Andrew Van Buren

Andrew Van Buren is a British performer who specialises in magic, large-scale illusions, juggling and plate spinning.

Van Buren spent his childhood touring the world with his parents' Fred Van Buren and Greta's magic and illusion show. He learned his trade in theatres and circus, on-stage, off-stage and backstage. During this time he teamed up with an Hungarian State Circus artiste who taught him the art of trick cycling, which led to his performing in unicycling, juggling and plate spinning with real breakable plates.

Van Buren and his team have performed at the Brit Awards in the London Arena and members of the British Royal family at World Expo in Seville, Spain. He has regularly performed with and made appear, disappear and float in mid-air the cast of Coronation Street, comedian Peter Kay and Lulu. He has worked in British venues including The Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena in London, as well as regularly performing on international cruise ships and presenting shows in the United Arab Emirates. On 8 September 2011 Van Buren presented the opening show of the New Mitchell Arts theatre in his home area of Hanley Stoke-on-Trent - the first theatre he worked on as a solo performer, returning 30 years later to present one of his illusion shows as the launch of the new £4 million refit venue. During 2013 amongst other projects Van Buren worked as Magic consultant and advisor on the show Houdini, which toured theatres in the UK - starring Stuart Brennan, Jamie Nichols and Evanna Lynch.
