René
specialises in close-up or walk-around magic. This means
that everything he does is performed up close to the
spectators, sometimes even in their hands. All the props
(cards, banknotes, elastic bands, etc.) are stored in
his pockets as he walks around greeting guests with
incredible magic. This form of entertainment is good
for 'breaking the ice' at formal cocktail parties and
weddings where the guests do not necessarily know each
other. Anything can happen: balls multiply in the spectators'
hands, signed cards are mysteriously found stuck to
the ceiling, wedding rings penetrate through the wall
of a balloon and all sorts of other funny things happen
while the guests stand and watch in amazement.
As
a strolling close-up magician, René performs
for groups of guests standing in small groups or sitting
at tables. Individuals actively participate and most
of the time the magic happens right under their noses.
The intimate setting assures that the illusions are
even stronger and no one can say it was all done with
camera tricks.
Close-up
magic is ideally suited to larger venues without a stage
or for events held in a series of adjoining rooms. These
could be cocktail parties and receptions. René
can interrupt his performance at any time if there are
speeches, etc. He can perform to about 40 people per
hour in this way.
