“The Magic of Christopher” is entertainment that appeals to all ages, which makes it great family entertainment (except perhaps for the very youngest). Christopher’s act is just the right blend of comedy, mystery, and suspense, with a little audience participation thrown into the mix. His droll, sophisticated humor is a large part of his appeal.
Christopher began his career as a professional clown, performing seven shows a day at an amusement park. Now fifteen years and thousands of shows later, he has appeared at elementary and secondary schools, libraries, bookstores, corporate events, trade shows, private parties—you name it, he’s been there! According to Christopher, “From comedy clubs to biker bars, I’ve performed in every venue imaginable. There is not an audience I haven’t seen.”
Performing about 200 shows a year, Christopher has appeared throughout the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. His broad experience is evident to his audiences, as is his delight in what he does. His audiences have fun because Christopher has fun. And Christopher is not your average magician with the same tired old tricks, so expect to be surprised. Mind reading? Fire eating? Daring escapes? Who knows what we’ll see!
“The Magic of Christopher” is free and for ages 5 and up. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Canton Public Library is at 40 Dyer Avenue, Canton. For information: (860) 693-5800 or www.cantonpubliclibrary.org
