A magician and professional children’s entertainer based in Ealing has been selected to represent Team GB at the upcoming FISM World Championships of Magic.
Sam Hurst was picked by The Magic Circle to compete in what are often referred to as the Magic Olympics.
Taking part in this prestigious competition is regarded as the highest achievement in the world of magic. Sam will be competing in the Street Magic Finals, alongside magicians from across the globe in Turin, Italy this July.
He has had a long-standing career entertaining children and families and was awarded UK Family Entertainer of the Year in 2019. He has worked with high-profile individuals such as Jack Black, Kelly Jones of Stereophonics, Megan Fox, and Machine Gun Kelly.
