Kristoffer Olson performed his first paid show when he was nine years old. Currently at twenty-five, he still has no plans for retirement. His passion for performing magic supported him through high school and college without having to get a ‘real’ job.

It was during this time that Kristoffer made a name for himself in the world of magic, winning countless awards, including the International Brotherhood of Magicians’ Junior Stage Championship for his unique presentation of a classic magical effect, the Metamorphosis. Kristoffer's knowledge and experience have since been utilized by the Society of American Magicians as a judge for their national magic competition.

Determined to turn his love of performing into a business, Kristoffer attended the University of Minnesota, where he graduated with a B.A. in Theater Arts and a minor in Business Management. Kristoffer was a proud recipient of the Harry and Trudy Monti College Scholarship, which is specifically for promising young magicians seeking a college education in order to pursue a career in magic.

Kristoffer Olson is never happier than when he is on stage making his audience laugh. This has led him to study at Duddley Riggs’ Brave New Workshop, one of the top improv comedy training programs in the country. You may also find him on the field at a St. Paul Saints baseball game, where he acts as a sort of ‘human-mascot’ called The Nerd, entertaining the fans with his awkward dance moves, leading the crowd in ridiculous cheers, or hosting contests on the field between innings.

Kristoffer performs his magical comedy at over 150 shows per year for universities, community festivals, conventions, and corporate events for such clients as the Minnesota Zoo, Coca-Cola, Cray Research, University of Minnesota, Ordway Center for Performing Arts, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Grand Casino.
