the story of when

We made a Magician's brand & website without revealing his identity.

for Marquis of Magic

what we did

The Marquis of Magic approached us initially via carrier pigeon to create an equally magical brand identity and website for his various illusionary endeavours. And really, who turns down a pigeon?

An identity for a magician who may not exist

The Marquis of Magic is a magician who has been performing up and down the UK for over 20 years and is a mainstay at exclusive venues for weddings, corporate events and much more, but his existence is shrouded in secrecy. We needed to build the profile, brand and online presence, without revealing anything about him!

A website that actually amazes you (no, really!)

When the Marquis first approached us, we started with the brand identity, but soon realised that the website had to do more than just take bookings. It had to tell a story, but more so, it had to amaze visitors, so we set about creating a magic trick that would captivate guests and encourage them to contact the Marquis.

Telling the story of a "thoroughly unknowable" man

Visiting the Marquis’ website is a journey of discovery through the ages. With claims of placing a card trick on the moon, stealing the pocket watch of Charlie Chaplin and much more, we needed to tell the story of the Marquis in an engaging way, with thoughtful animation, mysterious theming and a natural progression to booking. We recommend you visit the site before anything else!

“Working with Lost was a pleasure from start to finish. They broke a huge overall project down into manageable blocks that allowed us to launch our brand, website and signage within a matter of months, which likely would have taken us years otherwise. We look forward to continuing our work with Lost for many years to come.”
