Background
Cairns was born and raised in New Zealand.
Cairns was born and raised in New Zealand.
Unusually for a performer, he did not develop an interest in magic until his late 20"s, when he acquired and refined basic sleight-of-hand conjuring skills over the course of a year while travelling in West Asia and the Middle East. On his return to his home country, Cairns served his performing apprenticeship in Wellington, working part-time as a magician for corporate audiences, launches and charity events. Not well known amongst the general public, Cairns primarily performs in corporate and society circles where he is known for an intellectually engaging yet informal one-on-one approach to his craft.
Although he primarily performs in the United Kingdom, Cairns has also performed in Dubai, Antwerp, and Monaco for corporate clients, celebrities and local royalty.
He also uses his talents in support of various charities, such as The Children"s Society.
