Featured in the Financial Times: A Touch of Magic

James Pritchard was featured in the Financial Times after the newspaper discovered his unusual sideline as a professional magician while he was working in regulatory compliance at HSBC.

The FT highlighted James’s appearance in HSBC’s internal video A Touch of Magic, which showcased his life outside the bank.

The piece ended with a typically tongue-in-cheek suggestion from the City Insider column: perhaps HSBC could harness its resident conjuror to make $618 million appear from the CEO’s hat — a reference to the bank’s then-recent forex fine.

A reminder that even in the City, there’s always room for a little magic.
