Twisted by Chris Conner Gallery

With a degree in Advertising/PR and an emphasis in broadcasting from Wichita State University in Wichita, KS, Chris started out working in TV and radio. At 15, he started performing magic professionally.
 

Chris started performing standup comedy at 17. He became a member of The Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, while filming a video for one of his live programs (Mysteries of the Human Body for Exploration Place in Wichita, KS).
 

As Director of Education and Programs for Old Cowtown Museum, in Wichita, KS, he combined storytelling and hands-on experiences for a unique approach at teaching the history of the Old West and Southern Plains. He was one of the original staff members of Exploration Place, Inc., in Wichita, as the Presentations and Special Programs Coordinator. His main responsibility at Exploration Place was creating the image and design of the live, educational programs for the Kemper Presentation Theater. Along with creating, writing, producing, directing and performing in the Kemper Presentation Theater shows, Chris also created special programs and activities throughout Exploration Place and provided creative input for new programs and exhibits. Prior to Exploration Place, Chris was in charge of the educational programming for the Children’s Museum in Wichita. 

In the last several years, balloon twisting has taken on an even greater role in Chris’ presentations. If you can name it, Chris can probably make it out of balloons! His “twisted” sense of humor, combined with his twisted magic and balloons makes quite an impression for all kinds of events.
 

Today, he combines his background in broadcasting, performance, education, entertainment and museums to create unique, programming that’s both intriguing and entertaining.
