Chris
was born in Highgate, London and brought up in Harlow, Essex, where
he attended Mark Hall Comprehensive School. His career has been a varied
and colourful one. The early years found Chris trying his hand at many jobs, including road
maintenance, building-site work and theatre stage hand. He
has also worked as a graphic designer and as a sales rep for a printing
and a publishing company. Eventually Chris realised that he had a natural
talent for entertaining people and since turning professional has never
looked back. This is where he has been most happy and successful. His only
qualification is his life experience, which has equipped him well with all
the ammunition he needs both to enthral adults or children and to throw
them into fits of laughter. As a member of the International Brotherhood
of Magicians and the Sussex Magic Circle, he is committed to offering
a high level of entertainment to any size of audience. He has worked extensively
in schools and was commissioned by East Sussex Education Authority to lecture
teachers on the art of communicating effectively with large groups of children.
