Dubbed as ‘A Master of Live Deception’ by the Irish Theatre Magazine, Dublin Magician Rua is an award winning, renowned performer who combines Magic, Suggestion, Psychology, Misdirection and Showmanship in order to seemingly predict and control human behaviour, as well as performing mind bending feats of Magic, Sleight of Hand and Mentalism.

​

Rua began his professional career 17 years ago, later arriving on TV with the ground breaking ten part Magic, Mentalism and Escapology series, 'Draíocht' on Ireland’s TG4. He has since become a live TV regular with featured performances The Late Late Show, The Saturday Night Show, TODAY Live, The BBC's Now You See It, Ireland AM and, most recently, as the breakout star and semi finalist on Virgin Media's flagship series ‘The Big Deal’.

​

He has also had two sold out runs of one-man theatre shows in the Dublin Fringe Festival, both cementing his reputable expertise and fascination with conjurors, con artists, pick pockets, psychics and charlatans.

He is an award winning entertainer who makes his living through performing for the world’s elite brands. He also accepts twenty wedding bookings per year, which he carefully handpicks to ensure exclusivity, and has provided entertainment at over 1000 Irish Weddings to date.

At home, he’s a quiet 35 year old who lives with his Catalan Fiancée and has a passion for health, psychology and cinematography. He dislikes olives and snakes, and his parents wish he would have been a Doctor instead.
