Christian Lavey, a Luxembourg-based mentalist and psychological illusionist, is an award-winning entertainer who performs internationally on cruise ships, at festivals, and for corporate events. Voted Artist of the Year in 2021, Christian is known for his captivating blend of mind-reading, psychology, and interactive entertainment. His performances are designed to leave lasting memories by engaging audiences in ways that go beyond traditional magic tricks.
He also shared a bit about how he first got into magic, recalling how he learned the art from his grandfather, who was a magician himself. Christian revealed some of the ‘secrets’ of the magician’s code, emphasising the importance of mystery and wonder in creating a magical experience. But, not everything always goes according to plan on stage and Christian was open about that too. He shared some of the challenges that can arise during live performances and how improvisation and quick thinking are often key to keeping the magic alive when things don’t go as expected.
Fancy catching Christian in action? He will be performing a family show in Vianden on Saturday 13 December before jetting off around the globe on another cruise ship adventure. Check out his website for more information.
