Ben Taylor is The Magic Mod. He is “rock ‘n’ roll’s favourite magician,” something to which previous support slots with The Libertines, Paul Weller and The Brian Jonestown Massacre on tour will firmly attest. Born in Crawley, South London and now living in Belfast, Taylor is a highly revered card magician and entertainer who is a member of the exclusive Magic Circle, the world’s most famous Magic Society.
Reflecting on his journey into performing magic, Ben Taylor says:
“I first got into the art of magic at the age of six when my Mum and Dad bought me a Paul Daniels magic set and I tried to learn at least one new trick every day. I became a professional magician when I turned 20 and was doing card tricks that I never knew I would be capable of. I practise up to four or five hours a day, sometimes more if I’m really in a rush to learn a new trick.”
The Magic Mod’s act has been described as one that “astonishes, perplexes and entertains all those who witness it and is a performance wrapped in warmth and humour.”
