BRITAIN'S Got Talent finalist and famous magician Jamie Raven stunned pupils at two city schools ahead of his live show at the New Theatre.

The illusionist, who shot to fame in front of Simon Cowell in 2015, wowed youngsters at St Barnabas Primary School and Rye St Antony last week.

The children got to see up close the tricks watched by over 100 million online.

Mr Raven said: "Oxford is such a beautiful part of the country.

"I hope that the young men and women there were just as excited to see me, or at least more excited about seeing me than they would be for the lessons they would otherwise have been sitting in."

The magician will return to Oxford on February 6 to perform a live show at the New Theatre.
