Dizzyingly nimble fingers
Tonne guest performance
Helge Thun is close: close to the audience and even closer to himself. Close to the perfect trick and even closer to failure. Close to what he always wanted and even closer to what he was always afraid of. Close to a cozy evening among friends and even closer to a heart attack from adrenaline.
The seven-time German champion of card, comedy and close-up magic doesn't play it safe, he plays it risky. Because only then can he show what he himself would like to see.
It is the thrill of the trick, which no one can do, that puts him in a tense, relaxed state of anticipation.
The anticipation of the audience's enthusiasm, which magically transforms into the artist's inner euphoria. But of course he doesn't let that show.
"In short, Thun is funnier than Copperfield and looks just as good." -Schwäbisches Tagblatt
"Either way, no matter how it turns out, Helge Thun is a brilliant manipulator and improviser." -Südwestpresse
