Trade Show Magician
Since the age of five, Matt developed a keen interest in the art of magic. At the young age of ten he was performing across his local area, and by the age of fourteen he held two regular residencies, one at a local restaurant and the other at a hotel performing every Saturday. By the age of sixteen, Matt had won many awards for his talent from his magician peers and at various talent competitions; he was also the youngest ever member admitted the following Magic Circles, Southport Magic Circle, the Merseyside Junior Magic Circle and the Liverpool Magic Circle. By the age of eighteen he had TV appearances under his belt..
After finishing education he left England to work at the House of Illusion in Spain. During his years here (June-Oct 05, April - Oct 08 and April - Sep 09) he has worked as various capacities as a compare, comedy magician, mind reader, bar/table/close up magician, consultant and manager. The House of Illusion has been voted number one night out over all the Costa's across Spain for the past seven years. Between these years he’s also kept a busy performing schedule.
In 2007 Matt helped to create England’s only Magic Bar - Illusions Magic Bar in Bristol, as the Head Magician and main performer. Illusions raised the bar for entertainment and night life standards in Bristol - It’s now one of the most talked about, and successful bars in the country. Recently it was crowned Entertainment Pub of the Year.
Matt Colman performed for Illusions Magic Bar back in 2007 and was one of our first magicians. This is to thank you for your time you spent at Illusions Magic Bar back in 2007, the opening night was of great success. Myself and Sylvie would like to wish you all the success for the future as we can see that your skills as a magician are very good. A talent for the future.
In 2008 he toured across the beautiful country of Ireland, with fellow Magician & Mind Reader Peter Carroll, which was followed by the Irish Star after correctly predicting the newspaper headlines in 2007. Also in 2008, Matt returned to the House of Illusion as it was moving to a brand new venue due to the overwhelming public demand for tickets.
"Matt was a great help at the start of this new project and contributed many ideas as well as being a fantastic performer."
Matt has racked up more performing hours than most magicians ever will in their lifetime. Matt is young, fresh, dynamic and has bags of talent and expierience. He is a welcome guest to any type of event.
At this moment in time Matt is becoming booked up for 2011, and is already taking booking for 2012/2013 (and beyond!)

Matt is also creating more original magic for the magic community with his longed anticipated book and one-off effects. He’s also consulting on various magic, media and stage projects including writing and performing in a new online based tv show.
