He first gained public attention as the creator and star of ITV2’s Tricked, where he used magic to prank celebrities and members of the public. Since then, he has appeared on shows including The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Celebrity Juice and Dancing on Ice, and has performed live on stage in London’s West End in The Illusionists and Live at The Palladium. His one-man shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival earned five-star reviews, with Theatre Weekly calling it “the best variety show of the Fringe”.
Beyond live performance, Ben has embraced digital media, growing an audience of more than 2 million followers through viral content and brand partnerships with companies such as Amazon Prime and McDonald’s. He is also co-founder of Pull The Pin, a Birmingham-based digital marketing agency helping companies craft effective video content and strategy.
As a speaker, Ben distils his experience into practical lessons on how to make an impact - whether on stage, in the boardroom, or online. Drawing from his TEDx talk, "How to INSTANTLY Create Engagement and Connection", he explores themes such as mindset, confidence, resilience and dealing with failure. His approach combines humour, personal storytelling and tried-and-tested techniques to help individuals and organisations communicate more effectively.
