Twenty-three-year-old Joel M from Bangor, Co Down, is the hottest young magician in Northern Ireland. With over 5 million followers on TikTok, Joel’s likeable personality and brand of jaw-dropping stunts and mind games is making him one of the most in-demand illusionists at home and abroad.

Now Joel is taking his epic sorcery skills to unique parties and events around the country, helping to create life-changing celebrations that people will talk about for years to come.

In this heartwarming and hilarious new series for BBC Northern Ireland, Joel spends time with party organisers in the run-up to their big event: a school formal, a gender reveal or a party celebrating the end of the transfer test. His plan is to create a sensational evening of mind-blowing tricks and magical moments to be the climax of their party.

Joel zeros in on key individuals in advance of the event, in their homes, at work and at play. This research period gives Joel the opportunity to tailor some of his tricks to the people involved, making these events both memorable and magical. Will the party live up to expectations? Show less
