Chris Hester

I started studying magic at the age of 9. Throughout childhood, my best friend's dad was a hobbyist magician. I was also inspired by the NBC specials "World's Greatest Magic" where I saw Jeff McBride and David Williamson for the first time. I was raised by amazing grandparents who kept my interest in magic alive by taking me to the Queen of Hearts magic shop in Plano, TX. 

​

I've continued to study magic while pursuing a career in law enforcement. The skills, traits, and work ethic developed through 17+ years of law enforcement has greatly influenced my career in magic. I love to perform everything from close up magic to stand up & stage magic. I am a current member of the Jeff McBride Magic and Mystery School, a school dedicated to learning the performing art of magic. 

​

Outside of magic you'll find me spending time with family, working out / powerlifting, listening to Merle Haggard, and doing set design, consulting, and prop building for the haunted attraction industry.
