Jasper Blakeley is an international award-winning magician who left London in 2000, moved to the Welsh seaside town of Barry and pursued his childhood dream of performing magic. Jasper now owns and performs in what he claims is the UK's smallest theatre and the world's smallest magic theatre, The Small Space.
As a trained journalist, Jasper worked for different media companies in London including radio networks such as Real Radio and The Pepsi Chart Show. However, when it came time to settle down with his wife Fay and raise a family together, they decided to move back to Fay's hometown of Barry in 2000, where he started his career as a magician in 2003. "It was something I always wanted to do as a child," he told WalesOnline.
