The Forms
Close-up or centre stage. Cocktail hour or closing ceremony. Henri creates performances that stop breath and fracture reality.
From national stages across the Nordics, Formula 1 yachts in Abu Dhabi, to the bright lights of Las Vegas, he leaves audiences caught between that moment of disbelief and wonder.
This isn’t just magic. It’s reality on the edge of belief.
Close-Up
A world that fits in the palm of your hand. Cards, coins, borrowed objects, all transformed in impossible ways. Intimate, immediate, and inches from your eyes. The perfect form for intimate groups (5-20 people) for opening/closing ceremonies, cocktail events, themed parties and festivals.
Stand-Up
Magic that fills the room on its own. No grand sets. No curtain drops. Just one voice, one stage, and an entire room that bends to belief. A beautiful blend of presenting and awe-inspiring magic for an audience of 50-500 people.
Illusions
Larger than life, crafted for an unlimited stage. Vanishes, levitations, transformations. Theatre at the edge of imagination that can be tailor-designed with dancers and pyro effects. Illusions built not to fool, but to fascinate.
Conferences
Magic that stops people in their tracks. Sparking conversations, turning interest into connections, and reaching hundreds in a single moment. Concepts become experiences, and the impossible becomes the most unforgettable message of all.
Consultation
The magic behind the magic. Advising productions, brands, and performers on how to weave illusion into their story and create experiences that live long after the reveal.
Presenter / Illusionist
Not just a host, but a storyteller in motion. Guiding events with presence, humour, and jaw-dropping moments that keep audiences captivated between every chapter.
