Direct from critically acclaimed seasons in Singapore, Dubai and Beirut, Ben Hart makes his long-awaited return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year.
West End Star and Edinburgh Cabaret Award nominee Ben is a unique artist, teller of tall tales, mad inventor and sleight-of-hand master. His performances are a dark, beautiful, baffling and wickedly funny treasure trove of impossible mysteries, visual alchemy, outrageous lies and brutal honesty. Magic shows just aren’t supposed to be this… real.
At the age of 16, Ben won the Magic Circle’s Young Magician of the Year. A mere ten years later he is now a “Member of The Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star” and lives in London where he performs, writes and invents magic. Ben’s role as magic designer has seen him create special effects and impossible illusions for theatre, film and television.
His solo shows have been favourites of audiences and critics alike since his debut show The Outsider was nominated for the Time Out TO&ST Cabaret Award at the Fringe in 2013. Ben’s critically acclaimed 2014 show, The Vanishing Boy, was a total sell-out, confirming him as one of the UK’s foremost talents.
He has starred in the hit west-end and international touring magic show Impossible for two seasons and appears at this year’s Fringe direct from a critically acclaimed season in Singapore.
Ben starred in Life Hacks Hoax and was a star of Killer Magic (both BBC3). He can also be seen regularly on the hit show Now You See It and has appeared The One Show (both BBC1).
Ben has performed his astonishing close-up magic for celebrities, royalty and heads of state at just about every kind of event imaginable.
