John Archer Lecture

We are pleased to announce that John Archer will be presenting this year’s Helen Moran Memorial Lecture at The Order of The Magi, Manchester on Tuesday 25th April 2017.
John has a long list of TV credits to his name including BBC TV’s “Help my Supply Teacher is Magic” and an even longer list of awards including The Magic Circle Stage Magician of The Year. He was also one of the first magicians to Fool Penn & Teller.

During his lecture, he will share his extensive knowledge and experience of Magic, Mentalism & Comedy (although we are unable to confirm at this time whether he will be bringing his ukele!). Anyone who has seen John Archer perform and / or lecture, will know that this event is not to be missed!

Here are few quotes about John Archer and his fantastic abilities:

“John Archer got a standing ovation in the ‘Penn & Teller Theatre’, without Penn and Teller on the stage!” PENN JILLETTE – Penn & Teller (Vegas legends)

“Booking an act for my Dad’s 70th birthday, I wanted a great act and went straight to John Archer- his reputation in the magic world is among the very best. I was so pleased he was able to do it, and he absolutely brought the house down. It was brilliant, hysterically funny, and perfectly pitched for the occasion. He made the evening. I’d recommend him unreservedly.” DERREN BROWN – TV Magician and Psychological Illusionist

“Without doubt he represents for the new century what Paul Daniels did back in the eighties. Strong magic and great comedy seldom come in the same package. If Eric Morecambe – with an added touch of Les Dawson – had been born a magician, he would have been John Archer.” JOHN FISHER – former ‘Head of Entertainment, Thames Television

“Anyone who can make mentalism funny has my unqualified admiration – and that person is John Archer.” ALI BONGO – Magical legend
