Christopher Rose has been fascinated by the subject of psychological manipulation for most of his life. As a result, he developed an interest in the art of magic which lead him to discover mentalism. Christopher has been a professional mentalist for his entire adult career. Hailing from Smithfield, Virginia, Christopher recently moved to Las Vegas to continue his study of deception and the workings of the human mind. As a teenager, he was profiled by two of magic's leading periodicals "Magic Magazine" and "The Linking Ring" and named among the most talented magicians in the world. He was also featured in two documentary films in 2007 and 2008 about magic, one produced by the Canadian Broadcast Company and the other independently produced for magicians. He has since continued his journey to expand his knowledge of academia to better understand the nature of deception. In the academic world, Christopher has published works about poetry, psychology, philosophy, and mathematics. And in 2011 he was awarded an honorary Doctorate from Berkley
