The Trickster

Played by: Gareth Kalyan

The Trickster owes much to a chance encounter with the famed Dieter Roterburg - after the latter’s classic automobile (a 1977 Triumph Spitfire) broke down at the side of the road, on the way to a Royal Gala.

A car mechanic at the time, he stopped to help the stranded Dieter - only to be paid with a single magic secret, as thanks for fixing the magicians car.

This trick he was shown - which he still uses in his act to this day - and the secret of how to do it, stuck with him… who decided on the spot to learn magic and become a magician.

Many years later - with his career having taken a sharp left turn, The Trickster met back up with Dieter at a gig - and the pair became firm friends.
