chrisjones (one word) is one of the newest and most energetic performers. chrisjones has been taking his insane hypnosis show across the country, giving the audience an incredibly interactive show. His hypnosis show allows the audience to become the stars!
Recently he has been on America’s Got Talent, and was responsible for hypnotising Howie Mandel, one of the judges, to shake hands with everyone – something he would never do without a glove.
Chicago-native, chrisjones took a roundabout way to becoming one of today’s most entertaining performers on the college market. A nationally ranked athlete in college, he studied Sociology and Psychology claiming himself to be a “social engineer with deviant motives.” He was a Resident Assistant for three years and used magic as a means of connecting with students living in the hall.
After years of performing only magic and stand-up comedy at weddings, bars and smoky nightclubs, chrisjones realized he wanted “to learn some new tricks.” While in graduate school, he became fascinated with the art of hypnosis and found the missing piece of his show. Performing three shows a week while obtaining a Masters studying Therapeutic Recreation, he tirelessly analyzed every second of his show to find the perfect balance of conjuring, psychology, comedy and suggestion.
During our conversation, Chris shares about:
– Growing up as a biracial child with a speech impediment in Chicago
– The support his parents have given him and how has he handled his parents divorce when he heard about it
– How he supports his parents
– How wanting to being a priest changed to wanting to be a performer
– Some of his thoughts about fatherhood
– How Bill Cosby was a comedy influence for him when he was growing up and some of his thoughts about the rape allegations
– Some of the challenges that he deals with being on the road
– Some of his concerns for Black men
– How did he end up on America’s Got Talent and the experience
