In this interview Alex sets the record straight. He has a message for magicians and the magic community and for the first time ever he gets to tell people what REALLY happened from his perspective. This interview is unlike any interview you have seen before. It's compelling and there are massive highs and huge lows - just like Alex's career.
We want to thank Alex for coming on Magic TV and after all these years finally setting the record straight. And thank you for watching.
If you live in the UK you have probably heard of Alex Lodge. For many years he has been considered one of the most controversial and hated magicians in the UK. In fact there were times when Craig and Alex competed for that top spot.
However Alex had a wonderful career. Winning championships, performing on TV, touring the world. The future was very bright for Alex Lodge. and then he decided to enter a new reality TV Show and everything changed. There was a problem with his performance (which the TV company purposefully left in the performance). Off the back of that Alex lost everything. All his work, his house, his girlfriend (who was also the assistant in his show). Plus the entire magic community turned against him literally overnight.
Off the back of all this happening he turned to drink. He didn't know if he would ever perform again. Over the following years he has clawed his way back to a place where he is happy and work is flooding in once again. However this did not happen overnight.
