Meet the Act

Hello dear reader, theater and arts where in my life since my earlyest memory.
I love to read biography's from artists like Fred Astair and Sammy Davis jr. wishing I lived in vaudeville times ;)
I worked for a few years as stage hand to illusionist Christian Farla, I learned a lot there!
Magic is my passion, my greatest motivation in life. Every day I try to find new and creative ways, acts, tricks and stories to make my audience dream for a moment. As a professional magician I am challenged with every new project to think creatively, get better and be the best version of myself. I want ... to share this passion with you! Contact us and we will create a show that is memorable and spectacular but above all magical. Read More
