The head of the Magic Circle has said that performing at COP26 would be a 'dream gig' and wants to educate world leaders with her environment based show.
Megan Swann, 29, made headlines in September when she became the first female president of the illustrious and secretive organisation, but her new duties haven't got in the way of her performances.
Her own unique take on magic sees her educate people about the perils of climate change, and she uses tricks to demonstrate how everyone can get involved in saving the environment.
She has described COP26 as a 'dream gig', and said that she is getting more and more bookings for shows in Scotland.
What do you think about Megan's magic show? Let us know in the comments...
Megan, from Eltham, London, said: "I have lots of different types of magic, but my favourite to perform is environmental magic. I studied wildlife conservation at the University of Kent, I learned a lot and realised how important education is, and getting the word out.
"I ended up combining the eco theme with the magic. Initially, it was just going to be one piece, but I realised that people didn't want to hear about deforestation at birthday parties so I thought I'd better develop a whole education show around it.
"I do lots of magic, I have quite a lot of tricks - it's up to an hour long, and all the tricks are chosen to convey key environmental message, so it's climate change, ocean pollution, deforestation, waste, and species loss or extinctions.
"I have deforestation piece where I use a newspaper that represents the forests and trees, and I rip it up while I talk about deforestation, and shares messages of hope about things we can do as the paper comes back together
"The show is about what we can all do, it's a message of hope that we can all do our bit. My theory is that if I can engage people to do their bit then maybe that will filter through, especially with kids - where they might end up, we might be educating the prime minister of tomorrow."

She told the Guardian : "For COP26 I would probably do my piece that describes the basic science of climate change. I have a clear balloon that represents the Earth’s atmosphere and I have a black ball that represents gases such as carbon dioxide.
"And that appears inside the balloon to show pumping those gases into the atmosphere.”
Megan said that she has always had an interest in nature, having been raised by her parents to have a love of the outdoors.
She continued "I've always love nature, I grew up with it. My mum and dad were both outdoorsy, taking us to parks and local woods and things like that.
"I've always loved animals and nature. And it's about the whole world, it's not just about ourselves.
"It's my parents that started me on this journey. I'm not naive enough to think I'm solving the problem, I'm just trying to do my bit.
"It'd be amazing to perform at COP26, it would be a great opportunity to get the message across. The crowd might be a good audience for my message."
