As Preston Digitator
-WARNING-
If you’re serious about magic……he’s not!
Comedy and laughs are assured at your next event as Mark McDermott’s alter ego ‘Preston Digitator’, circulates around the room. You and your guests won’t believe the close-up sleights and illusions that unfold before your eyes.
Preston has been described as the ‘maestro of magic’, the ‘commander of conjuring’, the ‘prince of prestidigitation’ and the ‘egghead of enchantment’. He manages to put the ‘wiz’ in wizardry, the ‘spell’ in spellbinding, the ‘trick’ in trickery and the ‘ill’ in illusion.
As a Magician, Mark specialises in close-up magic suited to all venues and occasions. His smooth, relaxed style of comedy magic combined with balloon antics has endeared him to Sydney audiences since 1995.
He honed his magic skills while entertaining at the original Sydney Harbour Casino and later Star City Casino over a number of years. Throughout his career he has worked for hundreds of corporate clients including his work on Norwegian Cruise Lines.
Children’s shows are amongst his favourites. With a Degree in Education and many years teaching experience behind him, his highly interactive shows are structured to cater for specific and mixed age groups. He can easily work in most home environments and is fully house-trained!
To break the ice at your next event, loosen up your guests and start the laughter, invite ‘Preston Digitator’ over. If it’s for the first time, it probably won’t be the last!
