Nigel Mead - Biography
In 2003, he was approached
by The Discovery Network
to create and perform
a show for their Kids
Channel. The result 'Get Tricky' proved
to be a great success
and continues to be
aired to this day.
It also led to Nigel
presenting The Discovery
Channel's Nationwide
Roadshow.
In 2005, Nigel featured
as the main mentor
in a 90-minute special
of multi award-winning
show,
'Faking It'. The challenge
was to transform a
Scottish forensic scientist,
who'd never appeared
in
front of a crowd, into
a competent and confident
stage magician.
2006 saw Nigel in
a brand new series
for Channel 4's youth
strand, T4. 'Freaky'
is contemporary
street magic performed
on unsuspecting members
of the public and shows
us some of Nigel's
most
imaginative work to
date.
TV Credits for 2007
include 'Cre-8' a successful
brand new production
for the Discovery Network
and appearances on ITV's
coverage of The Champions
League Football.
Currently in 2008 Nigel
is working as consultant
on the Channel 4 production
of the multi-award
winning drama Skins,
as well as producing
and starring in a teen
magic show for the
Middle Eastern
market to be broadcast
in 2009.
As well as his TV work, Nigel remains as passionate about live performance as ever and can be seen at events all around the world.
Live Magic
Nigel's work shows how traditional
magic benefits from
his artistic and nonconformist
approach. With
thousands of hours
of live performance
experience gained in
both the corporate
and private sectors,
he is absolutely comfortable
no matter how unscripted
or spontaneous a situation.
His wit and warmth
make the impossibility
of his magic all the
more compelling and
he is as far
removed from the patronising
stereotype as anyone
could be. People are
able to watch inches
away
from the action and
yet remain captivated
and confounded.
