Mat Ricardo’s Children’s Book ‘The Magic in You’ to be published by Faber

Mental Ideas could not be more delighted to share that our magical ambassador Mat Ricardo has a children’s book coming out! The Magic in You dares kids to be brilliant and discover the magic within themselves, talking about things like mental health while also teaching them some of his amazing feats of dexterity and magic tricks! The book will be published by Faber 31 July 2025, but is already available for pre-order now!

Mental Ideas couldn’t be prouder of Mat and all that he has achieved, especially when it comes to authentically sharing his mental health journey and using his platform to engage and inspire young people who might, for any reason, feel excluded or invisible and helping them shine. This success could not have happened to a more decent, kind and caring human!
