About Ben Earl

Ben Earl is a British magician, sleight-of-hand specialist and founder of Studio52. He was among the first performers to fool Penn & Teller using ungimmicked technical skill, and his current project, The Family, presents live weekly teaching and a structured practice system to magicians around the world. Earl is especially associated with direct card magic, applied psychology and deep technical study. The current site supports an active professional and educational career, but it does not advertise ordinary private-event bookings or state a current home city.
