EXCLUSIVE
Sean Alexander Interview
22/01/2012
What can we expect
from your new show at Pleasurewood Hills?
"It will be a high impact, fast moving grand illusion show that has never
been seen in the region before. Featuring stunning illusions that will
hopefully leave everyone amazed. We are all very excited about the project
and hope that our guests will be too!"
How did you
originally get into the world of magic?
"I first got
bitten by the magic bug at the age of 8 when I received my first magic set
for Christmas. I went through my childhood and teenage years playing
around with magic as a hobby, however it wasn't until I left college after
doing Business & Finance that I got my first taste of showbiz.
This was
in the form of a "Coat" entertainer on the South Coast and here I
met my mentor who was my entertainment manager who happened to be
a retired illusionist & magician! He rekindled my childhood love
of magic and put me on the road to becoming a professional
magician & illusionist. The rest as they say is history!"
Can you tell
us about your appearance on Britains Got Talent?
"I
appeared with my wife in 2008 and Piers Morgan said he thought we
were one of the best magic acts he had seen. We got to meet some
wonderful people, including of course Ant and Dec and Mr Magic
himself Stephen Mulhern who became a friend."
What effect
did your appearance have on your career?
"It has served well and of course is a good selling point,
especially with a quote like that from Piers."
Has your
magic taken you around the world?
"Yes! I have been
very fortunate to have travelled the globe with my magic and
have visited some wonderful places. Actually, I am currently in
Brazil having flown into Rio De Janeiro, spending my first night
at a hotel on Copacabana Beach. I have travelled to all sorts of
places both on land and on luxury cruise ships. Dubai would
probably be my favourite place. I have performed there 3 times
now and it is an amazing place. Some of the locals believe that
the magic is something supernatural or to do with witchcraft
which always makes me smile! Other places include, Asia, South
America, Lapland, most of Europe to name but a few."
