like they can't wait to do that again next year" — you're in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who are some notable hypnotists for corporate events?
ChrisJones is a nationally recognized comedy hypnotist for corporate events — performing for companies ranging from intimate executive dinners to audiences of 2,000. His show is fully customizable for your brand, industry, and audience.
-
Chris brings something most corporate entertainment can't — genuine unpredictability. Your colleagues become the show. No scripts, no plants, no awkward audience participation that falls flat. Just real people doing things they can't explain, in front of people they work with every day. That's the kind of shared experience that actually builds team culture.
-
Most corporate and trade show performers at this level charge $3,500–$7,500 for a 45–60 minute show, and Chris's pricing falls in that market range. Two things move the number: format (in-office close-up shows are scoped differently than full stage productions) and timing — weekday shows between 10am and 4pm offer the best value, since evenings and weekends book out first. Nonprofits and small teams: ask. Chris would rather build a long relationship than a big invoice.
-
Reach out with your headcount, event type, and rough date. Chris follows up within 24 hours — then it's a short call or email exchange (your preference) where he recommends a format and gives you straight pricing. From there he tailors the show to your company and handles all production himself.
-
00%. The show is completely clean, professionally produced, and designed to work across industries and seniority levels — from new hires to C-suite. No one is embarrassed, nothing is inappropriate, and participation is always voluntary. Chris reads every room and adjusts accordingly.
-
Almost nothing. Chris travels with his own production and has no lengthy technical rider. For stage shows: a performance area and a sound system if the room is large. For in-office shows: a room and your team. Setup takes minutes, not hours.
-
Yes. Chris takes a brief before every corporate engagement — your audience makeup, event goals, any company references worth weaving in. The show stays fresh because it's built around your people, not recycled from the last event.
-
Sales kickoffs, annual conferences, award dinners, holiday parties, client entertainment nights, incentive travel programs, team building events, product launches, and executive retreats. If you're trying to make the room feel something, it's probably a fit.
-
Chris has headlined 200+ corporate events and private gatherings across 12 countries — from Fortune 500 conferences and sales kickoffs to client appreciation dinners and executive retreats. He's appeared on America's Got Talent, The Steve Harvey Show, Penn & Teller, and CNN Health, which means your stakeholders already know the name before they walk in the room.
-
A keynote talks at your audience. A comedian performs for them. ChrisJones makes them the show. The difference is that your team leaves with a shared experience — something that actually happened to someone they know — rather than a presentation they'll forget by Thursday.
-
Chris has performed for audiences across finance, healthcare, tech, education, government, and entertainment. The show is designed to work regardless of how skeptical, reserved, or senior your crowd is. The volunteers are always willing — and the results speak for themselves across 200+ corporate shows.
-
Fill out the inquiry form or email Chris directly. He personally responds to all corporate inquiries within 24 hours. Most bookings are confirmed within a week.
-
Whichever fits your team — but if you have flexibility, weekday shows between 10am and 4pm are the sweet spot: easier to book, best pricing, and the show lands while everyone's together anyway. Evenings and weekends are Chris's busiest windows and book out well in advance.
