About Darren...
Darren
McQuade was born on 16th March 1983. He was brought up by
his parents in the small town of Grays with two brothers and
a sister.
His first magical experience was at the
age of 4 whilst watching Paul Daniels on TV. He then became
obsessed with learning the art of magic and not long after,
his Nan gave him his first magic book 'Ali Bongos Book of
Magic'. It was from this that he learnt his first tricks!
Soon after he received a Paul Daniels
magic set for his birthday. Over the years he has performed
small shows for his friends at school and watched every magic
he could on TV. His favourites were, and still are Penn and
Teller.
After leaving school he went on to study
Graphic Design at college. During the weekend, he demonstrated
tricks for Magic, Magic, Magic at the Lakeside Shopping Centre
in Essex.
Just after leaving college he broke his
front tooth practising the famous bullet catching illusion.
Whilst he doesn't do that effect anymore, he soon began performing
professionally and has since done shows all over the UK for
restaurants, corporate clients, weddings and private parties.
He has also done special shows to help
launch key book titles for borders UK, and even helped raise
money for the annual BBC Children in Need.
His next big show could be yours!
