Mo uses magic to inspire audiences, and believes that in life it is most important for you to do what brings you joy.

Mo began performing in the early 2000s while he was completing his studies in KZN. After a waiter spotted him performing tricks at a local Mugg & Bean, Mo got his first corporate gig, and he has not looked back since.

Mo is the first South African magician to have his own fully-commissioned prime time TV show, Magic with Mo, which aired on SABC 3. He also broke boundaries with his first live theatre magic show, which travelled countrywide. Mo has also had the opportunity to take his magic to Europe and the USA.

He visited the Scenic Drive studio to share his favourite trick with Rian and the team.
