Chris was absolutely fantastic at entertaining the resident's at the care home I work in! It was so special to see the wonder in their eyes and to see the smiles he got from them all. Chris adapted his magic and mind reading to suit each resident and then blew the minds of some of the staff! Thank you so much Chris :) More...

The most amazing talented magician we’ve ever seen! We first met Chris 5 years ago at a family wedding and from that moment we knew when we got married we had to book him. His skills are unbelievable and our guests are still talking about him two weeks on from our wedding. Such a star! Thank you for entertaining all our guests and we hope to see you again in the near future! More...

Our guests were so impressed with Chris who was our Magician and Mind Reader at our wedding at the beginning of March. It was great to provide them with some entertainment during the reception drinks and he definitely went down a storm. They were talking about him all day and comparing tricks with each other. Highly recommended. More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
I've been interested in magic since around 7 years old, after receiving a Paul Daniels magic set for Christmas. From there the magic bug bit hard, and now I travel the UK entertaining at all types of social events and get to visit the most amazing places!
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Lots of weird and wonderful experiences which you rarely get to enjoy in daily life. For example, imagine I ask you to DRAW ANYTHING that pops into your head. Even though I'm blindfolded, I will describe your drawing in fine and intricate detail!
Or I ask you to THINK of ANYONE (dead or alive, famous or none famous, even a childhood friend is you wish). With just ONE question, I will tell you who this person is and when you last thought about them.
Also, despite NEVER touching your phone, I will divine the lock code and unlock it right in front of you.
Plus the 'LIVE AND IN YOUR HANDS' BENDING OF YOUR COIN always goes down a treat!
What do you love most about your job?
Seeing a wide-eyed, child like expression creep across the most hardened face. It reminds me that no matter what day you have had, a little magic can make ANYONES day a little brighter.
What inspired you to start your own business?
9-5 just was not for me. I was inspired by a quote from Roald Dahl "If you don't believe in magic, you will never find it" So I set off on my magical career in search of wonder in 2002 and I have never looked back!
Why should our clients choose you?
I have created my act to appeal to a modern audience, so I will use peoples iPhones or other personal items for a more intimate and personal magical experience. Whilst what I do is rooted in magic, what I offer goes way beyond a bunch of the usual 'card tricks'. I strive to make the mind reading magic all about the audience, and not about my 'clever skills'. Plus I back up my act with exceptional customer service, from initial point of enquiry to what happens after the gig.
