We were told guests are expected to be quiet during the sets, yet another group was talking loudly and nothing was addressed, which felt a bit uneven.

Our second visit wasn't as great as our first. I'd like this place to succeed because it's…read moredifferent and fun but I think the price point is prob too high given the inconsistency of the experience. The first time we came it was on time and we loved the Dragon Tower escape room: it was the perfect mix of puzzle and action. This time we showed up 10 minutes early and they said they were running 5-10 minutes behind because of "cleaning issues". Well it turned into 20 minutes late so thankfully we already canceled our dinner reservations. I think it would've been fine if it wasn't $250 for a family of five for 38 minutes and the ninja trials escape room was not as exciting or interesting as dragon tower. Also one of the equipment pieces we were given was faulty so that made it less fun for one of us.

Pelagos VR is a fantastic addition to the area for unique entertainment, and there are so many…read moreoptions within it! Just as a quick rundown, there are three main types of VR here: the front area where you are strapped into a VR system and can run in place, a virtual escape room, and a VR action arena (large room with VR cameras on the walls and you can physically run around). I haven't tried the escape room and I liked the strap-in ones, though it's the VR arena that really elevates this place. So far I have done Patient Zero and several rounds of the Urban Assault in the arena, and it's an amazing experience. Between the excellent physical tracking, the true-recoil VR guns, and the actual movement in the real world mapping to the VR world, it is insanely immersive and easy to adapt to. It is quite exciting too: I was fortunate enough to participate in their latest tournament and it was chaotic fun from start to finish. The tournaments are a special treat because for now the entry fee is only $20 while the regular experiences run a fair bit more, so it's an insanely good deal for the amount of fun you're having. On top of the excellent experiences, I would be remiss if I didn't highlight their incredible staff. This is mostly a family-run place and it shows with how kind and personable everyone here is, with positive attitudes, a true love for what they do, and excellent mastery of VR tech and training new players. I have met the owner twice and he goes out of his way to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated for their visits. The most underrated part here is actually nothing to do with VR but actually their bar offerings: the happy hour here is every day of the week (including weekends) and you can get $4 beers (including a few local drafts) and very reasonably priced appetizers. If I were in the area and just wanted a quick beer with a friend before doing something else, I would absolutely come here for it at those fantastic prices. Since Pelagos VR is attached to the mall, there is plenty of lot parking very close by, so no issues there. Really the only drawback of this place is the price, particularly if you come by yourself or one other person as their price structure rewards larger groups. I would absolutely come here with a friend group because of that though a date night here would add up fast. I look forward to coming here again with friends, especially for the tournaments. This is one heck of an outing to look forward to! Overall: 5.0 stars ---- Pros: - Amazing and unique VR experiences, truly memorable in every way. - Multiple options, including stationary running, open arena, or escape room. - Fantastic staff who are kind, knowledgeable, and clearly happy to be there. - Excellent happy hour food deals, worth trying even without the VR. - Easy parking and access since attached to the mall. - Pricing for large groups and the tournaments are great... Cons: - ...though the cost for a small group (especially for only one or two people) is a bit prohibitive unless you have deep pockets. Their pricing is entirely reasonable given what you get for it, though this is really the only thing that keeps me from going every week. Maybe one day they'll have a membership or a punchcard pass option!

We have nothing but great things to say about our experience using Chris for our daughters 7th birthday. Even though we booked last minute, he was fast to respond and extremely accommodating. Chris called to confirm all the details the morning before the party and assured us it would be a great show. He showed up early and had everything set up well ahead of time for when we wanted him to start so he could make sure to meet the guest of honor and talk to the kids. I had my concerns of how anyone would be able to keep the attention of 20 kids between 4-7 year olds for a whole hour. Well, I have rarely seen anyone so good with a large group of kids. He had them all sit down criss-cross applesauce on the floor and their eyes glued for the whole show. He was not only funny, but very engaging for all the kids. He made it a point to know all the kids by name and he would give all of them a chance to participate in the show in some way or another. He had the birthday girl come up and do a special number as well as some of the kids and even some adults. His magic tricks were mind-blowing and his beatboxing skills were amazing too. After the show he made the kids balloon hats and swords while they had cake and hung out and did some small group tricks. All in all, it was the best entertainment we could have asked for. Chris was very professional, timely, funny, extremely good with kids (and adults) and is an incredible showman. We highly recommend him. And the feedback from the kids and parents that came to the party was that he is now requested to all their birthday parties as well. His schedule books fast, so we feel lucky to have booked him when we did. read more

Chris was amazing! So happy we hired him and hoping to work with him again in the future! He performed his magic show at my daughters 4th birthday party and I was so amazed he could keep 20 something 4 year olds engaged for 45 min! When I dropped my daughter off at school 2 days later I immediately had several of her classmates come up to me and start talking about all the tricks they remembered. I was also really impressed that Chris mingled with kids and parents before show and that he knew almost everyone's name by showtime which made it feel much more personal. My daughter loved her 4th birthday and Chris really helped with making it feel extra special. Thank you Chris! read more

I am a member of our church Senior Ministry and I was deeply thrilled to have been introduced to a performance by Christian Michael Magic. Our Senior Ministry has been trying to pair up with our Youth Miinistry for over four years and it has happened. The seniors and youth are constantly talking about the magic show that was held at our church. I would recommend Christian Michael Magic to all who are looking for a well rounded magic show suited for all age groups. Christian Michael has such a personable appeal and everyone felt as though they were a part of each magic act . Can't wait to book Chirstian Michael Magic again for another performance. read more

Last week I had the opportunity, as Youth Ministry Director, to see Christian Michael Magic in person. These were children and youth who were beginning their Spring Break and Christian did an excellent job displaying his magic and keeping all age groups interested. His humor was so appreciated by the adults that were in the room. Each magic display was so unique and the finale was certainly the show stopper. I have been getting messages from parents over spring break telling me how the children have not stopped talking about Christian Michael Magic. This is the magic you want to see! read more

Chris did a fantastic job. We booked Chris for our wedding to walk around and entertain our guests during the cocktail hour. I (as the groom) unfortunately did not get to meet Chris in-person myself because I was tied up with pictures during the cocktail hour, but our guests raved about him to us afterward. His tricks were apparently incredible, and he was equally personable. I also had a very positive experience with him regarding logistics leading up to the wedding, both for his professionalism and value. I would hire Chris again without reservation and highly recommend him to others. read more

Chris was professional and went above and beyond with our first phone conversation. He offered suggestions for the workshop and show as well as giving us ideas for marketing. He conducted 2 workshops for ages 7 to 15 . He kept their attention and made them laugh. I believe he inspired a couple to be magicians. They are already asking their parents for the traditional magic costume. I can still hear all the laughter from the family magic show. Chris engaged the audience and kept them rolling with laughter. This was an experience that will be long remembered. read more

If you are reading these reviews, you have probably already heard all the good about Chris, how amazing and professional he is, and how he pays attention to everyone attending the show (zoom and in person). The thing I want to highlight most in this review is how genuine Chris is. He is one of the most kind and passionate people I have ever met. It was truly an honor welcoming him into our home and celebrating with my family. We consider him and friend and look forward to seeing him again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! read more

Chris was wonderful! I book events for a group of professionals that are very difficult to impress, and not only did they ask me to bring him back again, but they also inquired with him directly to book him for their own events! He totally knocked it out of the park and played to the room. He understood the needs of the guests and was able to appropriately interact within the space without being intrusive. It was an elevated magic experience that made it fun and left guests guessing. I can't wait to work with him again! read more

I 100% recommend him for any event you may have as I know he will definitely wow the crowd. The only regret I have at our event was our own crowd was talking a lot while he was performing which took away from his show. That's their loss! I'd pay again to see him perform. I'm so glad we booked him before he becomes too popular be a "bookable" magician. read more

Since we didn't know him personally at first, we were a bit nervous at the start. But oh man, did those nerves go away after we hung out with Derek during our engagement session. He traveled up with our photographer from Richmond to Alexandria, VA (not a quick or easy trip) for our engagement session in April to film part of our shoot (so kind of him!). We had coffee first, went over some wedding details, then went exploring for our engagement photos. We knew then we made the best choice for our wedding videographer. After hanging out for half the day, we were able to get to know Derek on a personal basis, and he wasn't just someone we worked with, but a friend.

When our wedding day finally came, it was like seeing a good friend you hadn't seen in months, full of big hugs, and we knew he was going to do great work. It was a VERY cold and blustery day but he toughed it out like a champ. It meant so much knowing an expert was there capturing our very special moments that we could watch for years to come. We absolutely loved how humble, encouraging and kind he is, which is evident by how much he encourages and promotes those he works with. We absolutely love Derek and cannot recommend him enough!!!! We are so thankful that God pointed us in his direction, and that he recommended our wedding photographer to us (equally amazing!). We look forward to staying in touch for the years to come. Thank you Derek for all that you've done and are doing for Dave and me!!!!!! We are so thankful for you!!!
