BIOGRAPHY

Martin's journey into the world of magic began with a childhood fascination that blossomed into a passion. However, it wasn't until he turned 18 that he formally embarked on learning the intricacies of Close-up Magic. At the age of 21, fueled by ambition, Martin took a leap of faith and flew to Spain to pursue his dreams of making a living through magic. There, he performed his Close-up Magic act in bars, relying solely on tips for sustenance.

After tirelessly honing his craft for two months, Martin's talent caught the attention of the management at The Benidorm Palace, Spain's largest variety show venue. He was soon appointed as the resident magician, entertaining audiences of over 1000 nightly with his Close-up Magic performances spotlighted table to table. Recognizing his potential, The Benidorm Palace offered Martin the opportunity to showcase his skills on the main stage. With ingenuity and flair, he developed a captivating double-act featuring doves and parrots, culminating in the astounding illusion of making a 16-meter-long Lear Jet Aeroplane magically appear on stage, a feat now recognized as the World's largest stage appearance.

Armed with a wealth of experience in visual stage magic, Martin felt compelled to expand his repertoire. At 25, he crafted two full shows blending visual magic with comedy, a move that proved immensely successful. Soon after, Martin's talent attracted the attention of various cruise lines, where he delighted audiences with his magic and humour for over five years.

Today, based just south of London and at the age of 40, Martin continues to dazzle audiences with his mesmerizing Close-up and Comedy Stage Magic at corporate events, weddings, and private parties in London, across the UK, and upon request, around the globe.
