This then opens new neural pathways for our brains to explore, priming the group for the remainder of the sessions. • Risk-taking - Actions speak louder than words. Selecting Chris's show plays on Experiential Learning Theory whereby taking part in this kind of intervention (a safe, 30-minute session in the comfort of the Committee's own homes that's very different to anything they've done before) demonstrates the act of safe risk-taking prompting learning, self-realisation and, when needed, showing that this programme is going to be different from day one. • Role modelling - The Iceberg Theory and Modelling Theory suggest that humans are influenced by what they see others doing, often without the person influencing realising it. Chris' show is designed to demonstrate the power of hidden influence and how it can be controlled to give a desired outcome. Don’t take our word for it. Chris is adept not only as an entertainer but also at helping people to understand better how to be a magician in business. He entertains and then anatomises his craft to demonstrate how people can achieve the seemingly impossible simply by noticing more, by ‘reading’ people more intently, by appreciating what’s hidden in plain sight. For any business in the business of transformation Chris can offer insights – a few magic tricks - and memorable methodology.

companies a unique proposition. Working together he will deliver a talk or workshop which

hits your key takeaways in an insightful and impactful way. Often focusing on the magic of

creativity and the psychology of change, he doesn’t tell, he quite literally, shows.

Combining his years as a producer at BBC Radio 1 with his years of performing on stage

he can create something truly special in which he can show rather than tell.

Research has shown that magic has powerful learning impacts for generating more novel

and original ideas, disrupting stereotypical thinking, creative thought, adaptability &

resilience, lateral thinking & problem solving, fostering trust, storytelling & imagination to

name but a few.

So then, why use a mind reader?

• Surprise - To shake things up and force your team to think differently about

anything from attitude and behaviour change to the reason they think the way they

do.

• Risk-taking - To push the group out of their comfort zone and demonstrate things

such as "taking more risks safely" or “trusting your team” in action (show not tell)

• Role modelling - To demonstrate that everything we do or say influencers others,

often in subtle ways that they may not realise

How Chris's work meets those objectives (the science)

• Surprise - Chris's show uses cognitive thought development and the behavioural

science behind surprise to people out of their comfort zones and start to think

differently. This then opens new neural pathways for our brains to explore,

priming the group for the remainder of the sessions.

• Risk-taking - Actions speak louder than words. Selecting Chris's show plays on

Experiential Learning Theory whereby taking part in this kind of intervention (a safe,

30-minute session in the comfort of the Committee's own homes that's very different

to anything they've done before) demonstrates the act of safe risk-taking prompting

learning, self-realisation and, when needed, showing that this programme is going

to be different from day one.

• Role modelling - The Iceberg Theory and Modelling Theory suggest that humans

are influenced by what they see others doing, often without the person influencing

realising it. Chris' show is designed to demonstrate the power of hidden influence

and how it can be controlled to give a desired outcome.

Don’t take our word for it.

Chris is adept not only as an entertainer but also at helping people to understand better

how to be a magician in business.
