Ian Saville (born 30 April 1953) is a British magician whose act incorporates ventriloquism and comedy. His performance is distinctive primarily for the fact that it is geared towards a comic form of socialist propaganda. He says of his act, “whereas David Copperfield is content with little tricks like making the Statue of Liberty disappear, I aim at the much more ambitious goal of making International Capitalism and exploitation disappear”.
In 1979, he started developing his “socialist magic” act. He cites Bertolt Brecht as a major influence, and one of his shows features a ventriloquists’ dummy of Brecht. He has collaborated with left-wing folk singer Leon Rosselson in two shows.
In 1990, he received a PhD from City University, London for his thesis on political theatre in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s. He currently teaches part-time on theatre courses at Middlesex University.
In August 2013, he visited the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a free show about money – the Free Money Magic Show.
In September 2016, he performed at the Keep Corbyn rally in Brighton in support of Jeremy Corbyn’s campaign in the Labour Party leadership election.
Saville’s Edinburgh show in 2016 was Revolution in the Magic Square, an allegory on the rise of Jeremy Corbyn.
