Julius Dein, born in 1994, was born and raised in Kenton, a district in north-west London, and quickly became one of the world's most famous illusionists. He started, practising little tricks, in his high school days, school being his first stage, during parties and school assemblies. Julius then continued as a joke, improvising a street magician and disturbing passers-by with his pranks: from flowers that materialise from a wire, to coins that pass from one pocket to another, to objects that move with the power of thought or that catch fire and then reappear intact.

Notoriety came when he decided to post his videos online: in a short time he reached viewers all over the world, becoming a internet stars with tens of thousands of views and reaching a total of over 20 million followers on his social channels in just two years. Julius then started travelling, making his magic itinerant and mixing it with a kind of comedy-cabaret. His way of entertaining the public also displeased the press, theHuffington Post said of him: "Julius Dein is at the same time simple, but so funny. It is very brave nowadays to be able to joke with people."
