Jamie's story
From a crèche magic show to The Magic Circle
The start
A crèche magic show
A magician at his crèche got him hooked. A Stephen Mulhern magic set and a magic shop in the USA did the rest.
D.I.T.
First-class honours
His degree in Marketing and Business taught him consumer psychology. That shapes his mind reading today.
Ireland's Got Talent
Four yeses
The first magician on the show to get four yeses. His audition has millions of views online.
The Magic Circle
AIMC with Silver Star
Admitted to The Magic Circle in the UK, then given the AIMC with Silver Star.
