Chris the Magician

Chris the Magician at your Christmas party

Planning a Christmas party up north? Chris is kept busy at weddings and society events right across Lancashire, Manchester, Cheshire and Cumbria, so he knows the venues and the crowds.

His act blends sleight of hand with mind reading. He works group to group, right up close, which is ideal for a festive drinks reception where people are standing around with a glass in one hand and not quite sure who to talk to. Five minutes with Chris sorts that out. He breaks the ice quickly and gets the party going.

The mind reading side is a nice change from straight card magic. Guessing what a colleague is thinking, in front of the whole team, tends to get a bigger reaction than any trick with a coin. And it gives people something to talk about at the bar for the rest of the night.

His act is polished and quick, so he can get round a good number of groups during a drinks reception. Pair him with a Christmas lunch or an evening do in Manchester or the Lakes and you've got the first hour covered.
