ABOUT LUKE
_edited.jpg)
Perhaps what gave Luke his showmanship and love for performing magic is his background in acting, which he has loved for years before he even knew what magic was. After watching Dick Van Dyke in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Luke fell in love with the physicality and emotion of acting! He has since played many, many characters, including Hamlet in 'Hamlet', and perhaps most notably, Professor Callahan in 'Legally Blonde'.
Luke first discovered magic when he was seven years old, after being gifted a beginner's magic set by his neighbours for his birthday. He soon became obsessed and was very soon asking his parents to draw a fake moustache onto his face and tie a cape around his neck. Wand-in-hand and top-hat-on-head, the snowball started rolling and he wanted to astound everyone, all the time! Luke is also a member of the world's most prestigious magic society, 'The Magic Circle', of which there are only around 1700 members worldwide. Membership of The Magic Circle gives him an even bigger plethora of expertise to gain the knowledge and skill within magic.
BACKGROUND IN ACTING
When Luke was 14, he was privileged to appear as an extra in an episode of 'Not Going Out' (broadcasted on BBC1 and currently on iPlayer), where he met Lee Mack and Hugh Dennis. Being an extra was an ambition Luke had had for years, and he has since worked as an extra on various Netflix and TV shows such as 'Sex Education', 'The Crown', 'One Day', 'Big Boys' and 'Malice', among others!
Luke has no intention to stop working as an extra.

LIFE AND EDUCATION
Luke was born and grew up in the South East of England and lived right in the middle of the countryside for the whole of his childhood. As an only child, he quickly learnt to enjoy his own company and therefore spent a lot of time alone, practicing things such as magic.
In 2022, Luke went to university for the first time, which he was terrified to do, but soon began to really enjoy it! He is well on his way to achieving a degree in economics.
PASSION FOR POLITICS
Since the age of 15, Luke has had an enormous passion for politics, which has blossomed into a desire of his to run as an MP one day, to do his bit at changing the country for the better.
He has been campaigning with his local MP, and was offered a job by her, as a Parliamentary Assistant.
In 2024, Luke was invited to Parliament, where he met David Cameron, along with many other famous politicians.
Luke is also writing a children's book about politics which he is trying to get published.
Luke enjoys music and going to concerts. Some of his favourite artists are Take That, Robbie Williams, Coldplay; and various musical theatre songs from musicals like Les Misérables and Wicked.
He also is an adrenaline junkie who loves heights! He loves paragliding and wants to do a skydive soon!
In the little spare time he has, he enjoys reading non-fiction books centred around politics, or the art of magic, or watching a good film; of which his favourite is Titanic.
