Derek Hughes Speaker Biography
You might recognize Derek Hughes as one of the recent finalists on America’s Got Talent but his experiences range far beyond that. Derek’s original comic voice and strong interactive magic make him one of the most requested acts working today.
His live performances of celebrated conjurer have been lauded by audiences and critics alike, with the New York Times calling Derek “thoroughly entertaining.” Hughes has performed his magic on MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, the CW’s Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and the Ellen Degeneres Show. He is currently a consulting producer on TRUtv’s hit magic series, The Carbonaro Effect.
Derek performs regularly at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California where he was recently nominated for Parlour Magician of the Year. He also is the only magician ever invited to perform at HBO’s prestigious Comedy Arts Festival.
Millions of people have seen Hughes’ magic on television, or through the screen of their favorite media player. However, magic at its best is a live performance experience that no camera can truly capture. An expert improvisor, his repertoire is both clever and funny, and his quick wit is a perfect match for various audience types. Hughes can custom-tailor the content and message of his show to meet the needs of your event or meeting.
