Helder Guimaraes
Helder Guimarães
His explosive combination of technique & irreverent sense of humour have earned him countless awards across the globe. Helder is considered to be one of the leading experts in sleight of hand and delivers a performance that defies belief.
“In 2006, a young card magician named Helder Guimaraes took the FISM competition by storm and became the World Champion in Card Magic. His style is engaging, his moves are clean, and his magic is powerful.”Hailing from Portugul with a degree in the dramatic arts – he is a student of magic – understanding the true art of conjuring. A brilliant thinker and incredible performer Helder Guimarães is not to be missed!
Helder Guimarães was born infected with the virus of magic. To make even stronger the paternal genetic heritage, he was forced to attend the FISM World Congress 1982 (Lausanne) inside his maternal Belly. And at the age of 3 days he had to go through a fastidious photographic session in which his father (the photographer) insisted on having him (the model) manipulating some playing cards. Destiny was written, at least with a pencil. This “destiny” ended up with good results and, at the age of 23, he was proclaimed World Champion of Card Magic 2006 (Stockholm).
Helder is undoubtedly one of the finest sleight of hand artists in the world & never ceases to amaze … Dan & Dave sum it up, “He has it all: knowledge, skill, showmanship, style, experience, and a passion for the art.”
