  • Gesa Power House Theatre 111 North 6th Avenue Walla Walla, WA, 99362 United States (map)

Featured on many of the world’s top shows, including America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent, The World’s Best, Penn & Teller Fool Us, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and more, Matt Johnson’s show is one not to miss!

International magician and escape artist Matt Johnson is originally from the United Kingdom and now resides in Vancouver, Canada. Matt has been performing magic and escapes for more than 30 years. In that time, he has traveled the globe! Matt has performed in exotic locations such as Japan, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Panama, Italy, and Australia.

In 2019, Matt was voted the Number 2 Most Viewed Act on Britain’s Got Talent and the Number One Most Dangerous Act. Matt is well known for his death-defying escapes.

Matt began his career as a magician and escapologist in his hometown of Sheffield, England. His knowledge of magic and escapes grew on his travels around the world. He picked up techniques and skills from the countries he visited and the people he met. This unique perspective has allowed Matt to make his performances completely unique and utterly captivating.

Not your typical magician, Matt has crafted a style known as Urban Deception, a refreshingly cool mix of magic and escapes combined with the comedic timing and slick stage presence of a seasoned corporate performer.

His performances incorporate magic, escapes, sleight of hand, mind reading, the power of suggestion, razor-sharp comedic timing, and audience participation into a performance that Simon Cowell called “simply brilliant!”
