Sam Fender was left wowed by magician Chris Cross after he performed a number of mind-bending tricks for him and his band after his sell-out gig in Newcastle.
The local legend performed back-to-back shows at Newcastle's Utilita Arena as his Seventeen Going Under tour came to an end this week. Geordie anthem Local Hero filled the air at his sell-out shows as flags from Newcastle United favourites Wor Flags heralded Sam's arrival on his home turf.
And it seems the lively atmosphere continued off-stage as well after Geordie magician Chris Cross kept Sam and his band entertained backstage. Chris performed a number of tricks for Sam who called him a "legend" and said he was a "top boy in his field" after he was left bewildered by what he saw.
