Lyon wanted to be an escapologist from a very early age, picking toy handcuffs with a toothpick.
Whilst at Eton, he performed on many TV programs, such as Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Richard & Judy, MAGIC, Revolver, Blue Peter (five times), Innovation Nation, Xchange and several international television programs.
Along with Drummond Money-Coutts, he toured Kenya performing magic in 2007, and a DVD, Kenyan Conjurations, was produced about their exploits.
The advertising copy reads: "In August 2007, two English magicians travelled to Kenya and performed their mini-miracles wherever they went.
[2] In August 2008, Lyon toured China with Money-Coutts to film a second DVD, this time raising money for a Chinese Children's charity.
