Close-up Illusion & Mentalism

With Carlos Vaquera

What if one of the great names in illusion came to surprise your guests, right before their very eyes?

During the cocktail reception or meal, Carlos Vaquera doesn't just perform for the guests: he mingles with them. From just inches away, objects, cards and perceptions become the starting point for experiences co-created with them.

Each interaction is brief, interactive and unique. Reactions spark curiosity, conversations continue, and the magic blends naturally into the rhythm of the event.
