Paul Draper (priest)

Paul Draper is a British Anglican priest and illusionist. He is known for combining his magic performances with theological reflections, exploring themes of faith, doubt, and wonder.

Draper was ordained as a priest in the Church of England. He has served in various parishes and dioceses. Alongside his religious duties, he has developed a career as a professional magician and mentalist.

His performances often incorporate elements of mentalism, close-up magic, and stage illusions. Draper uses these techniques to illustrate spiritual concepts and engage audiences in discussions about the nature of belief and perception. He has performed his unique blend of magic and ministry at churches, conferences, and other venues, both in the UK and internationally. His work aims to bridge the gap between the rational and the mystical, prompting audiences to question their assumptions and consider different perspectives on faith.
