Chris Carter has performed annually at Â鶹´«Ã½ for at least 17 years! He is a mentalist and hypnotist who blows the minds of students and families year after year. Chris has audience members write very specific numbers and statements on a card, and blindfolded, will be able to identify the numbers and statements on the cards while engaging with the people who wrote with them. He shows the most impressive card tricks, uses the power of suggestion to influence the senses of audience members, and can even identify the special code on your dollar bill without seeing it.
