The Magic Mod

The Magic Mod at The Peacock Sunderland!

THE MAGIC MOD – aka Ben Taylor – is a card magician of huge esteem who can proudly count himself
as a member of the exclusive Magic Circle fraternity. Born in Crawley in South London, he now lives in
Belfast and has previously supported The Libertines, Paul Weller and The Brian Jonestown Massacre on
tour, all people he can call friends along with the likes of Liam Gallagher, Shaun Ryder and Rick Witter.
Ben has appeared on Sky Sports’ Soccer AM, considers journalist and broadcaster Eamonn Holmes as a
friend and fan (“I’ve met David Blaine and Dynamo but, for me, what you did was the best I’ve ever seen”)
as well as former Fulham and West Ham United footballer Tony Gayle (He’s good, the boy’s good, but
can he head a ball?) and even appears on the Paul Weller album On Sunset.
His act astonishes and perplexes the minds of all that witness it and is wrapped in warmth and humour.
Which is why people endlessly return to see him perform and why his audiences are growing with every
tour, as evidenced by the current sold-out run throughout the UK.
