Christian
has been a professional magician for many years. At an early
stage in his career he was influenced and inspired by Derek
Lever a truly amazing' Man of Magic'. He encouraged
Christian to perfect his magic act to a higher level,
resulting in him achieving the best accolade of his career,
when he won the most prestigious award in British Stage
Magic - The British General Category and the overall
Grand-Prix Champion of Magic in 1997 at Blackpool. He toured
with the fantastic Wayne Dobson and was then contracted to
the world famous Lido de Paris and the top Spanish venue,
The Benidorm Palace. Since then he has toured for 16 years
with Ken Dodd, a truly wonderful gentleman and a veteran of
stage craft. With Ken he has appeared in massive theatres
throughout. Britain including The London Palladium. His
expertise in building magic 'props' and 'sets' was learned
from his father who was a precision engineer. Together they
built original props for Christian's act allowing him to
reach the top competitive level.
In
latter years he became acquainted with Yogano, a mega-star
of magic invention, and the two became firm friends.
Christian regarded him as his mentor and he visited his
workshop and home in France where he trained under his
tutor-ship in the building of Yogano's world famous
levitations. Since then Yogano has allowed Christian to
purchase the rights to his amazing levitations, in order to
take over the responsibility of conserving the Yogano name,
by continuing to build his inventions.
Christian has wide and varied expertise and has built up a
unique business, constructing innovative 'props' and 'sets'
for his customers, encompassing all aspects of magic,
including electronics and remote-controlled effects. |
