Who Is Miles?

Miles' approach to performing magic has always stood apart. While many magicians enjoy showcasing their tricks, Miles created The Bowler Hatted Magician (TBHM) to draw audiences into the realisation that magic is all around us. For him, magic isn’t about what he can do - it’s about what we all share.

"I love inviting audiences to recognise the magic within themselves. I strive to craft stories that reveal how everyone in the room is just as magical as me."

This philosophy stems from a lifetime of experience performing for live audiences. Miles began his professional journey at the age of eight as a cathedral chorister. Over the years, he has immersed himself in the arts, including working at the BBC and performing extensively in theatre. His acting credits range from Shakespearean lead roles to West End musicals.

Although he discovered magic later in life, Miles' grounding in a myriad of live arts allows him a unique perspective. He has always placed his audience at the heart of his art, ensuring every performance is a shared experience, brimming with awe and connection.

“What drives me is ensuring that even the most reserved guest becomes part of a moment of wonder. Not just witnessing the remarkable, but realising that they were instrumental in making magic happen.”
