"Ben’s magic looks real. His movement is so fluid that everything feels effortless." - David Blaine
Ben’s style ignores performative ego in exchange for sharing meaningful experiences with others.
His focus on perfecting the fundamentals and stripping away excess creates profound yet clear moments of magic—moments that others are eager to learn.
In 2020 Ben formed studio52.
His mission? To create a company that pushes magic forward. We see magic as an amazing self-development tool for living a more fulfilling life, rather than just a way of selling tricks.
To do this we focus on a ‘way’ of approaching magic. A ‘way’ of thinking and acting—everything we do is part of a much bigger philosophy of magic.
To bring Studio52’s vision into reality, Ben has assembled a talented, tight-knit team of passionate magical minds—all of whom share the same perspective.
Ben
The hands. His look good and make amazing things happen. Beware of feeding him biscuits after 8pm.
Myles
The eyes. His see the possibilities for capturing stunning stories in every setting. When in doubt, bribe with a new camera lens.
Sarah
The brain. Hers make sure the ship doesn't sink and isn't headed for any icebergs. We promise she isn't a cat.
Nic
The ears. His listens and crafts connections. He speaks for the trees and likes to draw things.
We care about what is good, not what is popular. We want to encourage others to see magic from a new perspective so that it can become a way of life rather than a trivial amusement.
We are the only magic company on Earth that sees magic this way—and we attempt to lead by example. We are also visual and conceptual trailblazers with an obsessive eye for detail—everything matters.
Redefining the limits
Nourishing a community of like-minded people is everything to us.
We have produced trendsetting projects across social media, put on the greatest guest lineup for an event, and created the premiere magic learning platform available with The Family. We push the art of sleight of hand to new heights, divesting ourselves from gimmicky tricks and inauthentic performances, leaving only space for what really matters.
The journey is the destination
Magic is a way of being, an aperture through which we experience the world.
We write, perform, film, and speak about our approach, inspiring others to see magic in new ways and use it in their lives. We don’t have all the answers, it would be boring if we did. Instead, we are curious to know more—part of a constant quest to improve our own lives and those around us.
