This exceptional magician owns the room – and above all, close-up magic. Florian is a magician, manipulator and master of suggestion. With a mix of magic, sleight of hand and a few dirty tricks, he wins over his audience in a way you won’t forget.
You have never seen an artist who is so cheeky and yet so charmingly respectful at the same time.
“With their pocket, card and magic tricks, Florian Severin and André Desery contributed greatly to the success of the event. They truly delighted our guests. Thank you very much.”

Tobias knows exactly how perception works – and how to fool it in the most elegant way. The result: close-up magic that doesn’t just baffle, but brings fun and wonder.
“I was sitting right next to him and I still can’t get my head around it – how does he do that? Phenomenal!”
Lydia Müller – Head of Communications (translated from German)

Fun, wonder & magic – right in front of your guests’ eyes.
Table to table, group to group or on a trade fair stand: close-up magic always lifts the mood. The magician adapts to the setting, plays with the audience and involves them in the performance.
This act works at any event. As a rule of thumb, one magician is enough for up to 80–100 guests – for larger events we send several artists at the same time.
“As a close-up magician, you knew exactly how to entertain our clients – not only with your tricks, but with your fresh, witty and charming manner.”
Michael Baltes – Hiscox AG (translated from German)
Close-up magic happens right in front of the audience’s eyes – no stage, no distance. The magician works with everyday objects such as cards, coins or even the guests’ own belongings. That is what makes close-up so special: it is magic you can almost touch.
Close-up magic works for almost any number of guests. As a rule of thumb, one magician can look after up to 80–100 guests. For larger events – up to 4,000 guests – we send several artists who move through the groups at the same time.
That depends on your event. One hour is often enough for a reception; for gala dinners, 2–4 hours work well. We are happy to advise you on the best concept.
