Chris Cross ™

Chris Cross is a Comedy Magician, Contortionist and Escapologist, who performs Cabaret and Stage Shows up and down the UK and Worldwide.

Chris reigns as one of the Top Escapologists in the UK and performs both Standard and Exclusive Customised Escapes around the World for Corporate Events, Trade Shows, Product Launches and Promotions, Festivals, Theatres, Comedy Clubs and So On…!

Chris starts his Cabaret Show by ‘Warming-Up’ his body by Performing some Contortionism Moves that really get the ‘Freaked Out Factor’ spread around the Audience! Dancing with his bones, Making his shoulder blade look like a Chicken Wing, Clapping with his Elbows, Skipping with his arms – all performed in a Comedy Manner - General Madness…(!) For the Big Finale Chris has the Audience Cheering and Whooping on their feet as he makes his Big Escape! Chris can Escape from a Straitjacket to 50metres of Clingfilm, from a Giant sized Company Product to restraints inside a New Convertible - whatever suits the event!

My Cabaret show can go from a 5min Corporate icebreaker to an hour-long one-man show...so the shows duration is between 5mins and an hour depending on What Will Work Best for the Event. As for Close-Up Magic, I generally perform for an hour, 2hours or longer...The Show has received much praise and was included in the 'Top 10 Speciality Acts Currently Working the Circuit' Article recently in 'The Stage' Magazine, London.

Alongside the Cabaret and Stage Shows, Chris is a member of the Northern Magic Circle and is Respectively a Highly Skilled and Very Much Charactered(!) Close-Up Magician. Combining Quick Wit and Talent, Chris can perform Walkaround, Meet and Greet, Mix and Mingle Close-Up Magic. Regular Performances at Casinos, Nightclubs, Corporate Events, VIP Parties, Celebrity Afterpaties and so on...

Chris is a very much ‘stand out’ character what with his Crazy Hair, Tall Towering Structure and his trademark yellow and black, he is certainly someone who can attract a lot of attention and make the most of the abundance of attention he manages to gather.

Chris isn’t a Crusty Old Magician, if it’s the Fresh and Funky, Modern and Stylish, Cool and Professional Image and Approach you want to go for, Chris Cross is the BEST Entertainer for the job - combining quick wit, charm and talent with his bags of confidence alongside his gelling, engaging personality he has with his spectators, he provides a service to definitely be remembered and talked about for years later.

PA System, Large Spiderframe Backdrop and Platform can be provided if required. Chris is a member of Equity and he's CRB Checked.
