Lee Hathaway Lecture

Lee Hathaway is one of the UK’s leading close-up and cabaret magicians, with more than 20 years of professional performance experience. A Gold Star Member of The Inner Magic Circle, he successfully fooled Penn & Teller on ITV’s Fool Us and subsequently appeared in their Las Vegas show.

He has also served as Chairman of The Magic Circle Council and Vice President of The Magic Circle, alongside a career that has taken him to thousands of corporate and private events around the world.

What to Expect:

• A fast-paced selection of commercial workers from Lee’s professional repertoire.

• Some strong stand-up routines.

• Material designed to fool magicians as well as lay audiences.

• An easy, practical watch steal.

• Clever ideas and presentational touches that can be applied to other routines.

• Tips, lines and bits of business accumulated through thousands of real-world performances.

Lee’s own biography describes a career encompassing close-up, cabaret, television and performances at exclusive events around the world. He has also lectured and performed at The Magic Circle on several occasions, so this is material coming from someone with extensive experience both entertaining the public and sharing ideas with fellow magicians.

This should be a particularly practical evening. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a full-time professional, expect material designed to be used, alongside the sort of small touches and hard-earned lessons that tend to come only from performing the same effects for real audiences again and again.

There should be something to make you smile, something to make you think — and, quite possibly, something you’ll find yourself trying the very next day.
