“To GIVE audiences lasting memories of wonder and amazement, by championing and celebrating the art and performance of magic.”

If you ask a magician about their journey into the world of magic most answer in the same way - they were given a magic set as a child, but this was not the case for Chris…

At an early age, Chris became an assistant to a stage magician, at first learning the basics of theatre and stagecraft before gradually learning the secrets of larger stage illusions and becoming captivated by this strange but wonderful world of magic. Growing up, this became a passion, which led to years dedicated to learning sleight of hand technique with cards, coins, cutlery, borrowed objects, or for that matter anything he could get his hands on.

Fast forward to 2018, after a 10 year career in teaching, Chris decided to leave and pursue a full time profession as a magician and established Chris Wilder Magic. Initially this was as a solo performer, but very quickly Chris’s ambition grew to something much bigger with a desire to build more opportunities for people to experience wonder and astonishment, to help teach and train aspiring magicians, and to create platforms for artists to perform incredible magic.

Chris and his team are based in Nottingham but serve the whole of the UK. Chris is a Member of The Magic Circle and since 2018, has been producing and hosting events and shows including “The Curious Cabaret”, “Legerdemain”, “The Conjurer’s Collection”, “Sleight”, “A Magical Bottomless Brunch” and the “Stagecraft Workshop Series”.

Upcoming plans include directing and producing shows for other artists and establishing a live hospitality and performance venue for magic in the UK.
