"A professional service run by a working professional."

Michael Breck - Scottish Magician

The Magic Agency was founded in 1989, by Michael Breck, who is a professional Magician in Scotland.

Michael trained as an actor for three years at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. His acting awards include The Royal Lyceum Award, The Duncan McCrae Memorial Award, and The Elaine Gullen Trophy. At the end of his training, he was awarded the Academy's Diploma in Dramatic Art.

Michael also has a BSc in Social Sciences and a Diploma in Marketing from the Royal Chartered Institute of Marketing.

On leaving drama school, Michael worked with theatre companies in Scotland such as Borderline, Cumbernauld Theatre, and Fablevision.

In between theatre jobs he acted in Schools' programmes for BBC Radio Scotland. He also worked as a continuity announcer for BBC Radio Scotland and made innumerable voice-overs for radio ads and corporate video presentations.

His television acting credits include: Taggart, Kings Royal, Aliens, and Gunfight at Joe Kaye.

However, Michael has been practicing Conjuring since the age of five and eventually his work as a Magical Entertainer began to take over from acting.

His television credits as a Magician include: The Untied Shoelaces Show, Funhouse, Get Fresh, High Spirits, The Ice Cream Van, and Scotland Today.

He has also acted as a Magical advisor for BBC and STV.

Michael still does the occasional acting role or voice-over, but now prefers to concentrate on performing Magic and running his Entertainment Agency.

The Magic Agency

The original concept, to provide representation for just top magicians, clowns and jugglers has gradually been expanded into a more comprehensive package of entertainment and organisational skills.

This in turn has led to The Magic Agency retaining one the largest selection of acts and operators available in Scotland and now regularly provides a complete organisation and entertainment service.

It is a sad fact that many Theatrical or Variety Agents have never entertained a paying audience in their lives, but, none the less, give advice to clients on what type of entertainment they should engage.

Alternatively, as a working professional, Michael believes his breadth of experience in actually performing in front of paying audiences helps him to provide a more informed, practical, and better service to both his clients and his fellow artistes.

With over twenty years in the entertainment business, and thousands of satisfied clients, you can rely on Michael Breck at The Magic Agency to advise you honestly on the best type of artiste or novelty for your wedding, event, or promotion.
