Alex McAleer

Biography

Alex McAleer has spent over a decade perfecting the art of knowing what’s going on inside other peoples’ heads.
Having played to packed houses at the Edinburgh Fringe, award nominated sell-out shows in Australia, and extensively touring North America and the United Kingdom as the standout star of ‘Champions of Magic,’ Alex has earned his reputation as a funny, engaging, and charismatic entertainer. All without selling his soul to Simon Cowell.
As an only child, Alex had many hobbies while growing-up - including magic - but it wasn’t until his mother passed away when he was fou ... rteen that he began to study the techniques of psychics, mentalists, and hypnotists throughout history, learning and developing these unusual skills that have since taken him all over the world.
Alex has made countless television appearances around the world including ITV’s Good Morning Britain (UK), Seven Network’s Today Tonight (Australia), NBC’s Access Hollywood (USA), and the worlds longest running children’s television program Blue Peter.
In 2014 Alex took his one-man show ‘Mind Reader’ to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In 2016, he took ‘Mind Reader’ to Australia’s Perth Fringe World Festival, returning in 2017 with the same show plus an additional late-night show ‘Brainwashed,’ where he was nominated for the Cabaret Award.
Since 2013 Alex has toured extensively with the ensemble illusion show ‘Champions of Magic,’ performing over 500 shows across North America and the UK, including London’s West End, and a record breaking run of 41 shows in 17 days in Toronto, Canada over the holiday season.
Alex is also a highly acclaimed creator within the magic world, known for his unique thinking and in-depth discussion and teaching. He has written several books and courses on his own techniques and delivered lectures to psychology students, mentalists, and magicians at the prestigious Magic Circle.
Since 2013, Alex has performed over 500 shows across the USA, Mexico, Canada and the UK, including London’s West End, with the ensemble illusion show Champions of Magic.
In 2014 Alex took his one-man show "Alex the Mind Reader" to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. He received critical acclaim in 2016 at Perth Fringe World with his show “Mind Reader” where he was nominated for the Cabaret Award. He returned to the festival in 2017 with a revamped version of the same show and a new late night show “Brainwashed". Read More
