Whether close-up among your guests or on stage in front of hundreds, the experience is crafted to elevate your event and leave people talking about it long after the night ends.

Act I • The setup

We stack the deck in your favor.

Every great illusion starts before anyone realizes it began. Act I is where we quietly design your event to feel like it was scripted for a film – but happening in real life.

Scene 1
The ice is broken.

Guests arrive, and before small talk can get awkward, miracles are already happening at their tables or in the bar area.

Scene 2
The story begins.

We build a running theme through the night – a thought, a symbol, a card – that keeps reappearing like a glitch in the system.

Scene 3
Everyone’s involved.

Your CEO, your best friend, your family – they’re not just watching. They’re making the choices that somehow were predicted all along.

Think of me as your co-director for the night. You tell me:

  • → What kind of story you want your guests to remember.
  • → Who absolutely must be part of the magic.
  • → The tone: elegant, playful, mysterious – or all of the above.

From there, I design an experience that lives between sleight-of-hand, psychology and cinema. No templates. No generic “tricks”. Only custom-built moments.

Act II • The turn

Three ways the magic can play.

Choose the format that fits your event. Each one is built around strong reactions, clean material and moments that feel impossible up close.

Format #1

Close-up miracles between guests

I move from group to group during the reception or cocktails, performing intimate miracles with cards, phones and borrowed objects. Everything happens inches away – no stage, just real reactions.

Perfect for receptions 1–3 hours, flexible

Format #2

Magic • Mentalism • Humour

A 30–45 minute show blending magic, mentalism and sharp, modern humour. Thoughts are revealed, predictions land impossibly, and visual moments unfold right in front of everyone.

Ideal for 40–400 guests Magic, mentalism & comedy Corporate & weddings

Format #3

Custom-crafted / branded moments

Your logo, campaign or wedding story woven directly into the illusions. I design signature moments where your message is the climax – like a cinematic trailer, but happening live in your room.

Product launches & brands VIP & private experiences
Act III • The reaction

The moment after the reveal.

The trick is what they see. The magic is what they feel in the seconds after – when they look at each other and say, “How was that even possible?”

I’ve performed for tech companies, luxury hotels, wedding couples and private members’ clubs who all wanted the same thing: something their guests hadn’t seen before.

No cheesy props Smart & clean material Tailored to your audience

My job is simple: make you look like you made the coolest decision for the event. You invited them. I make sure they never forget it.
