Q. How did you first get into magic?
A. Magic has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember (well since I was a child anyway),
being brought up on a healthy diet of the Paul Daniels Magic Show. My brother was a magician and
introduced me to the world of magic when I was about 9 years old. Unfortunately,
I had to wait until I was 13 before being able to join my local club which at that
time was the Middlesbrough Circle of Magicians Prep Group. It was a great
club that really fuelled my passion for magic. I was a member there until
I started work & college where unfortunately there was a clash and the magic had
to sit in second place to my studies. 17 years later I made the conscious decision
to get back into magic and practised the art again. I'm so glad that I did as I love it and
so do the people that I perform for.
Q. Who were your inspirations?
A. As I mentioned earlier, Paul Daniels and many of his guests were the main inspiration,
but I probably would not have been this interested if not for my brother and the support
and dedication of my parents driving me to the Middlesbrough Circle of Magicians, which
at the time, was about 30 mins away from our home.
Q. Where are you from?
A. Wow - That's deep. Where are any of us from!
Okay, originally, I'm from the North-East of England, born in a town called Guisborough.
Although my studies and work have taken me towards the South-West. I’ve been living in Swindon now for the last
20 Years .
Q. Are you married?
A. Yes and happy to say that I've been married to Rachel the past
19 Years .
We have two sons who are now 13 Years and 11 Years old.
Both of them interested in magic too. Well how could they not be!
Q. What sort of magic do you like?
A. Well, I like pretty much any type of performance magic. I love watching it as much as performing it
Q. Are you a member of any other clubs?
A. I am a member of the Cotswold Magical Society and
the Fellowship of Christian Magicians. (FCM UK
