Reflection of the impossible
About
Reflection of the impossible
🪄 Starring Hernan Maccagno, direct from Argentina!
His last name is difficult to pronounce, and his magic is hard to describe. He’s a marvel, an artist who breathes magic, who never stops exploring, who studies everything he can get his hands on, and it shows on stage. He came to magic “late,” he was 30 when he started, but he says it was the perfect time. He has a weekly web series called Magiemos (Let’s Magic) that airs for free on Thursdays at 8 pm through his social media channels. Hernan will be bringing three different presentations to this year’s Melbourne Magic Festival.
A collection of routines using diverse props such as cups, cards, coins, and more, all designed to reveal the invisible world around us. What we see now can disappear as naturally as objects we don’t see become visible.
Throughout this agile and ingenious show, the magician presents us with the existence of a visible world and an invisible one, guiding us constantly through a dazzling sensory journey. The visible world is a reflection of the invisible, and magic unfolds in the continuous transition from one to the other. An ingenious, varied, and entertaining show for all audiences.
