Guy Hollingworth
Guy Hollingworth (born 1974) is an English barrister, conjurer, author and lecturer. As a conjurer he is known for his skilful performances of card magic and for his books and lectures in which he presents original tricks and routines.
==Career==
Hollingworth first became interested in magic at the age of 13 when he was a pupil at St Paul's School, a private school in west London. The school has a magic club called The Prestige Society, which Hollingworth joined in preference over activities such as classics or sports practice which he would otherwise have been expected to do. He was inspired by seeing footage of magician Channing Pollock, which was shown as part of the television series ''The Best of Magic'', broadcast by Thames Television in 1989-90. Hollingworth has stated that he was also influenced during the same period by seeing Ricky Jay perform on the Channel 4 television series The Secret Cabaret. Hollingworth began his performing career with a show at the school open day.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Early years )〕 He later graduated in industrial design and subsequently in law. At the same time he continued performing magic as well as developing new tricks. Such was his success that he also began to be asked to give lectures to other magicians. He currently works full-time as a barrister, but continues to give occasional magic performances.
Hollingworth's best known creation is his trick ''The Reformation'', in which a signed playing card is torn into four pieces and then visibly restored one piece at a time. He is also well known for his book, ''Drawing Room Deceptions''. Some of his card magic is presented in his commercially available videos ''The Reformation'', ''The London Collection'' and ''Routines'' directed by filmmaker and magician Anthony Davis. He was also featured on NBC's ''World's Greatest Magic III'' TV special. In August 2008, he presented a well-received show at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival entitled "Expert at the Card Table", which was based on a 1902 book of the same title.
