Discover the genius for yourself and see first hand the theatrical brilliance of Germany’s Gaston LIVE at IMX!

This time – we’ve headed to Spain … and are bringing you pasteboard king, Dani DaOrtiz, who some say may be the illegitimate child of Juan Tamariz and Lennart Green.

Dani combines superb technique with crazy humour. He is truly another of the great card workers that Spain has given to the world … David Williamson says it all: “Dani is not only a product of the “Spanish School” of card magic, with masters such as Ascanio and Tamariz as his influences, he is also the product of the ethereal mixture of biology, psychology, stardust and unicorn tears that produces genius.”

The critics rave, the pros are in awe and you’ll have the opportunity of learning firsthand from this incredible performer LIVE at IMX 2012.

The International Youth Magic Championships will provide the support needed for magic’s shining stars to reach the next level of world-class performance.

David Blaine described Lennart Green as one of the few performers who convince people they are watching real magic. Don’t miss the incredible opportunity to witness the sheer genius of one of magic’s living treasures – Lennart Green – LIVE at IMX 2012.

“Of the great magicians that I have admired, Lennart makes people feel as though they are witnessing real magic.”- David BlaineSwedish card trick maestro Lennart Green has been baffling audiences for years with card tricks that seem barely under control. In 1991 he won the grand prize in close-up card magic from FISM. He might have won it in 1985 too, except his act of seemingly impossible cardplay fooled even the judges.

His interest in magic began with several small tricks and puzzles that his mother showed him. Not knowing any other magicians he began to develop his own methods for card effects. For a period he worked in a mental hospital. The night shift gave him to the time to practice his sleight of hand. Similar work at a prison gave him the opportunity to try out his routines on the inmates. He specialized in impossible locations and ways of bringing shuffled decks back to numerical order. It was a brand of magic that would later make him famous among magicians.

Lennart studied medicine and became a doctor but in 1992, following his FISM win, he gave it up and became a professional magician. His performances are in demand all over the world, from high society functions at private clubs to the TED conference the video of which brought Lennart to a whole new audience.

2011 Magic Circle Close-up Magician of the Year. 2009 IBM Close-Up Champion. Star of Penn & Teller’s Fool Us … and creator of Piff the Magic Dragon. John van der Put is a magic tour de force.

“One of the most magical things we’ve ever seen” – Penn & TellerJohn has worked as an award-winning contemporary magician for the past ten years, establishing a unique fusion of magic, comedy & artistic performance.

His latest creation saw him storm the world with Piff the Magic Dragon – an award-winning stand up act, combining delightfully deadpan charm and stunning magic.

He has appeared in the West End, embarked on a sell-out run in Australia, and is currently on a fifty-date UK theatre tour as part of An Evening of Burlesque. Piff’s recent appearance on Penn and Teller: Fool Us was an instant hit, going viral and racking up half a million views on YouTube in three days. He was the hit of the past Edinburgh Festival.

A staple of the UK cabaret scene, Piff’s debut show, Piff-Tacular, scooped Fringe Festival’s Best Comedy award and broke the Edinburgh Fringe record for highest box office. He returned the following year with PIFF-TACULAR 2: Get Rich or Die Trying at Just the Tonic, awarded ‘Top Three Picks of the Fringe’ by The One Show, BBC.

Every hero needs a sidekick, and it was during 2009 that Piff acquired Mr Piffles, the World’s First Levitating Chihuahua. Inseparable ever since, little Piffilicious now earns his kibble charming damsels up and down the country and relieving himself on any microphone stands that get in the way.
