Varietee MAGICA 2011 thanks for the overwhelming response from it`s audiences, the 10th fabulous Varietee MAGICA show in Nov-Dec 2012 !

"Thank you for the splendid Variete Magica Show !

It is wonderful that we do not have to encumber our carbon foot prints and credit card balances with a trip to Vegas to experience high level entertainment. Its being brought right to our door step in Helsinki Finland Nov thru Dec 10th 2011.

Many people know how to perform magic tricks but the masters are few and far between.

Add to that the music, the dance, the lights, and the narration and you get a whole package that exceeds the sum of its parts; a composition that competes with those of Wagner. You simply don't see this normally in Finland. Thank you for putting in the energy for yet another show!

Varietee Magica sure is an antidote for the Finnish winter darkness; the timing is simply perfect.

Our favorite was once again, the Korean wonder worker An Ha Lim. There is something very deep in him that shines through his novel yet youthful appearance. The playing cards burst into bloom in his hands, just like a tree reveals its leaves on accelerated footage in a nature program; amazing and hypnotically beautiful. He makes time stand still. Once a master; always a master!

Juggling Tango Emily and Menno van Dyke brought sensitivity and attraction to the show; a splendid idea to merge a dramatic tango performance with an astounding juggling act.

The jocular Levent established a close and sensitive contact with the audience. He won their hearts and his nice words spoken in Finnish brought him some well earned brownie points. A skillful magician and a baffling comedian all in one package. The audience came along every inch of the way.

The director and the producer of the show as well as the master of ceremonies Timo Kulmakko was entertaining as always. His tribute to Houdini was a great move, and the trick in and of itself simply baffling.

Thank you for the splendid Varietee Magica 2011 Show ! "

Varietee MAGICA 2009 Spectator Comment

Both my companion and I considered this years Varietee MAGICA 2009 to be even stronger than the earlier ones. The first clear reason for this is the contribution of the High Heels dance group. They brought a central element to the show; dance, beauty, and a time to relax. The dances give an opportunity to be laid back, and step down your attention level. - Magic requires a high level of attention...

Having a most charming personality An Ha Lim came out as our definitive favorite amongst the magicians. His tricks were miraculous, and it did not matter that he essentially showed variations of card manifestations over and over again. – We loved it. The Korean culture manifests elegant simplicity. The performance was a form of visual poetry; a summation of precise mimics and gestures.

The Ukrainian Victor Voitko stopped with his dreamlike illusion the movement of time, as it seemed. A beautiful and miraculous performance, that appeared to defy the laws of nature. The journey of a sleeping beauty beyond the world of the possible, formed one of the most unforgettable scenes of the show.

Charlie Frye & Co with their comic act was simply magnificent. He is also an incredibly skilled juggler, with the confidence of a performer who is on the stage 330 times a year.

The host,producer and director of the show, Timo Kulmakko, was very effective in building a seamless communiqué between these international stars and the Finnish audience. Also the introduction of Harry Houdini formed a strong approach that formed a brilliant visual as well as intellectual outline of the show.

All in all the Varietee MAGICA 2009 at Hotel President in Helsinki is an inspiring ride on a magic carpet over the land of illusion, magic, and showmanship. A flight that leaves you longing for more. - Close to perfection.
