About James
James Brown has spent the past 20 years perfecting his skills as a world class magician, pick pocket and hypnotist.
A unique blend of sensory deception, sleight of hand and con artistry soon made James one of the most sought after performers for both close up and cabaret in the UK. In recognition, the world famous Magic Circle awarded him the title of The Best Close Up Magician in the UK, a trophy he is quietly very proud of.
His work life is divided between consulting, performing and corporate training and he spends whatever is left with his beautiful wife Jo and his two sons Ben and Charlie by the sea in the south of England.
James offers breath taking close up and cabaret entertainment – This is magic at it’s very best!
“Even when James is improvising he is still 100% better than most of us offering our best work” Ian Rowland (Author of the Full Facts of Cold Reading)
2012 dates have just been released for James’ POWA Pick Pocket Seminar

He has also finished writing the eagerly awaited book, The Professional Opportunist, containing his approach to performance. You can keep up to date with James by subscribing to his blog and joining him on Facebook and Twitter.
