Having spent the last fifteen years traveling the world, performing in theatres, cruise ships and on TV, Chris Funk’s talents have earned him worldwide recognition. He has had appearances on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Masters of Illusionsas well as SyFy’s Wizard Wars. His unique approach to magic has garnered him performances at Las Vegas’ Planet Hollywood, Hollywood’s World-Famous Magic Castle as well as on Disney Cruise Lines. Whether it’s Sri Lanka, Chile, LA, NY, Las Vegas, the middle of the ocean, or the Midwest, Chris’ show has garnered standing ovations and a reputation for excellence.

“I'm so excited about performing at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for two reasons,” says Chris Funk. “First, now more than ever before, we all need a little wonder and awe in our lives. The entertainment industry has been hit with this massive challenge and it’s had to make so many changes with social distancing. The fact that I can perform my show for a live audience is an amazing feeling! I've modified the show that I've toured to accommodate all the measures we need to take right now to stay safe.”

“The second reason, is that I get to perform in my new hometown. Last year I was on the road 220 days of the year. I didn't get to sleep in my own bed after a show. Always a hotel or a cruise ship room. I'm pumped I get to bring my passion to my home audience!” Chris’ excitement of performing for the first time in Chilliwack since moving here is palpable and promises to be a show you won’t soon forget. “The show will combine my two passions. Magic, and some live music. You'll see some creations that have made appearances on some of the largest television shows in the world, such as America's Got Talent, Fool Us and Masters of Illusion.”

Bold, powerful and delivered with a hilarious comedic flair, Chris has masterfully created a not to be missed show that will leave you mystified.
