Growing up, I had many nicknames - Nutsy, Fish and Mr Happy. I was a quiet, calm and easy-going kid who stayed out of trouble and got on with everyone. But life wasn’t always easy. As I prepared for my high school exams, I witnessed a tragic decline in my mother’s health. Depression and alcohol dependency eventually took her life and I was left with a lot of questions:

Why could no one help her?
Why do some people experience depression?
What do we do about the complex problems people face?

I found a book on her bookshelf titled The Power Of Positive Thinking which led me down the path of psychology and therapy. How do therapists “fix” people’s problems? After successfully completing my high school exams with surprisingly good grades, I was faced with 3 months of summer holidays with nothing to do except flick endlessly through YouTube videos. Among them I witnessed an incredible card trick which blew my mind. I immediately learnt how to do it and successfully created the same reaction from my dad. The moment I was able to tell him which object on the table he was merely thinking of was the

moment I knew I was going to pursue magic and psychology as my career. Since then I have performed stage shows around the world for hundreds of audiences. I have brought a touch of magic to the most special day of a person’s life, their wedding day, and made memories that will last a lifetime. I have brought people together in fun, interesting and sometimes strange ways, instilling inspiration, creativity and connection in their hearts and minds. In 2014 I trained in professional hypnotherapy at the Jacquin Hypnosis Academy and have since been helping people to overcome challenges and fears to live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life.
