BIOGRAPHY
Chris Pilsworth was born in Toronto in
1963, but has lived most of his life in Ottawa, Canada's capital city.
Chris' enthusiasm for magic was sparked at the age of twelve, when he
attended a magic show at Ottawa's National Arts Centre. This interest
continued unabated throughout his high school and university years.
After graduating from Carleton University in 1986, Chris decided to
pursue his dream of becoming a full-time professional magician. The
degree he earned in Industrial Design (with distinction) has greatly
enhanced Chris' ability to create unique props and illusions.
After entertaining thousands of satisfied customers at corporate and
private events, Chris was drawn towards the theatre. In 1997,
following many years of planning, he independently produced and
starred in his own theatrical magic show. Entitled: Disappearing
Nightly, the 'dramagic' production brought together many
never-seen-before illusions with music, dance and drama. The premier
show played a full week to capacity crowds at the Ron Maslin Playhouse
in Kanata, Ontario, and received standing ovations every night. This
and the show: Catch The Magic has continued to tour
throughout the province of Ontario.
Chris has participated in many magic competitions and won awards at
both the national and international level. He is a winner of the Tom
Auburn Award in Montreal. As a result of his unique, very personal
approach to the performance of magic, Chris has become well-known and
highly respected throughout Ontario and Western Quebec. Whether the
event takes place on a theatre stage, at the Governor General's Garden
Party, or the opening festivities of the Corel Centre, home of the
Ottawa Senators hockey team, Chris continues to wow his audiences.
