In 2008, Lake became the youngest magician in history to receive the magic world’s holy grail, the Merlin Award, for ‘International Stage Magician of the Year. This award is magic’s highest honour and the industry equivalent of an Oscar.
Lake is the most sought-after Architect of Illusion, having worked as a magic and illusion consultant, illusion designer, and creative consultant for multiple Broadway productions, Disney’s Aladdin, the Touring Hit Broadway Musical, Harry Potter philharmonic arena tours, Sesame Street Live, Walt Disney Imagineering, and Adele’s Las Vegas Residency at Caesars Palace.
“New York hasn’t seen anything like what he does since Copperfield” raves Theatre Life while David Copperfield, who is regarded as the most successfully commercial magician in history says about Rob Lake, “His example should be followed by everyone in the magic profession”.
Lake headlines in venues all over the world, bringing his physics–and sometimes even death-defying illusions–to audiences in the United States as well as over 45 countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and, soon, southern Africa.
He devotes his time, resources, and voice to causes close to his heart, such as military support and animal rescue. In fact, his own furry companion, a Yorkie mutt named Roger, was once a rescue dog and has since become a popular part of his shows.
