In the words of Lewis Ganson:

John’s fascination with magic ignited when he witnessed the legendary Edward Victor perform at the now-closed Metropolitan Theatre in Edgware Road, London, during his childhood. His passion deepened as he admired the skillful manipulation of Geoffrey Buckingham. The influence of Victor’s thimble artistry and Buckingham’s billiard ball manipulation is evident in John’s performances. After gaining insights from both magicians and studying their works, he crafted his unique act. While the essence of Victor and Buckingham is present, John has innovated his style, contributing original techniques, especially in simplifying complex methods.
