Magic Showdown – Learn to Perform Magic!

Meet the 2022 Micromagic World Championship runner‑up Jacob Schenström, and get ready for a magical experience that will challenge both your mind and your dexterity.

Initially, Jacob treats you to a brief yet unforgettable magic performance where you’ll undoubtedly question your own senses. Then, he transitions into a talk on the psychology behind magic, where first, he explains why we are deceived and second, how our attention is directed. Next, he provides clear examples of why we can’t always trust our memories. During the presentation, you will also learn a trick from the ground up, giving you hands‑on insight into how illusions really work.

Afterwards, you’ll be divided into teams, and each team will receive materials and instructions to master their own magic routine. Throughout the practice session, Jacob will guide you continuously so that you both improve and have fun. When the teams feel ready, the workshop concludes with each group performing for one another. Finally, a winning team is crowned in a lighthearted competition that boosts both collaboration and creativity.

Beyond the team workshop, you can opt to add mingling magic during your pre‑dinner drinks or table magic during the meal. You can also combine multiple elements, thereby tailoring the format entirely to your event. The result is a seamless, flexible, and unforgettable all‑around experience.

“We hired Jacob for a magical team exercise teaching us tricks. It was a tremendous success! Jacob is energetic, engaging, and involves the entire audience. Highly recommended!”
