Felix Gauger performs miracles in the hands of guests
Table magic is often referred to as close-up magic. It is particularly powerful because the performer moves from group to group, entertaining guests individually at their tables. This allows the audience to be close to the magic and experience it up close.
Close-up magic brings the art and fun right to the guests. With incredible effects, the magic even happens in the hands of the audience. With this personalised magic, your guests are the centre of attention and each guest gets their own individual show.
Felix's close-up magic is particularly powerful as he combines magic with pickpocketing, mentalism and lots of gags.
Perhaps the most fascinating form of magic, Felix's closeness to the audience allows him to interact directly with them, responding spontaneously to his guests.
Felix Gauger blends into the crowd, bridging waiting times, spreading good humour and getting your guests talking. Close-up magic can be performed almost anywhere as no large props are required. Duration depends on the number of people in the audience and can range from 45 minutes to several hours over the course of the evening. Felix carries everything with him and therefore needs very few props to make the magic happen. He mix and mingles with the audience and wows even the most sceptical guests.
The Close Up is most often booked as a walking act, where the magician moves from group to group. However, it is also possible for Felix to stand at one table and have guests walk by to experience the magic.

No stage, technology or set-up necessary, as Felix mingles from guest to guest.
Felix has a keen sense of where the magic fits and who is caught up in the conversation.
The artist switches between German and English as required, and the magic at the table works almost without language.
Felix is happy to use the branded card game with your logo or conjure up unique company souvenirs.
After or before the stage show, you get the maximum entertainment and amazement..
Since Felix has been in show business for 20 years, he has a large network of artists, photographers, DJs and other performers. Take a look to see if one of his colleagues appeals to you, or ask directly which artist is from your area and can enchant you.
The association for magicians is called the Magic Circle of Germany. Felix has been a member of the Magic Circle since 2008 and has successfully passed the theoretical and practical exams.
Magic is a form of entertainment. It uses the principles of trickery to enchant guests. However, it has nothing to do with any kind of fortune telling, esoteric events, runes, divining rods, chakra events or similar absurd things. This may sound obvious, but it is not taken for granted in all cultures. The magician has already performed magic in other cultures and first had to make it clear that these are just tricks, a means to an end of good entertainment. Felix cannot really stop time, travel through space and time, or do any of the other things he claims to do on stage to make the audience think.
Mental magic is a form of magic that uses suggestion, psychology, and influence to read minds, make predictions, and trick the human mind. It is an extremely powerful form of magic and is often referred to as the mature form of magic (Kuch, 2014). Psychological themes are often incorporated into the magic act, thought experiments are performed and effects with mind-reading.
Good entertainment creates a lasting memory for your guests, who will remember it for a long time to come. In order to make you a suitable offer, Felix needs to know the date, location, number of people and the desired program.
"There is hardly anything in this world that someone can't make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and people who are only guided by price become the fair prey of such people.
It is unwise to pay too much, but it is even worse to pay too little. If you pay too much, you lose some money, that's all. If, on the other hand, you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the purchased item cannot fulfill its intended purpose. The law of economics forbids getting a lot of value for little money. If you accept the lowest offer, you have to add something for the risk you are taking. And if you do that, you will have enough money to pay for something better." (John Ruskin, English social reformer, 1819-1900)
For your children's birthday party, Felix will be happy to put you in touch with a colleague who specializes in a children's program.
