Since an early age Luke has specialised in the most difficult yet accessible field of magic: close up.

Using only 52 playing cards, a few coins, his 2 hands and 13 years of training, he can create miracles right beneath his audiences noses.

His early obsession lead him to be accepted into his local Magic Circle at the age of 14 (normal requirements being that the applicant is at least 16 years old), and he proved himself worthy of the exception 4 years later when he won the title of English Close-Up Magician Championship..

A major interest in playing cards and the murky world of gambling led him to start training as a Casino Dealer, but unfortunately he was asked to leave after his first day of training.

Apparently the way he could pull aces from a shuffled deck of cards, or consistently deal himself a Royal Flush, disturbed the management too much.
