Early life

Ryan was born on the 29th May 1991 at Wexham Park Hospital in Slough, Berkshire. Ryan first was inspired to do magic when in 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

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 lead 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]
