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 'the magician' 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?
"He's Brilliant, He'll Blow Your Mind" Ricky Gervais
"One Of The Most Exciting Entertainers In Britain." The Guardain
"Does Tricks That Would Make Jesus Proud. Very Funny." Time Out
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, Chris ‘The Magician’ Cox of BBC Radio 1’s Chris Moyles’ Breakfast Show, will delve deeper into the minds of the audience. 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?
“A fun show… I guarantee Chris’ final trick will leave you awe-struck & speechless”

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!”
“…masterful skill & technique… make for a fully entertaining hour – MUST SEE”
