Paul Gleeson or Rua (born 7 December 1987) is an Irish TV magician, mentalist and escapologist.

Early life

Born in Monkstown, County Dublin, Ireland, Rua developed his interest in magic at the age of 18. He had previously worked as a fire performer, and after a freak accident suffered second- and third-degree burns to his hands, face and chest. While he was in hospital, he was given a book on card tricks by a friend, through which he developed his interest in sleight of hand.[1] Rua holds a BA Honours Degree in Communication Studies, and a master's degree in Film and Television Studies from Dublin City University.[2]

Television career

Rua's television career began in 2012 when he started filming his debut series Draíocht for Irish national broadcaster TG4, with Midas Productions, the company that was originally behind Irish Hypnotist Keith Keith Barry's debut TV series in 2003. This 10-part series was the first Irish-language magic series to be broadcast in Ireland, and the first Irish television series that featured an escapologist. Rua has also been featured heavily in the Irish Media, performing on RTE's The Saturday Night Show[3], and 'Today',[4] as well as TwoTube, Swipe, Elev8 and The Dig in Diner.[5] TV3's Ireland AM the BBCNI's I Lár an Aonaigh and TG4's Cluiche Thart. In 2016, Rua was [https://vimeo.com/189913044 featured][6] on Ireland's biggest afternoon show, RTE's Today Live. In April 2017, Rua made his debut [https://vimeo.com/214997562 appearance] on the world's second longest running talk show, and Ireland's most watched series RTE's The Late Late Show[2][7][8][9][10][11]

Curator

Rua was the co-curator[12] and researcher for Dublin's Science Gallery 2013 Exhibition, 'ILLUSION',[13] with Richard Wiseman,[14] who was the primary curator with Michael John Gorman. This exhibition explored the neuroscience of magic and illusion.[15][16][16] This exhibition is now touring globally as Science Gallery's most successful exhibition to date.

Live shows

In 2013 and 2015, Rua had two successful runs of one-man shows in the Dublin Fringe Festival titled Of Rogues And Knaves.[17] and "Secrets For Sale".[18] Both shows explored the techniques of con-artists, pick – pockets, psychics and card cheats. The Irish Theatre Magazine wrote: "Gleeson has established himself as a master in the dying, though still fascinating craft of live deception."[19]

During the summers of 2013, 2014, and 2015 he performed on stage at one of Europe's largest outdoor festivals, the Electric Picnic,[20][21][22] as well as the somewhat smaller "Body and Soul Festival".[23]
