Russ was intrigued and captivated by magic from a young age. His first magic set, a Paul Daniels set, remains a prized possession. His family will tell you, they lost count of how many times they were asked to “pick a card”, “watch closely” or “say the magic word”!

His enthusiasm for magic never waned and from a young age he started to enter and win magic competitions and awards.

After studying Performing Arts and successfully graduating, he started to carve a career in the world of magic. First stop was the acclaimed Mystique show at Blackpool Pleasure Beach where Russ worked alongside Russ Stevens for several years. From here, he started to develop his own show featuring a unique blend of crazy gags and audience participation alongside some of his very own magic tricks. This lead to a 10 year residency at Blackpool Tower followed by his own show at Planet Rock, Blackpool Pleasure Beach. In recent years he returned to the Horseshoe Show-bar at the Pleasure Beach with his own Carnival of Magic show and most recently alongside Britain’s Got Talent finalist Steve Royle in the hit show, Comedy Chaos.

Russ has numerous TV appearances to his credit alongside a wealth of experience in the Corporate market. He also has his own entertainment consultancy which produces shows in Europe and the UK.

As Stage Manager for the annual Blackpool Magic Convention Russ has also had the pleasure of working with many of the Industry’s leading names including Lance Burton, Franz Harary, Uri Geller, Jeff McBride and Mac King, amongst others.

Continuing the House of Secrets brand in Blackpool is the realisation of Russ’s dream for a stand alone magic venue in his home town and he looks forward to you joining him for an evening unlike any other.
