Marc Paul

Wednesday

Marc was introduced to magic, like so many others, when a relative bought him a magic set at the age of 7, and like so many others he couldn't do any of the tricks! It was only when he was off ill from school one day that the magic set was pulled out of the cupboard and young Marc discovered how to vanish a coin. He amazed his mum, then his school friends, with this little miracle and hasn't looked back since!

Marc developed a strong fascination in the art of mentalism inspired mainly by his hero David Berglas.

Since the early 90's Marc has made regular appearances on television. They include...

Top of the Pops (BBC1)
Equinox - Secrets of the Psychics (Channel 4)
Paul McKenna's Paranormal World (ITV1)
Mysteries (BBC1)
Stuff the White Rabbit (BBC2) – Hands only!
Secrets (BBC1)
Trick on Two (BBC2)

In 1999 he got the opportunity to create and perform in his own 16 episode series for cable TV called "Mind Games." This show was seen by the judging panel for the World Magic Awards in Las Vegas and as a result Marc won the title of "World's Greatest Mentalist" for that year.

On Christmas Eve 2002 he appeared on the BBC's Parkinson show and amazed Michael and his guests Tom Jones, Martine McCutcheon and Alistair McGowan.

You can currently see him every week on Sky One as part of the "Undercover Magic" team.
We are very excited to have him with us at the conference
