Hailing from Birmingham, Ben has been performing on stages for over twenty years.
After quitting his “proper job” in 2009, to pursue a career as a full time magician, Ben decided to launch a YouTube channel, which involved him “stalking celebrities” (in a nice way) and then doing magic to them – His favourite adventure is still the one he flew to L.A. to find Britney Spears!
This led to Ben being offered a number of opportunities as a TV magician/presenter. First on CBBC, then Discovery Channel’s “Breaking Magic” and his own magic/prank show, Tricked on ITV2, which was awarded “Best Entertainment Show” (Broadcast Digital Awards).
For over a decade Ben has loved performing his funny, interactive magic on TV shows all over The World and simultaneously hosting radio shows, and large global corporate events.
As a LIVE performer one of his proudest achievements is performing in London’s West End, in “The Illusionists” and “ITVs Live at The Palladium”. His one-man shows also received five stars in 2016 and 2018 at Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Theatre Weekly awarded it, “The best variety show of The Fringe!” (2018).
He is still completely loving performing on TV, Online, or on stage and the entrepreneur in him has also branched out into co-founding a digital marketing company, based in the heart of Birmingham!
Ben particpated in our New Year Speaker Drinks on 21st January 2021, More details and full show here: https://www.performingartistes.co.uk/events-post/29
