“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Starting off in Magic
Graeme started doing magic at the early age of 9 when he received a Paul Daniels magic kit for Christmas from his parents. He would perform shows for his brothers and sisters birthday parties and at the old folks home where his mum used to work. Graeme, along with another school friend would perform magic tricks at school trying to out magic each other!
Graeme had always had a keen interest in drama and stage performances at school and when he turned 14 he joined the junior section of the Northern Magic Circle. Being helped along by Cynthia Neptune, Graeme would attend the annual Easter parade each year (the Northern Magic Circle`s annual convention) performing in the junior show.
Graeme was a keen customer at Magicbox from the age of 14 and started working there on a Saturday for Clive & Carole Richardson when he was just 15. Graeme’s main interests were always in stage magic and illusions, however, this slowly changed to be more close up and children’s magic over the years.
The BEST MAGICIAN in the North East.
Northern Magician
He then joined the Newcastle Upon Tyne Magic Circle in 1996 when he was 16 and since then has won more magic awards in the Newcastle Magic Circle than any other member. He is often referred to by his peers as one of the best magicians in the UK.
Graeme was made the youngest ever President of The Newcastle Magic Circle in April 2009 and was made a partner at Magicbox in 2003 and now owns the company. Over the years has become by far the best magician in the North East and beyond.
When not at Magicbox you can find Graeme performing close up magic all over the North East at various events. Although Graeme does not do too many children’s shows any more he does enjoy performing at family events and at holiday parks. Although Graeme does more close up magic at weddings and private events than anything else, his passion is still stage magic and illusions. He is a huge David Copperfield fan!
