Every Friday at 5pm we upload a new Talk Magic Episode. This is an interview with someone in the magic community. Someone who has had a positive impact on the magic community or perhaps a creator.

Today Craig talks to Steve Dela. Steve is one of the most decorated magical performers in the world with 19 international awards to his name. These include, ‘UK Close Up Magic Champion’ as awarded by the International Brotherhood of Magicians – a title Steve has now held on two occasions.

Steve also made magic history in 2007 by becoming the only magician to win The Rovi Trophy – presented to the UK’s best card magician – three years in a row. Before Steve no performer had ever won this award more than once.

Steve began performing magic professionally at the age of 16. Just one year later ‘The Magic Circle’ awarded him the prestigious accolade of ‘Young Magician of The Year’. He also gained automatic entry to this world famous magic organisation and within just two months was promoted to an ‘Associate of The Inner Magic Circle’ with Silver Star (for exceptional performing ability).

Steve still holds the honour of being the youngest ever recipient of this degree and later went on to become the youngest EVER council member of ‘The Magic Circle’.

Steve is one of only a handful of magicians to have his photo permanently displayed on the wall of ‘The Magic Circle’. This is the magic equivalent to receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Craig talks to Steve about his life as a magician, magic vs mentalism, propels metals, drag queens, scary clowns and lots more.  This is an amazing interview that you don't want to miss.
