About Ken

KEN BECAME INTERESTED IN MAGIC IN 1982 BUT A SHORTAGE OF SPECIALIST MAGIC SHOPS MEANT THAT NEW TRICKS WERE DIFFICULT TO FIND. SOON, KEN BEGAN PRODUCING HIS OWN TRICKS, BESIDES UNIQUE VARIATIONS ON POPULAR ILLUSIONS, WITH THE RESULT THAT HIS CLOSE-UP MAGIC ACT BECAME EXTREMELY POPULAR. EVER WILLING TO HELP OTHER MAGICIANS, KEN OPENED HIS FIRST MAGIC SHOP IN 1989 – THE YEAR HE BECAME A PROFESSIONAL ENTERTAINER. HE EXCELLED AS A TEACHER OF MAGIC; IN THE 1990’S, HE COACHED ONE STUDENT TO THE PRESTIGIOUS TITLE OF CLOSE-UP MAGIC CHAMPION OF THE JUNIOR MAGIC CLUB OF GREAT BRITAIN, THEN WHEN KEN RE-LOCATED FOR A TIME TO AZERBAIJAN, HE COACHED A MAGICIAN TO THE SEMI-FINALS OF A TV TALENT SHOW ON LEIDER TV (AT THE SAME TIME, KEN HIMSELF HAD A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL TELEVISED MAGIC SHOW ON A EUROPEAN BREAKFAST PROGRAM!) ON RETURNING TO ENGLAND, KEN CONTINUED WITH HIS CLOSE-UP CABARET ACT, AND OPENED “IT’S MAGIC” A SPECIALIST MAGIC SHOP IN HOULDSWORTH MILL, REDDISH. RECENTLY THE SHOP HAS CLOSED AS KEN HAS RETIRED FROM THE SHOP. KEN IS BUSY AS A MAGICAL ENTERTAINER BUT HAS SOME DATES FREE, CONTACT KEN NOW FOR DETAILS IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A MAGICIAN TO ENTERTAIN YOU.
