Dan Bastianelli
Dan has loved magic since as early as he can remember, and began performing professionally at the age of 14.

Magic took Dan from being a shy and reserved child to having the confidence to share my passion with literally thousands of new and interesting people over the years.

Some highlights of his career so far have been; appearing on TV talk shows, featuring at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and being invited to perform in some of the most amazing wedding venues all over Scotland.

Sean Harrington
Sat at home one day as a bored 7 year old with too much free time, Sean was captivated by a basic magic trick shown on a children’s TV show. With nothing better to do, he mastered this trick and took it to school the next day.

Little did he know, one performance would be enough to start him down a long and slippery slope taking him deeper and deeper into an ancient art form. All these years later, Sean has only scraped the surface of the iceberg but his unquenchable thirst for knowledge only drives him deeper down the rabbit hole...
