The earth goes round the Sun, the Sun still prints photos of topless models, you can't change the laws of the universe - or can you? BBC Radio 1's resident magician (or 'Wizzard') Chris Cox fuses magic, mind-reading, psychology & comedy to create a show like no other. You never know, he just might take control of YOUR life.

Incidence… or coincidence?

Following his hugely successful and unique Edinburgh Fringe ’06 debut show, He Can’t Read Minds?, Chris Cox is back, fusing magic, psychology, illusion, technology and mind-reading, in a new entertainment experience that will not only amuse, baffle, delight and screw with audiences minds as ever before, but will have them leaving the show asking the big questions and wondering if EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON is a comedy-fuelled, interactive, theatrical experience utilising cutting-edge magic, multimedia technology and youthful showmanship, energy and flair, with not a wand, fez, saw or crystal ball in sight. In EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, BBC Radio 1’s Resident Magician, Chris Cox, will delve deeper into the minds of the audience, with the help of his reluctant assistant, ‘Skinny Me’ (a 2D pre-recorded version of Chris). Through subliminal messaging, subtle suggestion, illusion and psychology, Chris performs a series of individual mind-tricks as he takes the audience on a path to their own grand finale that Chris will have predicted – and if he didn’t, then perhaps he wasn’t meant to, the show will finish a couple of minutes early and who knows where those extra minutes will lead; To the purchase of a winning lottery ticket? To the middle of the road at the wrong time, only to be struck down by a bus? Meeting a soul-mate through a chance encounter as you leave the venue early? And, should that happen, will it have been influenced by Chris suggesting it might?

Chris has been interested in magic since the age of six, when he received a Paul Daniels Magic Set as a gift. Ten years later and Chris had been gripped by the psychological aspect of magic, specifically mind-reading. Now 23 year’s old, Chris has honed his skills, performing on a vast number of TV shows including Comic Relief, Live & Kicking, The Big Breakfast and The Seven O’ Clock News. In 2004, Chris was spotted by BBC Radio 1 producers whilst performing in Bristol and Glastonbury and was quickly signed up as the top UK radio station’s Resident Magician, devising tricks and delighting audiences alongside Chris Moyles, Colin Murray, Edith Bowman and Jo Whiley. More recently, Chris has worked with the likes of Russell Brand and Ricky Gervais and now often finds himself referred to as “…a young laid-back Derren Brown…”, with the ever-modest Chris adding “…but better looking… and funnier!”

To find out if EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON, Chris will be performing at daily (1 Aug – 27 Aug, exc. 14 Aug) at 6.30pm, at The Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh Festival Fringe ’07.
