Unfortunately, Jamie has been made an offer he can not turn down in America. I don't understand why anyone would prefer America over York!!!

Luckily, Michael Davis, aka Michael Warlock, who is behind the British Secret Service brand, is available to step in.

We look forward to seeing you all on Monday.

"An Associate of the Inner Magic Circle (AIMC) at the prestigious The Magic Circle and recipient of WOW Magazine Magician of the Year, Jamie has established himself as one of the most exciting creative forces in contemporary magic.

Described by Craig Petty as “One of magic’s greatest creators,” Jamie’s work is performed by professionals around the globe. He is the mind behind a string of modern classics including Celebrikey, Star Draws, Movie Quiz, and the Penguin Magic Trick of the Year Sticker Kicker — effects known for combining commercial impact with devastating method.

His most recent release, 2Face — a powerhouse collaboration with David Jonathan — created a sensation when it debuted at the Blackpool Magic Convention, with many calling it “the best magic release of the last decade.”

Jamie’s performances have been featured on Capital Radio and BBC Wales, and he has astonished some of the world’s most recognised celebrities with his signature blend of impossible visuals and razor-sharp thinking.

As a lecturer, Jamie has shared his material both in the UK and internationally, including appearances at The Magic Circle and a standout lecture at the Blackpool Magic Convention that many attendees named “the hit lecture of the weekend.”

Expect a lecture packed with real-world, battle-tested close-up magic — routines that have been honed in professional performance environments, refined through live audiences, and built for maximum impact. No pipe dreams. No theory overload. Just commercial magic, powerful thinking, and practical routines you’ll actually perform.

If you care about strong reactions, smart methods, and material that works in the real world — this is a lecture you cannot afford to miss"
