Stephen Mulhern’s Family Legacy: A Journey of Magic and Expression
Stephen Mulhern, a familiar face on ITV, embarks on an emotional journey today with the release of his new magic book, “Unbelievable! The Secrets Of Magic Revealed.” This launch holds deep significance, as it is a tribute to his late father, Christopher, who passed away last November. Christopher was instrumental in nurturing Stephen’s passion for magic from a young age.
The family heritage of magic began around the kitchen table, where Christopher, a Petticoat Lane market trader, entertained Stephen and his siblings with mesmerizing sleight-of-hand tricks. These magical moments ignited a passion in Stephen that led him to a successful career as a magician and TV presenter.
The Emotional Tribute at the Royal Variety Show
Despite the grief and challenges following his father’s passing, Stephen honored his memory at the Royal Variety Show by dedicating his performance to him. His act captivated the audience, which included King Charles, as he skillfully restored a torn newspaper and invited host Alan Carr to join him on stage.
Magic as a Tool for Building Confidence in Children
Stephen emphasizes the transformative power of magic, particularly for children facing the challenges of today’s digital age. He highlights how mastering magic can instill confidence and offer a unique skill set that distinguishes children from their peers. Stephen relates his own experiences, recalling how magic helped him overcome childhood anxieties and express himself.
Early Beginnings and Overcoming Challenges
Stephen’s path to magic was not without its hurdles. He openly shares his struggles with academics, having skipped collecting his GCSE results at 16 to pursue a career in magic. He subsequently worked as a resident magician at esteemed establishments like Hamleys and Harrods.
His dedication to magic saw him suspended from the Magic Circle over a controversial reveal on the TV show “Finger Tips.” Despite this setback, Stephen’s new book aims to inspire future generations of magicians by revealing tricks using everyday household items.
Collaborations and Future Adventures
Throughout his career, Stephen has become a staple on numerous television shows, including “Deal Or No Deal,” “Dancing On Ice,” and “Britain’s Got More Talent.” His upcoming TV special, “The Accidental Tourist,” filmed shortly after his father’s death, pushes him out of his comfort zone with challenges that include trying diverse cuisines.
A Inspirational New Book for Aspiring Magicians
Stephen’s new book contains 30 simple magic tricks, designed to be accessible and engaging for readers of all ages. He fondly recalls lessons from his idol, magician Paul Daniels, and hopes to inspire the next generation of entertainers. “Unbelievable! The Secrets Of Magic Revealed” is now available, published by Piccadilly Press, inviting new magicians to explore the art of magic using everyday objects such as plastic bands and playing cards.
