Kevin McMahon was a PhD physics student when he applied to be fake magician on a TV show.
Kevin says fooling Paul Daniels was the "victory" point of Faking It."I was jumping about with an expensive suit on, paid for by the production company, throwing champagne around.""I was woefully underprepared and they saw right through it," Kevin says."They made me realise that you have to really get excited about the magic you're presenting or the audience will see through you right away.
Since then, he has toured the world, staged regular shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and got to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent."The production company had been chasing me for years to do it but I'd always resisted," Kevin says. "Magicians hadn't really come across well on the series." "Maybe because I got into magic a bit later, I didn't come in as someone who had been hoarding magic since they were 11," he says.
Five teenagers are being mentored by professionals - one of them, Dan Bastianelli - started his career in a festival workshop, on the Future Magicians programme.
