Corporate Event Entertainment at Kershaw’s 50th Anniversary
Case Study
In July 2024, Kershaw Knives invited me to be their corporate event entertainment for a major celebration—50 years in business. To mark the occasion, they hosted an exclusive event at a luxury resort in Newberg, Oregon, welcoming 200 of their most valued stakeholders, including top dealers, media partners, and company leadership.
Milestone events like this are about more than celebration—they reflect the brand’s legacy, culture, and future. That’s where corporate entertainment plays a vital role. My job, as a corporate event mentalist, was to end the night on a powerful note: with energy, wonder, and a shared experience that would stick with the guests long after the evening ended.
Why Corporate Event Entertainment Matters
Choosing the right entertainment for a corporate event isn’t just about filling time—it’s about shaping the atmosphere. Done right, corporate event entertainment can:
- Reinforce your brand’s values
- Energize attendees after a long day of meetings or speeches
- Provide a shared experience that sparks conversation
- Make your event memorable in a crowded calendar
Whether you’re celebrating a company anniversary, hosting a product launch, or planning a client appreciation night, professional entertainment adds a high-end touch that elevates the entire experience.
My Role at the Corporate Event Entertainment
I was scheduled as the final act of the night, following a series of speeches. My job was to send the evening off with a spark. When you’re the last person standing between guests and the bar, you’d better make it count. That’s exactly what I did—by blending elegant mentalism, audience interaction, and good-natured humor.

Client Feedback
Here’s what the event organizer had to say after the show:
“We brought Christophe in to perform at Kershaw’s 50th anniversary celebration. There was definitely pressure to make this one special. He blew everyone away. He brought energy, elegance, and surprise in a way that really elevated the entire experience. Our guests are still talking about it, and even made a point to tell me that I did a great job hiring Christophe.”

Takeaways from the Experience
When a company says, “This has to be perfect,” I know they’re looking for more than a few card tricks—they want a guaranteed outcome. That’s the strength of corporate magic and mentalism: it’s precise, powerful, and emotionally resonant. It brings people together in a moment of shared awe.
Unlike stand-up comedy or keynote speeches, a skilled corporate mentalist tailors every moment of the show to your brand, message, and audience. That’s what makes this style of corporate event entertainment so versatile and effective.
