Colchester magician Michael J Fitch is about to hit our television screens in a new show that looks set to make him a star.

Freaky Magic begins its run on Channel 4's Sunday daytime slot, T4, on March 6.

A cross between David Blaine's street magic shows and Trigger Happy TV, Michael is one of four magicians taking part in the show. The others are David Penn, Nigel Mead and Phil Holden, "the mini-magician who does big tricks".

The format for the show involves Michael and his fellow magicians touring the country freaking out strangers with close-up magic, mind reading and large-scale illusions.

Freaky Magic is on T4 at 3.45pm for four weeks starting on Sunday, March 6.
