David Gemmell

Born in 1965, David's interest in Magic began at an early age, developing into a serious interest in his teen years. David was lucky enough to meet magician Harold Morton who sponsored him to join the Portsmouth Magic Circle on his 16th birthday. In his time as a member David has twice been President, and served on the committee for many years helping anybody who needed it.

David was the Twice winner of the now defunct Southern England Close-up Magic competition, the only person to do this. David has lectured to magicians and performed at various conventions for the last 15 years.

David currently lives with partner Clare a professional singer, and between them they have seven children and are living in Wales. Magic is his life and he performs both for the public and magicians throughout the year. Thanks to his wife and many of his close friends, David has decided to put some of his card work on the record.
