January this year was spent at ZigZag Productions where I was Co-Writer and Magic Producer for a TV special for ITV called 'Operation Magic'.
The one-hour show stars Britain's Got Talent winner Richard Jones and sees him entertaining the public, the army and celebrities with his magical skills.
Operation Magic is on ITV at 6pm on Saturday 15th April and is followed by the first episode of this year's Britain's Got Talent.
Last night I attended a glamorous awards ceremony at The Brewery, where Tricked Series 1 picked up the award for ‘Best Entertainment Show’. Beating competition from Made In Chelsea, Release The Hounds, The Revolution Will Be Televised, Sexy Beasts and magic show, Troy. Renowned within the industry, the Broadcast Digital Channel Awards have been recognising innovation and creativity for the past ten years.
Judges said: ‘Tricked boosted Thursday night on ITV2 and provided a strong inheritance for Keith Lemon’s Celebrity Juice’, they described Ben as a ‘fresh, engaging new talent’ and said the show ‘brought panache and innovation to a familiar genre’.
We’ve nearly finished series 2 which will be on in September.
