Indeed, getting your travel money sorted at the Post Office is so easy, it’s magic.

The new Post Office film ‘Magic Money’ features real magicians, including The Magic Circle Magician Of The Year Brendan Rodrigues, in branch posing as Post Office employees behind the priority Travel Money counter. Filmed live on May 6th the magicians surprised and delighted customers by magically converting their Sterling into foreign currency.

“Consumers broadly know we offer competitive rates on a wide range of currencies, but don’t necessarily know how easy it is to buy their travel money from us. So we are combining brand and direct response spend across digital, press, social and in-branch to reposition the Post Office as the go to place to buy travel money this summer. Whether you are buying currency from one of our 11,500+ branches, ordering online for home delivery, or using one of our Travel Money cards, Post Office has your Travel money sorted”.
