Dominic Simon "Dom" Wood (born 3 January 1977) is an English entertainer, magician and presenter of radio and television, best known as one half of the double act Dick and Dom, with the other being Richard "Dick" McCourt. From 14 October 2007 to September 2008, he and work partner McCourt presented the Sunday morning show on BBC Radio 1 from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm, but later left the show due to TV commitments. Absolute Genius with Dick and Dom started in 2013. Dick and Dom won the 2014 Children's Presenter BAFTA Award for the second series of the show.




Magic career


Wood was at one point the youngest member of the magician's society The Magic Circle. He was however later expelled in the wake of disapproval over Dick & Dom in da Bungalow, on which he would occasionally perform and gave away tricks, despite him protesting that other entertainers and magicians had effectively done the same publicly before with no blowback.
His magical achievements and awards include:

1999 Escaping from a straitjacket on Houdini's birthday
1998 British Magical Champion
1998 World Record for Card Tricks
1996 IBM Shield for Sleight of Hand
1994 Young Magician of the Year
