I'll reply within 24 hours.
At the reception I move from group to group. Short, visual pieces give guests who have never met a shared moment. At dinner I come to the tables between courses: five to ten minutes per table, stronger pieces. It brings energy into a long evening.
What guests take home
The piece itself lasts a minute. What stays is the conversation afterwards: colleagues from different offices comparing what they saw, guests who had not spoken all evening suddenly debating how it was done. For international teams that is the point. Close-up magic needs very little language, so everyone at the table is part of it, whatever their German.
The package Hautnah
Reception and table magic together form the package Hautnah. If the schedule slips, I bridge up to thirty minutes with extra table magic. Add the stage show and it becomes Unvergesslich, the package booked most often.

About Nevio
A magician of the new generation
Nevio belongs to the new generation of Swiss performance artists. He discovered magic at the age of four and has worked on its many forms ever since, winning several international awards along the way.
At only 14 he created his first full-length stage show: Kultur im Bären sold out to the last seat.
Magic as an art form is only part of it. His interest in philosophy, contemporary dance and theatre shapes effects that entertain and stay with people afterwards.
