Great Company with Jamie Laing · NICK MOHAMMED: How Comedy & Magic Helped Me Survive the Playground Bullies · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

So I must've been, I couldn't have been much older than three or four.

And I definitely remember watching like the Paul Daniels magic show as a kid, which I must've been five or six.

So, so I think those are like my earliest memories when I was sort of three, four, five.

Cause you started doing magic at four years old.

Yeah, so I got a magic set when I was... My sister, she got a Paul Daniels magic set when she was seven for her seventh birthday, and I basically nicked it, so I would have been four, and I was obsessed with it, and sort of still am.

And it's really interesting you're saying about that innocence thing, because I think that that's what...

good magic tricks.

I mean, there's a lot of sort of quite sort of corny magic and not great magic out there.

But I think when magic is done well, I think the reason why audiences react to it so well is because it does take them back to a kind of a... There's that kind of...

that wonder kind of moment where almost anything is possible like you sort of know it can't be possible like you can't make things float and you can't make things vanish but but actually as a kid those things feel completely feasible and i think when you see a good magic trick and it takes you by surprise and there's that kind of element of wonder it sort of takes you back to that childhood sort of feeling of like like being in awe of something

And I love being an audience member as much as I do performing.

And I don't really perform as much anymore as like a straight magician.

I mean, I do it sometimes in character as Mr. Swallow, but they're kind of sort of slightly secondary to the comedy really now.

But I used to work as a magician a lot, but I still love magic and I love watching it.

I read,

probably um i mean i have a magic book on the go pretty much every day and you don't honestly i've read a bit of a magic book probably every day since i was about four or five you're joking i'm not joking i do that is why and i just and i will and even if it's like a couple of pages but i i've got like a big magic book collection and i still love it and i love learning new secrets and principles i mean i'm not very good at sleight of hand at all but i i still love kind of reading about it and often i'll just read stuff and think that's absolutely amazing i

And because I used to work as a magician a lot, I can still do bits and pieces, but I'm really more of a hobbyist now.

That was unexpected?

Well, it was definitely a defense mechanism and a bit of a crutch, and I probably didn't recognize that at the time.

In what way?
