Ian has been contributing the the Halifax Magic Club for over 25 years. He links our small community to the wider world of magic because he is a professional performing at the international level. But despite all his very real street cred he is a humble, knowledgeable artistic goofball happy to sit with magicians of every stripe and share what he knows and learn from everyone.
