have garnered him waves of notable attention which have forged a clear path in making Rua the magician unto the world’s elite, and the first choice for Weddings & Corporate events. He is also the 2018 finalist for BEST CORPORATE ENTERTAINER in the prestigious 2018 Event Industry Awards, and the only Magician / Mentalist to be nominated and shortlisted this year.

His one-man shows Of Rogues and Knaves and Secrets for Sale have been sell-out hits in the Dublin Fringe Festival, leading critics to write that ‘Rua has firmly established himself as a Master in the dying though still fascinating craft of live deception ‘ (The Irish Theatre Magazine), and ‘Rua clearly has Derren Brown within his sights’ (The Irish Times).
