SACHA MAGIC PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN SACHA JOHNSTONE, 25, from Ilford, studied philosophy at the University of Birmingham before moving into entertainment after graduation. Having landed his first gig aged just 13, Johnstone has more than a decade of experience performing at private parties, fundraising dinners and corporate events up and down the UK, as well as further afield. Johnstone says his enthusiasm for magic tricks “never stopped growing” after he received a magic set from his parents on his second birthday. At 15, he began demonstrating and selling magic tricks in
Hamleys Toy store in the heart of London’s West End, before eventually going on to manage an entire team of magicians based in locations around London. Johnstone has performed in New York, Hong Kong, Dubai, Prague, Mumbai and Jerusalem to name just a handful of exciting locations. www.sachamagic.co.uk
