Expressions can be priceless. Simon’s is just that. Watch as Jamie Raven performs Dan Harlan’s Card Toon trick with the Card Toon Deck.

After a host of bad, sad and tragic magical acts Jamie Raven came onto the Britain’s Got Talent stage to try to change Simon Cowell’s attitude towards the genre.

He first managed to actually impress the judges with an incredible note changing trick – switching a £50 note into a special BGT one.

Following that, his next trick left Simon so astounded that he declared, ‘I now actually believe in magic.’ Watch the video at:

Dan White does a magic trick that goes something like this: he asks a member of the audience to come to the stage, and hands them his wallet. Then six other people guess a number between 1 and 60 and shout it out. White writes the numbers on a big, green classroom chalkboard.

The Magician is a small, 72-seat magic show in the NoMad Hotel. The aesthetic of the show is exactly what you’d expect from the NoMad: decadent cocktails, seductive lighting, a vintage vibe from old magician posters on the walls, and attentive but not intrusive service. Read more at:
