Street magic: ‘It’s about making people smile’
Street magician Billy Menezes says his favorite thing is using his tricks to make people smile when he goes out.
The 18-year-old from Hackney, east London, is usually spotted with a pack of cards and occasionally posts videos of his encounters on social media.
Billy hopes to change young people’s view of magic and says pulling a rabbit out of a hat is very different.
From impressing Dua Lipa to confusing Rita Ora, he quickly gained interest from celebrities and brands as he continued his magical career.
