3 options:
Risto Leppänen Magicomedy Show
Magic, humor and audience participation. Risto`s Stand-up magic act lasts for 15-35 minutes and can be performed for hundreds of guests. It is also possible to tailor the show to highlight your key message or product in a memorable way.
Close-up Magic
Truly flexible option suited for almost any event. Risto can perform from table to table or mix and mingle with your guests at cocktail parties. Everything happens right under the noses of participants and sometimes even in their own hands. Close-up magic is an ideal way to break the ice and bring people together in shared laughter and surprise.
Close-up / Stand-up Combination
The best result is achieved by first warming up the audience with some Close-up magic. The magical evening is then brought to a climax with magic on the stage.
