James Phelan - The Greatest Magician

'He barely skips a beat, one to watch in the world of magic' - The List Magazine ' Huge laughs, stunning tricks, with the right level of pzaz' - Voice Magazine 'Stage presence by the bucket load' - One 4 Review There's a moment you will remember for the rest of your life - Chortle Magazine James Phelan, the magician now most infamous for jamming the BBC switchboard after he correctly predicted the lottery - after tweeting the results the day before, fronts the new 5 star and sell out smash The Greatest Magician. Having been described in the press as 'the most anticipated magician in a generation', he's gradually proven them right - with two sold out tours and one sold out Fringe under his belt already. James Phelan is The Greatest Magician - which is booking now.
