Ben Hanlin

Ben Hanlin has established himself as one of the UK’s most versatile magicians, with a career spanning over two decades. After building a significant following through digital content, he transitioned into mainstream television, hosting the acclaimed prank show Tricked on ITV2, which earned the title of Best Entertainment Show at the Broadcast Digital Awards. His television portfolio is extensive, including appearances on CBBC, Discovery Channel’s Breaking Magic, and a successful run on the twelfth series of Dancing on Ice, where he reached the semi-finals. Beyond his television success, Ben is a seasoned live performer who has graced the stage in the West End production of The Illusionists and performed on ITV’s Live at The Palladium. His original solo shows have consistently earned five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Adapting seamlessly to the digital age, he now commands a global social media audience of millions and applies his entrepreneurial skills as the co-founder of a Birmingham-based digital marketing agency. Today, Ben brings a unique blend of sophisticated close-up magic and high-impact stage illusions to corporate events. He is highly sought after by organisers for his infectious energy and his ability to engage diverse audiences with a professional, charismatic delivery style that bridges the gap between traditional magic and modern entertainment.
