We are pleased to welcome Graham Hey to The Order of the Magi in Manchester for an entertaining and insightful lecture on comedy magic and mentalism.Grahams background is firmly rooted in comedy. During the 1990s, he worked as a writer for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, contributing to shows featuring well known names such as Russ Abbott, Hale and Pace, and Griff Rhys Jones. Encouraged to try stand up himself, he began incorporating magic into his act, creating a distinctive blend of comedy and magical performance that has served him throughout his career.
He later became co owner of magicseen magazine, helping to shape one of the UKs most recognised magic publications over a 20 year period. Alongside this, he performed his comedy mentalism on major cruise lines including Princess and Celebrity, refining material that is both practical and highly entertaining.Grahams creations have been used by a wide range of professional performers, including Mike McClean, Chris Dugdale, Chris Cox, Rafael Benatar, Sean Alexander, and Mel Mellers, among many others. His material is known for its strong visual impact, commercial appeal, and straightforward handling.This lecture will feature a range of visual gags, close up and stand up magic, along with Grahams trademark funmentalism. Expect practical ideas, workable routines, and plenty of thinking that can be applied directly to real world performance.
