VIDEOS – OLIVER HENKE | CLOSE-UP MAGIC & MENTALISM
See the work before you book it
Booking an act you have never seen is a leap of faith. These are recordings from real events — company evenings, weddings and stage shows — so you can judge the reactions rather than take my word for them.
Why watching helps
The reaction is the review
What a magician says about himself is worth very little. What the person holding the cards does with their face is worth a great deal — and that is the part these recordings show.
The short version
Watch how the group behaves when the trick lands, and how the room is left afterwards. None of this was staged for a camera; the camera simply happened to be there.
Everything here is close-up work at arm’s length, with ordinary cards and coins that went round the table beforehand. The mentalism is announced as a trick, because that is what it is.
Forty-six seconds
If you only watch one, make it this one.
Corporate events
Christmas parties, customer evenings and anniversaries — close-up magic between the courses.
Weddings & private celebrations
During the reception, the photo session, or between the courses.
Stage & mentalism
Thirty to fifty minutes for the whole room, once everyone is seated.
An evening that leaves questions.
Send me the occasion, your preferred date and a rough guest count. I will come back with a suggestion that fits your running order — usually within a day.
