(Bexley Hill, Kent, England: 25th February 1956 - )

Mark has been a full time professional magician since 1981 and since that time has brought his particular brand of comedy magic to a huge number of events both large and small. Much of the magic that Mark uses in his performances he has invented himself, and in fact Mark is well known in the magic world for his range of exclusive products which he sells to entertainers worldwide via his mail order company Mark Leveridge Magic.

Mark is a member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, which is the furthest you can go in that organization, and he has also won a number of magic competitions, the most notable being the Zina Bennett Close Up Magic Trophy which is awarded by the International Brotherhood of Magicians.

Four-midable Mental Mysteries by Mark Leveridge

Psychic Selection - a parlour routine in which a spectator cuts to a card that he has in his mind

A pack of cards is shuffled by a spectator, replaced in its box to prevent it from being tampered with, and then handed back to the spectator for safekeeping.

An important member of the audience is then invited on stage. This person could be a principal guest at a party, the function organiser, or a CEO/owner/director at a business event.

The performer explains that before the show he approached this spectator and invited him to decide on a card, any one of the 52. He asks the volunteer...

Four coin routines that do not require any gimmicks.

Cash Withdrawal - a spectator marks one of five coins with his initials and the chosen coin is dropped into an envelope and left in view. The other four coins are held in a spectator's closed fist. Instantly the envelope is torn up and the vanished signed coin is found in amongst the other four coins in the onlooker's closed hand.
