Escape Artist & Illusionist Matt Johnson is originally from the UK and now resides in Canada. Matt has been performing and perfecting his craft in the art of Magic and Escapology for more than 20 years.
Over the past 20 years he has literally traveled the globe. Matt has performed in exotic locations such as Japan, UK, Canada, Dubai, Italy, Argentina and Australia and for companies such as Norwegian Cruise Lines, Mercedes, Ford, AT&T, KIA, Toyota and Microsoft to name just a few.
Matt began his career in his hometown of Sheffield, England as a traditional magician and illusionist. On his travels around the world his knowledge in the arts grew and he picked up techniques and skills from the countries he visited and the people he met along the way. It’s this unique perspective that has allowed Matt to make his performances completely unique and utterly captivating.
Not your typical magician, instead Matt has crafted a style know as Urban Deception. A refreshingly cool mix of urban style street magic combined with the comedic timing and slick stage presence of a seasoned corporate performer.
His performances incorporate magic, escapes, sleight of hand, mind reading, the power of suggestion, razor sharp comedy timing and audience participation into a performance that has been hailed as “…Simply Brilliant!”
