For me, magic isn't about tricks: it's about cre­at­ing moments. My time-trav­el­ler audi­tion on Got Tal­ent passed 100 mil­lion views on social media, but what ful­fils me most is what hap­pens a metre away from the audi­ence: the laughter, the amazed faces and, now and then, even a tear. That's the power of magic and men­tal­ism.

I impro­vise in every per­form­ance and adapt the humour to each audi­ence, so no two shows are alike. I've per­formed for play­ers from Manchester United at Juan Mata's birth­day, with David de Gea and Edurne among the guests, for foot­ballers from Real Sociedad and for well-known faces such as Car­los Latre, David Muñoz of Estopa, and Nacho Vidal.

I also cre­ate magic for other magi­cians: Portal (Murphy's Magic) and UNOrtho­dox (Alakazam Magic) are sold world­wide. Portal is the routine I per­formed on Fool Us, and UNOrtho­dox sold out in under three days at the Black­pool magic con­ven­tion and appeared in the first epis­ode of Magic for Humans on Net­flix, per­formed by Mago Pop.
