Independently Speaking

This was in The Independent newspaper on Saturday “Chris Cox – Fatal Distraction. Astonishing feats of jiggery-pokery from “the mind-reader who can’t read minds”; a kind of Derren Brown for the E4 generation, blessed with oodles of on-stage pep.”

That’s nice isn’t it? (yes)

On The Road Again

In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, or the small bird a rook, then you may not have noticed that Chris Cox is currently touring Fatal Distraction to rave reviews and standing ovations all round the UK. Be sure to catch him in a small, intimate theatre before it is too late. All the remaining dates can be found over here on the live page, and we’ll be announcing some London ones for 2012 very soon.

Another 5 Stars for Fatal Distraction

From ThreeWeeks

Chris Cox: Fatal Distraction *****

Chris Cox’s extraordinary mind-reading display forced me to reconsider my review star-rating policy, as five stars seem almost too miserly for this show. An endearing boy-next-door version of the unnervingly sinister Derren Brown, Cox had dozens of baffling tricks up his sleeve during this performance, and it couldn’t have been coincidental when each one was executed to perfection. Long before the stunning grand finale, his illusions were so consistently astounding that the magical and remarkable became commonplace and customary. For example, shortly after revealing the mobile number of an unsuspecting audience member, Cox demonstrated that he had memorised seemingly every detail in this year’s colossal Fringe programme. ‘Fatal Distraction’ is listed on page 57 – book your ticket immediately.
