Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

For close-up magic and mentalism, no special technical equipment is required. I perform directly among your guests, adapting naturally to the venue and atmosphere.

For stage performances, a suitable performance area, good visibility and a professional sound system with a wireless headset microphone are preferred. Specific requirements are discussed in advance according to the event.


What information do you require about a venue?

I simply need to know the venue location, approximate number of guests, event schedule and whether the performance will take place indoors or outdoors.

For stage shows, details about the performance area, audience seating, sound system and available lighting are helpful. I coordinate with the organiser to ensure everything runs smoothly.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Close-up performances require no sound or lighting equipment.

For stage shows, a suitable sound system and wireless headset microphone should be provided by the venue or organiser. Professional stage lighting is recommended but not always essential. Technical arrangements can be discussed in advance.


How much space do you need to perform?

Close-up magic requires no dedicated performance area, as I entertain guests at their tables or during receptions.

For stage performances, a clear area of approximately 3 × 3 metres is generally sufficient, depending on the show format and audience size. Good visibility for all guests is the main consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

One of the highlights of my career was performing on Croatia's Got Talent (Supertalent), where I reached the semi-finals. Performing for a television audience was a memorable experience, but some of my favourite moments have happened just a few feet away from guests at private and corporate events. Seeing genuine astonishment turn into laughter is something I never get tired of.


What's your favourite type of event?

I particularly enjoy corporate events and private celebrations where guests come together to share a special experience. Close-up magic is wonderful for breaking the ice and bringing people together, while a stage performance creates a moment everyone can enjoy at once. Every audience is different, and that's what makes each event interesting.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I've been performing magic and mentalism professionally for over 30 years, entertaining audiences internationally at corporate events, private celebrations and on television.

What began as a fascination with magic became a lifelong profession. Along the way, I've received three awards, reached the semi-finals of Croatia's Got Talent and developed a particular interest in psychology, perception and human behaviour.

Today, I combine those interests to create performances built around surprise, humour and genuine human connection.


What makes you different from others offering something similar?

For me, magic isn't just about tricks. It's about people.

With over 30 years of experience and a background in psychology, body language and human behaviour, I create performances where the guests become part of the experience rather than simply watching it.

I combine sophisticated magic, mentalism and humour with a relaxed, personal approach. Whether I'm entertaining six people around a table or an entire room, my goal is always the same: to create genuine reactions and moments people will talk about long after the event.


In which languages can you perform?

I perform professionally in English and French, making my shows particularly suitable for international corporate events, destination weddings and multicultural audiences. I can also incorporate selected words and interactions in other languages when appropriate.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Close-up magic requires very little setup. I usually arrive one hour before the performance to meet the organiser and familiarise myself with the venue.

Close-up performances typically last between 60 and 120 minutes, depending on the number of guests and event schedule.

My interactive stage show lasts approximately 25–30 minutes, with additional preparation time agreed in advance. Both formats can be combined for a complete evening of entertainment.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely. I regularly perform at outdoor receptions, terraces, weddings and private celebrations.

For close-up magic, a reasonably sheltered area is ideal, particularly in windy conditions. For stage performances, suitable weather protection, lighting and sound arrangements may be required.

I always adapt to the venue and conditions to ensure guests enjoy the best possible experience.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Entertaining, surprising, funny and genuinely engaging.

What people often appreciate most is the combination of impossible moments and spontaneous humour. Guests don't simply watch a magician perform; they become part of the experience.

The laughter is just as important as the astonishment, and the atmosphere remains relaxed, sophisticated and personal.


Can what you offer be tailored to the event or the audience?

Absolutely. Every event has its own atmosphere, audience and objectives.

For corporate events, I can incorporate company messages, products or themes into selected routines. For weddings and private celebrations, I adapt the performance to the guests, setting and occasion.

From intimate close-up magic to interactive stage mentalism and trade show entertainment, I work with the organiser to create an experience that feels natural, personal and memorable.


What makes your magic and mentalism suitable for corporate events?

My performances combine sophisticated magic, psychological illusion and humour to bring people together. Whether it's an executive dinner, company celebration or gala event, I adapt the experience to the audience, creating memorable moments without making guests feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.


Can you combine close-up magic with a stage performance?

Absolutely. One of my most popular formats combines close-up magic during the welcome reception or dinner with an interactive stage show later in the evening. It's an excellent way to create a complete entertainment experience, from personal moments with small groups to a shared finale for all your guests.


Do you offer specialised magic for trade shows and exhibitions?

Yes. I offer trade show magic designed to attract visitors, create conversations and make your brand more memorable. Selected routines can incorporate your company's products, key messages or campaign themes, helping your exhibition stand become a natural point of interest.
