About Pad Alexander:

Pad discovered his passion for magic at an early age. What began with a magic kit gifted on his 8th birthday and small performances for family has grown into a magical entertainment show for all ages. For him, an illusion is no longer just a simple trick. Pad Alexander is a true artist. «To make an illusion work for the audience, knowing a trick is not enough,» he says. Controlled (body) language, skill, and extensive knowledge of human psychology are the ingredients he combines. The result? “Oh!” and “Ahh!” from the audience. And that’s exactly what they want: to have their senses deceived and to lose the ability to distinguish between reality and illusion.
