Alexander May
Hailing from a family with a history in magic, it seems inevitable that Alexander May would become involved in the art of magic & mentalism. He has been ‘performing’ since he was in primary school in South Africa, and his first real performances was at high school, when he started featuring at various school functions, such as fund-raisers, award evenings etc. Now, with more than 20 years of performing experience, he is a full-time entertainer who earns a living performing at both private and public events, from 2000 people in the auditoriums of international companies, to 2 million viewers on live national television; together with business openings, festivals, team building sessions, and much more in between.
His main work is on the corporate events scene, at gala dinners, functions, road-shows etc, as well as fund-raising events for schools & community groups. His first published book for mentalists – called (Menta)Lists – received highly positive reviews from people such as Banachek, Richard Osterlind and Ken Dyne.
When he is not busy performing, Alexander runs his own company called Alexander May Creative Worx, which creates magic accessories and props that are distributed and sold globally.
