Pete Firman

Peter "Pete" Firman (born 26 April 1980) is an English magician, comedian, television presenter and actor.

"[3] Firman's first big break came in 2002 when he responded to an advert from Objective Productions, who were searching for new magicians for a new television show, Monkey Magic.

In April 2003 the cast of Monkey Magic had their first meeting and Firman met fellow magician Ali Cook with whom he later shared a flat for two and a half years.

Dirty Tricks was a six-part series in 2005 on Channel 4, hosted by Firman along with Barry and Stuart.

[4] The show had regular spots from Ali Cook and Jonathan Goodwin as well as guest appearances from international variety acts and celebrities including Penn & Teller, Stephen Fry, Mylene Klass and Kevin James.

Firman was a special guest on Don't Miss a Trick, a one-off family show version of The Real Hustle, which first aired on 25 August 2008 on BBC One.

In 2007 Firman performed his debut solo show Hokum at the Underbelly as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Since then he has performed each year at the festival, returning with a brand new show every time, most recently in 2018 with Marvels at the Pleasance Beyond.

[3] In 2006, Firman wrote his first book, Tricks to Freak Out Your Friends, in which he reveals secrets such as "how to crack your nose", "how to take a bite out of a glass" and "how to stick a barbecue skewer through your tongue".
