Justin Monehen is a stage magician, writer, and magic consultant, and a proud Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, the highest honour The Magic Circle can bestow.

Originally trained as a dancer, Justin appeared at the Royal Opera House in the 250th-anniversary production of Handel’s Semele, toured internationally with the London Festival Ballet, and performed alongside the legendary Rudolf Nureyev.

As a magician, Justin has performed around the world—on stage, at sea aboard cruise ships, and on television. As the face of Marvin’s Magic’s Freaky Body Illusions, he became instantly recognisable to a generation of children as the ‘Man with the Hand’. Twenty years later, he introduced a whole new generation to the ‘Freaky Living Hand’, a relaunch that went on to generate an extraordinary 50 million online views.

As Creative Director of Marvin’s Magic, Justin has conceived and created products for some of the world’s most iconic brands, including Disney, Rubik’s Cube, The Magic Circle, and Harry Potter. Throughout his career, he has developed hundreds of products, written and illustrated thousands of tricks, and helped inspire millions of young magicians worldwide. He is also the author of The Secret of Nim, The Thumb Tip Book, and Tricks with Svengali Cards, Wizard Cards, and Marked Cards.
