Mark James Presents WONDERS: A magic show in three unique acts. Mark takes you through the history of mystery with amazing sleight of hand magic, storytelling and comedy. The show combines incredible visuals, a dancing brain and even a tour through the world of the old American sideshows.
Wonders is a 45-60 minute show. It is highly produced and best with video support and large screens. Perfect for most venues and audiences of any size.
Mark James Presents THE VANISHING ELEPHANT: A sleight of hand magic show built for the stage. Mark rewrites the meaning of impossible with the incredible magic that earned him his place in the world renowned Magic Circle. Travel back to the days of vaudeville with amazing cigar box juggling and a genuine vanishing elephant... (kinda).
The Vanishing Elephant is a 45-60 minute show. It is perfect for any venue but benefits from audiences of 500 people or less.

PREVIOUS WORK
THE MAGIC CASTLE, HOLLYWOOD 2016 - 2025
I first travelled to perform shows in the USA in 2016. It remains my favourite place in the whole world. I love to perform there but also just love to be there in general. The Magic Castle is truly a special place for many reasons. I have been thrilled to be invited back there every single year since the first time almost a decade ago. If you’d like to see a full performance live from The Magic Castle, check it out on my youtube or website homepage.
CROMER PIER XMAS SHOW 2018 & 2019
For xmas 2018/19 AND xmas 2019/20 I was lucky enough to be booked back to back in the Cromer Pier Theatre Christmas Show. It’s the longest running show of its type in the whole world. I performed two shows per day alongside host Olly Day and a wonderful cast of singers and dancers. I also wrote many of the jokes and sketches that were performed as part of the show.
SIDESHOW TRICKS 2016 - 2018
My first ‘full evening’ show consisting of two complete halves. The first was a stand up comedy magic show with sleight of hand, comedy and magic. The second half was a recreation of the ‘ten in one’ sideshow tents in which I would play the part of everyone from fire eaters and sword swallowers to mind readers and escapologists. The show was resident at VIVA in Blackpool for two full seasons and went on a short tour of UK theatres.
