Comedy con games
for corporate events.
Finally, some corporate deception you can put on the entertainment budget.
Give me a deck of cards, a few dice, and the colleague who says, “I saw exactly what you did.” I’ll give your guests a reason to pull up a chair. I bring a close-up con game table to company parties, client receptions, and conference cocktail hours in Charlotte and beyond.
At the table
Care to guess where the card went?
Picture two colleagues watching the same card. One follows my hands. The other keeps an eye on my sleeves. By the time they compare notes, a third person has joined them with a theory of her own. That conversation is half the show.
Follow the cards.
Someone calls the card they’ve been watching. Everyone else gets to decide whether to back their colleague’s judgment. A unanimous vote has no effect whatsoever on the deck.
Take the bar bet.
I set a little challenge with an answer that looks obvious. Guests can take a guess, argue the other side, or enjoy the look on a friend’s face when I settle it. No money changes hands.
Watch the dice.
With the dice close enough to count the spots, the whole table has a good view. Somehow the people with the best view end up with the most questions.
For the event planner
Give the table
a place in the room.
I stay at one station. Guests come over when they’re curious and head back to their drinks when they like. Nobody has to surrender a conversation, a wallet, or the company president.
- For a reception or holiday party
- Set the table within sight of the gathering, clear of the bar line and speakers. Small groups rotate through while the rest of the room carries on.
- For a client or leadership dinner
- After plates are cleared, a seated group can follow the cards together. Tell me when the toasts and awards are scheduled; I’m happy to yield the floor to the person signing the check.
- Space, timing, and tone
- A table and three chairs will do, or a coffee table with seating in front and to the sides. I don’t use a sound system. A typical visit lasts one to two hours; we’ll agree on timing and humor that fit your group. You can book just the con games or mix in traditional close-up magic.
