Close Up Magic
Magic performed directly in front of your guests. Cards, coins, borrowed objects and impossible moments happen only inches away from the audience.
The performance
The art of misdirection
Designed around the people in the room. Every interaction is responsive, personal and close enough to feel impossible.
Mind Reading
Thoughts, choices and decisions become part of the performance. Guests do not simply watch, they become part of the mystery.
Storytelling
Every performance has a story. Magic and narrative combine to create something personal, rather than one trick after another.
For the whole room
Stage magic
For larger audiences and events, a full stage performance designed to entertain an entire room. Structured theatre, participatory mind reading and moments that connect even the furthest seat to the mystery.
