About Us
Xclusive Magic Productions (XMP Illusions) was founded in the UK in 2000 with a single purpose: to bring the golden age of theatrical stage magic back to life. At a time when many performers were chasing the next new gimmick, XMP chose a different path, restoring, preserving, and re imagining the classic grand illusions that once defined the world’s most spectacular stages.
Reviving the Icons of Grand Illusion
Our passion lies in seeking out illusion apparatus that has been forgotten, abandoned, or left to gather dust in storage. We restore these legendary pieces with care and craftsmanship, returning them to the spotlight where they belong.
With the elegance, courage, and showmanship of our glamorous magician’s assistants, audiences can once again experience the timeless thrill, spectacle, and fantasy of traditional stage magic.
A Journey Through Magic History
Glamour Illusions transports audiences back to the early 20th century, when the music hall reigned supreme. In 1921, English magician P. T. Selbit stunned the world with the debut of Sawing Through a Woman—a performance that became the most iconic illusion of the century. His groundbreaking work inspired generations of magicians to create ever more elaborate devices, staging theatrical peril that captivated audiences worldwide.
As entertainment evolved through the 1960s and into the television era, illusions became more compact and interactive. Volunteers could now step onstage to experience the thrill themselves, whether placing their head in a guillotine or lying beneath a magician’s saw blade, all without knowing the secrets behind the magic.
For the Bold: The Evil Magician
For those who crave something darker, more intense, and more theatrical, XMP presents The Evil Magician—a collection of characters featured at GlamourIllusions.com. Here, the glamorous magician’s assistant takes centre stage in downloadable videos and modelling photo sets that blend illusion, fantasy, and dramatic tension. This content is designed for mature audiences and is not intended for the faint‑hearted or the very young.
Meet Rob
Rob has a long and vibrant history in the world of magical entertainment. In the 1990s, he created and toured his own stage production, Mirage Illusions, performing across the South West of England. When he retired from the stage at the end of the decade, he brought together two passions, classic grand illusions and the emerging world of digital photography.
This fusion became the foundation of the visual style you see today. Over the years, Rob has continually refined his craft, developing the technical precision and artistic eye required to meet the high standards of quality that visitors have come to expect from GlamourIllusions.com. His dedication to excellence ensures that every image captures the drama, elegance, and theatrical magic at the heart of XMP illusions and photography..
