Oliver is a full time stage and close-up magician, specialising in visual stage magic and regularly performs his stage/cabaret acts in theatre shows and cabaret venues around the UK and in London including the Hippodrome Casino. His London show, West End Magic, is celebrating 10 years at the Leicester Square Theatre next year and is embarking on a UK theatre tour. He is the recent president of the International Brotherhood of Magicians British Ring.

During his lecture he offers effects, routines and ideas for close-up, mentalism, stage and children’s magic. He’ll explain his process and inspiration behind a bubble act, which includes magic and basic manipulation with bubbles, balls, and a bottle appearance. He also covers his thoughts on stage magic with an introduction into how the techniques, psychology and rules followed by stage manipulators can easily be applied to all performance situations: from cabaret to close-up and from parlour to children’s shows plus he explains the thoughts and workings of a dove steal and how this method can be easily adapted to produce a range of different objects.
