From Screen to Sleight of Hand:
Many clients are surprised to learn that Brendan Patricks, known for stylish close-up magic at weddings, private parties and corporate events, also has an established acting career.
Brendan Patricks appears in Rivals, streaming on Disney+ and Hulu from 15 May 2026, featuring in the opening episode’s dramatic polo sequence alongside a talented cast including Danny Dyer, Luca Pasqualino and Alex Hassell.
Like live performance, filming scenes of this scale requires timing, confidence, focus and the ability to perform under pressure. In preparation for his Rivals role, the cast undertook two months of polo training to bring authenticity and energy to the opening episode.
Those same qualities are often what make Brendan so popular as a London magician. Whether performing close-up magic during a drinks reception, entertaining guests between courses, or creating memorable moments at a private celebration, Brendan combines technical skill with natural charm and audience connection.
It is this blend of screen experience and live performance expertise that helps set Brendan apart at events across London and the UK.
