Magician Heidelberg: the moment even researchers run out of explanations

German Champion of Magic, booked by EMBL, DKFZ, SRH and TEDx Heidelberg. On the Neckar every winter, on Heidelberg’s corporate stages all year round.

Magician Heidelberg for corporate parties, galas and summer events: German Champion of Magic Felix Gauger turns your event into the evening your guests still talk about weeks later.

Heidelberg is the city where, at every second company party, someone is standing in the room whose job is explaining things nobody else understands. That is exactly what makes the evening. Because at some point the mood tips, somebody says "that is not possible", and the whole table stops talking about anything else.

Felix Gauger reads minds. He names the number your managing director was thinking of, and it has been written on a slip of paper lying in plain sight since the start of the evening. As German Champion of Magic he has been performing since 2007, and he knows that a Heidelberg audience is the best thing that can happen to a mentalist: attentive, sceptical, and all the more won over afterwards.

He has worked for EMBL, DKFZ, SRH and TEDx Heidelberg, and for SAP and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen from the wider region. Clients for whom a pleasant card trick is not enough.

Summer party in the garden, Christmas party in the hall, reception before the keynote: you get a performance built around your occasion, not a set programme. A 5.0 rating from more than 70 Google reviews says the rest.

EMBL, DKFZ, SRH, TEDx: Heidelberg has already seen Felix Gauger

At EMBL and DKFZ, people are paid to take phenomena apart until nothing inexplicable is left. Felix Gauger has performed for both. For SRH as well, and at TEDx Heidelberg in front of an audience that had come expecting surprises in the first place. SAP and Heidelberger Druckmaschinen followed from the wider region.

The difference between a magician who also travels to Heidelberg and one who gets booked in Heidelberg does not show in the programme, it shows in the room. A scientific audience cannot be talked into anything, it can only be convinced. Someone who has passed that test several times is a safe choice for your event too.

Winterzauber on the Neckar: the show Heidelberg boards a ship for

Every winter the Weisse Flotte casts off in Heidelberg for an evening cruise where, between the courses of the menu, things happen that are even less possible on a boat than on land. Felix Gauger performs the magic programme of the Winterzauber, year after year, while the Neckar valley passes by outside.

That means two things for you. First, you can watch the show before you book it. Second, anyone who can carry a whole evening on a moving ship, with changing light, engine noise and guests seated at long tables, will have your venue under control.

Three formats that fit any Heidelberg evening

Close-up magic at the table. Felix moves from group to group, right in front of your guests. Cards transform in other people’s hands, signed coins appear where they cannot be. Ideal for receptions and for long dinners where the gaps between courses would otherwise go flat. See how that works in practice in the report from the summer party at Bonsai Zentrum.

Stage show and mentalism. 20 to 45 minutes of mind reading, predictions and comedy with timing. For 30 to 500 guests, with the technical set-up on site or without it. The item on the agenda that outlives the speeches.

Walking act and trade fair appearance. Magic as a crowd magnet, with your product built into the routine on request. Passers-by become spectators, spectators become conversations for your team. In the Rhine-Neckar region and across Germany.

The good dates in Heidelberg go first

Summer parties fall in the same four weeks, Christmas parties in the same two. Felix Gauger gives away the Fridays in December first, often as early as September.

Frequently asked questions about a magician in Heidelberg

What does a magician in Heidelberg cost? It depends on the programme, the length and the number of guests. After a first conversation you receive a fixed quote with no hidden items, travel from Darmstadt included.

How long does the show run? Close-up magic at the table typically runs 60 to 120 minutes in several rounds, the stage show 20 to 45 minutes. The two combine and fit around your schedule.

How many guests are possible? From a board dinner of twelve to a company party of 500. The number matters less than the room, and we look at the room together beforehand.

Do I need a stage and technical equipment? No. If equipment is there, it gets used. If not, the show works anyway. Both have happened on board the Weisse Flotte.

Can I see the show before booking? Yes. Felix Gauger performs publicly at the Winterzauber of the Weisse Flotte, every winter on the Neckar. Tickets are available directly from the operator.

Do you travel outside Heidelberg? Yes. Heidelberg, Mannheim, Weinheim, Walldorf, Sinsheim and the whole Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, plus Frankfurt, Darmstadt and all of Germany.

Why event organisers in Heidelberg book this magician

German Champion of Magic is awarded by a professional jury. You are not booking a hobby magician with good marketing, you are booking a performer who won a competition.

Heidelberg is about 45 minutes from Darmstadt. No overnight surcharge, no debate about the last train, no surprise on the invoice.

Running order, time slot, technical needs and price are fixed before you book. You get an offer, not a price range.

Not a single outlier. The same sentence keeps coming back in the reviews: we should have booked him for longer.
