A MAGICIAN described by Simon Cowell as a wizard, is appearing at Medina Theatre.

Britain's Got Talent winner from 2016, Richard Jones, will appear on Friday, April 5.

He is touring the UK with his magic show, Escape.

Richard, who is also a British Army soldier, has something very different in store for fans. He is attempting 'magic with meaning' — not just a set of tricks, but a programme by which to live your life.

Richard said: "I'm visiting a lot of different towns during my UK tour and I'm particularly looking forward to my event at Medina Theatre.

"I really love the Island and I'm still overwhelmed with all the support I received from Britain's Got Talent voters in 2016 when I won the show. I'll never, ever forget their support.

"I've got some amazing new tricks in this show and can't wait for the audience to see what I've got in store.

"I know that Isle Of Wight residents will be great participants and I can't wait to get them involved."
