Drummond Money-Coutts shares his journey from being captivated by magic as a child to becoming a world-renowned magician who faced death-defying stunts for Netflix, all while turning away from his family's prestigious banking legacy.
• Found his passion at age eight when his father took him to a fourth-generation magic shop beneath Coutts Bank in London
• Practiced magic relentlessly with a school friend rather than participating in sports at Eton
• Briefly worked at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch before fully committing to magic
• Nearly died during a stunt with golf buggies, which later inspired the Netflix show "Death By Magic"
• Currently based in Dubai with a mission to introduce performance magic to the Middle East, where the concept has historical cultural resistance
• Views his greatest obstacles as his own ambitious dreams and "delusions" that push him toward seemingly impossible goals
• Has now settled in Dubai after years of living out of suitcases, with plans to build a long-term magic legacy in the region
