Often dubbed "a less scary/more fun version of Derren Brown", Chris Cox has already notched up many television appearances on The Big Breakfast, Live and Kicking, Jack Dee's Happy Hour, Comic Relief and BBC 3's The 7'0'Clock News. In 2004, he became Resident Magician for BBC Radio 1and has continued to baffle and delight audiences on-air with the likes of Chris Moyles, Jo Whiley, Colin Murray and Edith Bowman. 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, Chris ‘The Magician’ Cox of BBC Radio 1’s Chris Moyles’ Breakfast Show, 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?
