Marc’s natural ability and passion however took a back seat during his teenage years, as he decided to study more conventional subjects like art, design and illustration, something else that came naturally to him. Throughout his studies Marc knew ‘Magic’ was where his heart was and credits his late godfather David with giving him the courage to pursue his dream of becoming a performer.

“David was the most creative person I’ve ever known. He had big dreams, but he never got the chance to fulfill them as he died aged just 40. Before he passed, he told me to live my life to the fullest and that it’s better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all. He was, is and will always be my hero.”
