Derek Hughes Biography

Derek Hughes is a magician, comedian, and author known for blending sharp wit with mind-bending illusions. Originally from Minnesota, Hughes developed an interest in magic at a young age and honed his craft throughout his youth, eventually performing at local clubs and theaters. His unique ability to mix stand-up comedy with sleight-of-hand tricks has been lauded by audiences and critics alike, with the New York Times calling him “thoroughly entertaining.”

Hughes has performed his magic on MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, the CW’s "Penn & Teller: Fool Us," and the "Ellen Degeneres Show." He is a consulting producer on TRUtv’s hit magic series, "The Carbonaro Effect" and was a finalist on season 10 of NBC’s "America’s Got Talent," where he captivated audiences and gained widespread fame.

A regular performer at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California, Hughes was nominated for Parlour Magician of the Year. He is also the only magician ever invited to perform at HBO’s prestigious Comedy Arts Festival.

Hughes, a father of two sons, is also the author of "Humpty Dumpty Lived Near a Wall," which gives a modern twist to the classic tale. The children's book was called “wickedly, subversively brilliant” by Kirkus Reviews.
