Welcome to the official website of Magician Josh Luland from Oxfordshire.
My Story
From the age of just 8yrs old I was first inspired by my Grandmother when she would perform very simple magic tricks to me at the dinner table. This quickly began my obsession with magic and took me on a path of reading any book I could get my hands on to do with magic.
Around 10yrs old I got my first magic set for Christmas where I became utterly captivated with all the tricks inside, ranging from coin tricks, card tricks and the cups & balls. I would first perform these tricks on my 3 older brothers, my older sister, mum, dad and of course my Grandma.
As I got older I never let a deck of cards leave my side. Taking my cards to school, college, family parties and many other casual settings. I soon realised the potential I had after receiving tons of compliments and kind words about my magic tricks.
Around 2012 when I first discovered YouTube, I found myself immersed in the Magic world! Two of my greatest inspirations (to this day) are magicians David Blaine, and Dynamo. I would watch their videos for hours, mesmerised by the incredible tricks they were performing. This made me practise magic religiously, learning and adapting my routine constantly until I had a vast repertoire that I could show every person I had the opportunity to perform for.
Fast forward to 2017. I got my first paid gig, where I performed magic all evening for an 18th birthday party. The feedback I got was outstanding, with numerous bookings coming off the back of it, and many people asking for a business card.
This gave me the confidence to start getting video footage of myself performing magic and uploading it on to my Instagram and Facebook pages. This caused an instant influx of enquires for me, receiving tons of bookings from my videos and pictures. I spent the rest of that year performing at various events ranging from weddings, private parties, corporate events and many more.
I have grown and evolved over the years into the magician I am today. I have my own style, and I try not to be like any other magician out there. I always keep my routines fresh and exciting so that whoever I perform for will be left with an experience they will never forget. My aim is to bring happiness and joy to people’s faces wherever I go, whilst ensuring the magic I perform is unique and utterly mind blowing!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a bit better. I hope I get the opportunity to perform for you one day.
