Since my earliest days as a professional magician, I have concentrated on proving to adults that magic is not just for children’s birthday parties. I believe that too many television performances are dismissed by audiences as being camera and electronic trickery and paid stooges, which is often the correct explanation. All these explanations are useless when I perform a miracle inches away from the audience using an item borrowed from a spectator or with something which can be freely examined before and after the trick.

Unlike many magicians, I have not fallen into the trap of trying to impress other magicians with fantastic sleight-of-hand when the same effect can be accomplished by a much simpler technique. This has resulted in me being able to impart my personality onto the tricks and ensure that my performance is pure entertainment for my audience.

While living in London, I passed the entrance examination for the world famous ‘Magic Circle’. I also joined the ‘Grand Order Of Wizardry’ and was elected as Secretary for the club. I was also the only person to win all three annual trophies presented by the club simultaneously (stage magic, close-up magic and promotion of magical arts).

Whilst working in a ‘secret’ magic studio, I met many well known magicians including Billy McComb, Paul Daniels, Geoffrey Durham and Tommy Cooper and even had the honour of teaching Tommy to do a trick. Needless to say, Tommy never quite got it right and every visit to the studio resulted in a request to "show me that thing with the ropes again". During this time I assisted top professional magician Terry Seabrooke in making a very popular tuition video for other magicians.

I have performed at many top London restaurants, bars and night clubs. I also have the rare distinction of performing a card trick on the radio with Chris Tarrant on Capital Radio.

During recent visits to Las Vegas I befriended many famous performers including Siegfried and Roy - who invited me backstage on every occasion, Mac King - the presenter of the television series ‘Worlds Greatest Magic’, Rick Thomas - Illusionist and Dixie Dooley – Houdini tribute escapologist.

I’m not just a magician and my performing abilities were used a while ago when I played one of the lead parts in the world premier of a play by Peter Whelan entitled ‘Shakespeare Country’. I have also been the magical advisor for pantomime and enjoy the challenge of bringing magic into a show at exactly the right moment.

NOVEMBER 2009 - I have been asked to conduct a series of motivational classes for unemployed school leavers. The aim is to build up their self confidence, self esteem and social interaction skills by teaching them to perform magic tricks.
