In 2008 the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust awarded Ian a prestigious fellowship, which allowed him to travel to Las Vegas to learn from some of the best magicians in the world. He studied in a week-long masterclass with Jeff McBride and Eugene Burger, widely recognised as the leading magic teachers in the world, and was able to observe magic that you just can't find anywhere else. As part of the fellowship, Ian made a commitment to give something back to his local community, which he does regularly by offering free magic lessons to secondary school students in Bath.

What Mindwriter's clients say

"Thank you very much for your show on Sunday. I appreciate that my cynical family didn't make life easy for you and we are very grateful for your adaptability. I do know that we all enjoyed it and afterwards there were some animated discussions about the various 'magical' moments... My father will certainly have a birthday to remember and I would especially like to thank you for giving him the personalised magic square - it was a wonderful, thoughtful finishing touch." Rachael, Bath

"Just wanted to say thanks, it was a wonderful magical performance, enjoyed by all." Mark, Bath
