Richard Jones
from Desert Island Tricks Hosted by Alakazam Magic
Britain’s Got Talent winner and “Military Mind Reader” Richard Jones joins us on Desert Island Tricks to reveal the eight pieces of magic he simply couldn’t live without. With a career spanning close-up magic, major corporate events, sold-out theatre tours and 12 years in the British Army, Richard brings a fascinating perspective to his choices. His list moves from powerful mentalism and visual close-up magic to levitation, comedy, money magic and cutting-edge technology, with plenty of stories from his years performing professionally along the way. Richard also shares his thoughts on what separates a good trick from a memorable performance, why magicians shouldn’t always take the easiest option, the importance of rehearsal and preparation, and what learning the piano has taught him about mastering the craft of magic. It’s an eclectic, practical and refreshingly personal Desert Island list from one of the UK’s best-known magicians.
