About the performance

In January 2020, I presented 21 solo performances over seven days in the Magic Castle's Close-Up Gallery in Hollywood.

The piece combined close-up magic and card magic with a story shaped by childhood memories and the landscape of the Atacama Desert. Proximity to the audience was central to the experience, in a room created specifically for small-scale illusionism.

The season marked a milestone in my international career and brought a work developed in Atacama to one of the world's most recognised specialist venues for magic.
