Originally from Dundalk, Ruairi was acting from a very young age, starring in many local and touring
theatrical shows while still in his childhood. His interest in magic was sparked during a visit to London
where he witnessed his first magic show. He then apprenticed under Anthony P. Thursby, considered to be
one of the greatest magical entertainers in Ireland.
