[edit] Magic

Mulhern began entertaining from a very young age and became interested in comedy and magic. He was a member of The Magic Circle and has become a successful TV magician. Magic credits have included The Quick Trick Show and more recently Tricky TV. He has released a number of children's magic sets and videos and has toured the UK with his show entitled Stephen's Mega Mad Magic Show. The show proved popular attracting large audiences. He has taken part in the Royal Variety Performance at the Victoria Palace Theatre with The Queen in attendance. In 2005 Mulhern created and presented the Channel 4 magic show Freaky and was credited as executive producer. In 2006 he performed a magic routine in an episode of The Slammer, he came in second place, and thus was not released, to the dance group "Flawless".

[edit] Stage career

Mulhern starred in the stage version of Grease as Danny Zuko and stated his ambition was to play the title role in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. In 2005 he appeared on Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes as Robbie Williams. Mulhern has a regular slot at Butlins, where he once was a redcoat, during the summer season with a show of comedy, magic and gunge.

For Christmas 2002 he appeared in panto at the Ashcroft Theatre, Croydon. He found his audience difficult and left the stage in a petulant mood. During the half time break, Barry Kelleby who was wearing the Mr Blobby suit for this performance tackled a group of young people claiming he was the show's producer, Carina Skipper. Kellerby told the youngsters they would be 'removed from the theatre' if they continued to enjoy the pamtomime in a panto fashion thereby 'making life difficult for my artist'. Mulhern found the silence from the audience easier to handle.

In 2005 he was back at Croydon with Danny La Rue and he performed in Mother Goose in Bromley for the 2006/07 pantomime season.[citation needed]. He starred in Aladdin at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury, playing the leading role of Aladdin, however when he was not able to play the role director and writer Paul Hendy stood in to take the role.
