Chris Cox

Fee Band


As the mind reader who can’t read minds, Chris combines psychology, humour, body language, influencing skills and plain lying to suggest he actually can. According to Time Out, the star of the hit West End and Broadway show The Illusionists ‘does tricks that would make Jesus proud' and can boast working with Hugh Jackman, Heston Blumenthal, and on the stage production of Harry Potter And The Cursed Child.
