Marrying two popular forms of magic, Chris is uniquely placed to impress audiences of all sizes with grand illusions and sleight of hand. The perfect choice for any event, Chris’s professionalism, stagecraft, and crowd interaction ensure every performance is memorable. Chris is descended from a long line of magicians going back over 120 years. His great-uncle, Kirkland the Magician, was one of the world’s only blind conjurers and it was this astounding feat that inspired Chris to follow in his footsteps.
Chris first received a magic set at the age of 11 and began performing on stage at the tender age of 16. His first show in front of a live theatre audience was a boon for the illusionist and he soon garnered a dedicated following. Chris honed his craft performing for the likes of Butlins, Casino Revue Shows, and cruise liners. For his troubles, Chris was awarded the prestigious British Magical Champion of Illusion award.
From these bright beginnings, Chris developed an unforgettable act that has seen him tour the UK and world. Entitled The Art of Illusion, Chris’ show has stunned audiences as far away as Hong Kong. A highlight for Chris was successfully making a cast of 36 dancers disappear on a live television broadcast in Hong Kong.
Chris’ expertise has also seen him employed throughout the industry as a puppeteer, assistant stage manager, and magical consultant. He has also lent his genius to The Illusionist Live 2013 European Show where he worked as an illusion technician and production assistant. The experienced illusionist was responsible for the creation of everything from concept through to the finished product.
Chris is no stranger to corporate or private events, bringing his professional act to stages of all sizes. He has been specifically sought by several professional celebrities and was even booked by theme parks and casinos. Another interesting facet of Chris’ performance is you can select an illusion from his repertoire and decide the length of the set. He can even create a bespoke performance, as he has previously done for the launch of national brands.
A truly talented magician and illusionist, Chris truly has to be seen to be believed. Injecting magic, drama, and illusion into every event he will have guests on the edge of the seat transfixed by his mind-bending feats. A unique act, unlike any other, Chris, is a must for your next event.
