Bio

Laura London was born in London, England on March 10, 1984.

She was bitten by the performance bug as a child, dancing and acting on stage.

She was also fascinated by the art of magic and found herself drawn to magicians Fay Presto and Criss Angel.

By her late teens, Laura decided to turn her passion into a career and began to develop and hone her skills.

Laura, influenced by her passion for magic in different eras, developed her unique fashion style - from Victorian hats to 60's style minis, and even a moustache and suit for her 1920's act.

Incorporating theatre and cabaret in her shows, she has taken on the role of Mercedes Talma, one of the first ladies in magic.

The role was performed for the Heritage Show in the Magic Circle’s Centenary Celebrations, recreating a classic act from 1909.

In 2001, she had appeared and hosted numerous TV shows, including "Magic Party" on BBC, Northern Ireland.

She has performed at many prestigious events including the Queens 80th birthday at Buckingham Palace.  

  Laura even had the great thrill of performing in one of New York’s ‘off Broadway’ theatres at a New Years Eve event.

Well travelled, she has also performed in Los Angeles, Oslo, Geneva, Dubai and Vienna.

As an entrepreneur, Laura has collaborated with Claudia De La Creme and launched a company called London De La Creme.

It is a collection of illusion and cabaret shows throughout various decades.

Laura has also organized a special charity event at The Garage in Highgate in aid of 2009 ‘Children in Need’, and coerced many of her magical and musical friends to take part free of charge
