In a show that utilises magic, illusion, psychological suggestion and multimedia technology, comes a unique entertainment experience to leave minds in a quandary. Following a hugely successful run at this year?s Edinburgh Fringe, BBC Radio 1?s resident magician Chris Cox will present his brilliantly original stage show HE CAN'T READ MINDS? for a three night run at the Etcetera Theatre, Camden, from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 November, where he will demonstrate his unique powers that defy earthly boundaries?

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

HE CAN’T READ MINDS? is a fully interactive, comedy-driven, theatrical experience which takes magic into the 21st century, utilising multimedia technology and youthful flair; no wand, crystal ball or fez to be found here! With the help of his wonderful assistant ‘Skinny me’ (a 2D pre-recorded version of Chris), Chris delves deep into the minds of the audience, uncovering secrets, making predictions and implanting experiences he simply couldn’t possibly know or do… or could he?

“A fun show… I guarantee Chris’ final trick will leave you awe-struck & speechless”
- THREE WEEKS

The 22-year old first became interested in the art of magic at the age of six, after receiving a Paul Daniels magic set; Chris comments: “When I reached 16, I became more interested in the psychological side of magic, more in particular, mind reading. I found that I could combine my knowledge of magic, with the psychological element; reading body language and deception, to make it look like I could read minds. I added multimedia elements with comedy and found that the combination worked pretty well.”

“Unbelievable… best Cox ever!”
- BBC RADIO 1

Chris’s impressive track record spans twelve-years during which time he has performed on numerous television shows including The Big Breakfast, Live and Kicking, Jack Dee’s Happy Hour, Comic Relief and BBC 3’s The 7 O’Clock News. In 2004, he became a resident magician for BBC Radio 1 after being spotted by producers while performing in Bristol and Glastonbury. He has continued to baffle and delight audiences on-air with the likes of BBC presenters Chris Moyles, Jo Whiley, Colin Murray and Edith Bowman.

“I have this strange compulsion to use the word ‘Amazing’ but I’m not quite sure why”

This is a completely unique and new form of mind reading. - even though he says he can't read minds! A fully interactive - and funny - multi-media theatrical experience, it's also funny - encompassing (funny) mind reading, (funny) magic, psychology and comedy (the comedy's not too hot but everything else is funny).

This 22-year-old has an impressive track record. He has already baffled and delighted BBC Radio 1 audiences with his performances.

Chris has been performing for more than 12 years and recently has been exposed to a national audience having featured on Radio 1, BBC 3, BBC 7 and in the Metro newspaper. He even created tricks for Jo Whiley to perform to Derren Brown on her show.

"Chris has taken mind magic to a new level. You'll laugh your head off while still being blown away" - Metro

It's all set up in advance with an audience full of stooges who come prepared to make Chris Cox look like the bastard child of Uri Geller and Derren Brown. Anyone who can really do what Mr Cox insists he can do should be burned at the stake or at the very least poached in warm water until he gives up his unholy secrets. The fact is he can't read minds - no one can, except for that bloke up our road who wears his wife's dentures. He's been reading people's minds for years and stealing knickers off their washing lines. Perhaps he taught Chris Cox - Oh My God - perhaps Cox CAN reads minds and he's just trying to put us off the scent. Now that WOULD be a show worth seeing.

''I have enjoyed some serious Cox action before and I absolutely loved it. One of Britain's up and coming real magicians. Utterly Unbelievable - best Cox ever!' – Colin Murray, BBC Radio One.
