Dan's relatively late appearance on the magic scene can be slightly forgiven due to his roller coaster ride of a life so far. Over the years he has been an art student, a forensics consultant and expert witness, intelligence operative, special effects technician, audio engineer and a decorated member of the Royal Navy. Add to this a social life plus a wife and children and you barely have time to fit in a quick cup of tea. However, Dan's life has since gone full circle and he is now back doing what he loves the most – being darkly creative.

Dan spent his youth collecting animal bones and immersing himself in fantasy books and anything even faintly connected with the paranormal. Raised on a staple diet of horror films, Goth music and the appreciation of everything freakish and abnormal Dan's tastes and unique style had been pretty much set in stone.

Lebanon Circle Magic has since become a name synonymous with unsurpassed quality and dastardly inventive illusions. Partly thanks to a certain deceased fairy catapulted him into the public eye in 2007 when the mummified Derbyshire fairy appeared in the news. After many radio and press interviews a steady stream of dead fairy commission

requests came rolling in. Dan now works from his London studio surrounded by ex-fairies, creepy dolls and magic works in progress. His work sells globally and Dan continues to experiment with materials and techniques while incorporating local folklore into his sculptures.

Dan also heads Repentia Media, a DVD production company that provides artistic direction, filming and editing for any magician wishing to commit their skills or ideas to film for commercial release.

Destined to become a mover and shaker in the world of art and magic Dan is a force to be reckoned with; albeit a dark one.
