Ryan Hicks (born 29 May 1991), best known by his stage name Ryan Tricks, is an English mind reader and magician.[2] Ryan presents and stars in the BBC Three (online) series of Ryan Tricks On The Streets (aired November 2018) and Dirty Tricks produced by Vice Media on Channel 5 (first aired 23 January 2019).

Early life

[edit]

Ryan was born on 29 May 1991 at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, Berkshire. Ryan first was inspired to do magic when his mum (Julie) bought him a magic kit for Christmas when he was 8 years old.[3] At the age of 15, Ryan's mum passed away and he says that she is his main inspiration for his magic.

Career

[edit]

Ryan was first brought to the public's attention in 2013 with appearance on Britain's Got Talent where despite getting through to the next round with three 'yeses', he was then dropped before the live shows. Between 2013 and 2018 Ryan moves to the online platform of YouTube where he begins to make his own style of videos of giving back to the homeless and others in the community. This led to multiple videos then going viral including one where he turns pennies into pounds for a homeless man. This didn't go unnoticed as this is when BBC Three (online) commissioned a 6 part mini series where Ryan gives back to the community using his magic.[4][5]
