Chris Dugdale - International Award Winning Close up Magician, started learning magic at the age of 8 years old. Not being an enthusiastic read, his Grandfather thought it would encourage Chris to read if he bought him a set of magic tricks and go through the instructions with him. The magic took hold more than the reading! From that young age he was captivated and this had lead into a life long passion of the art.

At the age of 18 he became the youngest member of the world renowned Magic Circle and successfully levitated a presenter on BBC television live in front of 6 million people. Shortly after becoming a 2 time winner in the International Magic Circle Close up Competition, he was promoted to the highest honor possible by award - "Associate of the Inner Magic Circle". The day he graduated from Leicester University, armed with a degree in Psychology, he became a full time magician and has since become a world famous author of his own magic and lecturer on the psychology of magic. But performance is his real passion and in 2003 he became the first magician in history to entertain Her Majesty the Queen and the United Nations in the same year. December 2nd 2005 saw his return to New York to entertain at the United Nations.

In 2006 he co-starred in the World premier of the 'Naked Magicians' in Hollywood and earned himself and his fellow cast members 3 standing ovations in one night.

Chris's original approach to the performance of close up magic has taken him around the world entertaining the wealthiest and most famous people on the planet. His schedule has included over 100 appearances in the Monte Carlo Casino in Las Vegas and over 50 shows at the world famous Hollywood Magic Castle. Chris is currently working on an international television series.
