What He Learned Performing for the World’s Elite

Chris Dugdale has lived a life most people wouldn’t believe. From being handed a wad of cash by the billionaire who invented Skype at James Bond’s birthday party to performing for Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Richard Branson, the Queen, and King Charles, while he drunkenly said “just get on with the bloody trick,” while spilling custard all over himself.He shares many amazing stories, some he probably shouldn’t, including the one he was never meant to talk about because no one ever handed him that NDA.We discuss the time he broke down at the Pentagon and was comforted by a four-star general in front of 600 of the most powerful people in America. How a private two-hour booking with Beyoncé and Jay-Z turned into six hours of magic, clay pigeon shooting, and Jay-Z DJing his finale magic act. And the many surreal moments in showbiz that money can’t buy.Along the way, Chris reveals the mindset behind staying at the top of his craft. The psychology of misdirection. The discipline and obsession that shaped his career. The grief that nearly broke him. The persistence that saved him. And the backstage chaos that every performer lives for.A world-class magician, a world-class storyteller, and one of the most charismatic guests ever to sit down on this show.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASThttps://www.youtube.com/@OnwardsToVictory/videosCHECK THIS OUT - GARRY STARRhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmbMT1h00tw&list=PLCz-Wi1q0qQDwgWolfL2258tqqXZwhhUd&index=7SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREONhttps://www.patreon.com/OnwardsToVictory STAY CONNECTED!https://www.youtube.com/@OnwardsToVictoryhttps://www.instagram.com/onwardstovictoryhttps://www.facebook.com/OnwardstovictorypodFOLLOW https://www.instagram.com/chrisjamesdugdale/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/chrisjamesdugdalehttps://x.com/chrisdugdalehttps://www.tiktok.com/@thechrisdugdale Theme tune: Magnus Danger D!Written by Christian Paul Rattray, Violet Empress Music.https://linktr.ee/violetempressHost: MAGNUS https://www.instagram.com/magnusdanger/?hl=enProducer: Justin Williamshttps://www.instagram.com/justinsgoodvibesAssistant to the Producer: Richard Sullivanhttps://www.instagram.com/richardsullivanWE WANNA HEAR FROM YOU!Do you have questions, ideas, or video suggestions?
