Chris Cox
Chris Cox is ‘one of the most exciting entertainers in Britain’ according to The Guardian, Time Out thinks, ‘he does tricks that would make Jesus proud… Loveable, geeky & deceptively talented,’ they’re not alone, The Times think he’s ‘stunning’ and ‘leaves other magicians scratching their heads.’ Chris agrees with all these things but also likes to think he’s far to modest to make them the first things people read about him.
He is a unique force when it comes to mind-reading entertainment. Chris already has a string of accolades under his belt including 5 Edinburgh Fringe shows, 3 UK Tours, 2 West End Shows, an extended & sell out run at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival, a bloody big heap of 5 star reviews, 2 Edinburgh Fringe Awards, a 2011 Best Comedy Award, 2007/08/09/11 sell out shows, must see show listings and numerous TV and Radio appearances. All that and he’s still in his early 20s. What a busy boy.
The self proclaimed mind reader who can’t read minds is an accomplished and much loved performer, making a mongrel hybrid mix of witty chit chat, magic, psychology, body language, influencing, devilish good looks… and lying, to make you think he knows what your thinking. All this helps him to produce a highly-entertaining and very funny cutting edge show.
He’s popped up doing tricks on Radio 1, has been on your screens on The Mentalist Revealed (C5), Dick & Dom’s Funny Business (BBC 2) The Culture Show (BBC 2) and Little Howard’s Big Question (BBC 1) not only that but he was also part of the Bafta nominated team as the man who brought magic to bbc.co.uk’s Merlin. As well as writing his own shows he has written articles for Mr & Mrs Smith, The Times and Virgin Atlantic.
Ricky Gervais said Chris is, ‘Brilliant, he’ll blow your mind’ and he is never wrong. Other celebrity fans of Cox include Dannii Minogue, Kelly Osbourne, Agyness Deyn and Tim Minchin.
Chris is currently developing several mind-reading projects for TV in the US and the UK while still focusing on his critically acclaimed live work.
