‘’A vampire! If he walks in glistening like Edward Cullen, then I’ll be impressed.’’

You should be impressed. This is geared up to be THE STAND OUT LECTURE OF 2027! It will be packed full of stories and tips and tricks on mentalism.

Dee is the co-founder of the 1914 as is of the resident magicians at The Magicians Table in London

Dee’s website describes him as:

Drenched in darkness and dripping with charisma, Dee Christopher is an internationally acclaimed vampire mentalist who blurs the line between illusion and the occult.

Winner: "Best Cabaret Show" at the Edinburgh Fringe Horror Awards 2024.

Seen on BBC Three’s Killer Magic and as a “Fear Expert” on Dr Michael Moseley’s Meet The Humans, Dee has captivated millions worldwide with his unnerving blend of psychology, mysticism, and theatrical macabre.

His performances are not simply shows but immersive, supernatural experiences — part séance, part rock concert — that seduce, shock, and linger in the mind. With a cult following across the globe, Dee embodies the gothic glamour of modern magic with sinister precision.

With bases in London and Los Angeles;The Psychic Vampire brings high impact entertainment that looks like a mind-reading show, but feels like a horror movie.

From performing on the Las Vegas strip to appearing as a core cast member in London’s most popular full time magic show, The Magician’s Table, Dee is one of the most in-demand alternative entertainers on the circuit today.

‘’Lord!? The only Lord I want to hear about is The Lord of the Rings, so unless this guy is Gandalf, I don’t want to hear about it’’

So, why on earth have we booked this guy?

Well, probably because Lord Harri’s lecture at Blackpool Magic Convention in 2026 is widely regarded by magicians as one of THE BEST lectures that year!

And if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, I don’t know what will.

From his website, Lord Harri is described as:

A modern magician who specialises in the impossible! This isn't just your "Pick a Card". Making the Impossible happen. All magician's say it but no one does it. He can manipulate the Elements, incase your borrowed object's in Ice, turn Cold Drinks into hot liquids and transform objects into glass, however, Harri isn't just a good Magician, He is a people's person. The most positive feedback other than these incredible Magic Feats are "He is such a Charmer".

Cheeky, Witty, Humorous and Fun are what make his performances interactive and memorable!

This could be easily go down as our best lectures of 2027!

‘’Juggling, it’s just juggling with cards! It’s not cardistry, it’s nonsense’’

Cardistry - The performance art of card flourishing. Ergo, not nonsense.

Ashleigh is an extremely talented magician based here in Manchester! She specialises in card magic and performs highly technical sleights and routines.

Simply put, Ashleigh is phenomenal. She has built a massive social media following too, with over 106,000 followers on Instagram.

Check out her instagram. You’ll be blown away 🤯 Then you can come along and learn how some of these incredible slights are performed.
