Drummond Money-Coutts

Drummond William Thomas Money-Coutts (born 11 May 1986), also known as DMC, is an English magician and specialist card shark, and the heir apparent to the Latymer Barony. His first professional performance came in 2000 while he was still at school, at the Royal Horticultural Society.

In August 2007, Money-Coutts travelled to Kenya with Tom Lyon to film Kenyan Conjurations: the School Built By Magic, a DVD documentary released in early 2008. It was produced to raise funds to build a primary school on the Kenyan coast.

In June 2013, his first mainstream television special was aired worldwide on the National Geographic Channel. 'Card Shark' follows the story of the Three-Card Monte in which he travels from London to Paris and Bangkok to both perform and to meet with international card masters. Later that year, he began his second mainstream television series with the channel named Beyond Magic with DMC in which he traveled to various destinations around the world including London, Barcelona, Mexico City and Singapore and performed illusions on the streets along with card tricks.

In November 2018, Netflix released a series created by DMC titled Death by Magic. In the 8-episode series, Money-Coutts visits "Magic Acts" that have in the past been known for causing the death of the performer. The series was released on Netflix on 30 November 2018.

On 11 July 2011, he announced a public treasure quest to take place in London's Natural History Museum. Towards the end of the week, an eleventh envelope would then be concealed somewhere in the museum by an anonymous assistant - inside which was £1,000 in cash.As he states in an online video - the contents and money would belong to whosoever located each envelope.

Once hidden in the museum, the £1,000 envelope was not found for 72 hours but was finally located by Chris Howard and Javier Trapero on the first floor of the Central Hall, on Monday 18 July.

In November 2011, he spent eight consecutive evenings sleeping rough in London as part of a wider campaign for the youth homeless charity, Centrepoint (charity).
