The art of stealing the show… and occasionally your watch!

James Brown combines world-class sleight of hand, psychological misdirection and theatrical pickpocketing to create close-up magic that is as astonishing as it is mischievous.

A master of the art, James can seemingly remove watches, wallets, phones and ties without his unsuspecting victims noticing a thing. It's all performed with impeccable skill, a gentle touch and a cheeky smile – and, of course, everything is returned!

Recognised as one of the leading authorities on theatrical pickpocketing, James is also a renowned teacher to fellow magicians and the creator of the go-to training course on the subject. His expertise has even taken him into the world of Hollywood, consulting Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell on Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

It's close-up magic with a twist. You might lose your watch, but you'll never lose your sense of wonder!
