A brand new family show
I AM NOT A SPY. THIS IS A MAGIC SHOW.
9.00pm nightly from July 7 to 11
This is definitely a magic and mentalism show. It is not a covert operation. Any “classified files” are props. Any “agents” are audience volunteers. Any impossibly accurate predictions are… um… stagecraft. Pure mentalism. It’s just your typical comedic noir magic show, packed with capers, laughs, twists, and totally non-suspicious mind games. Not a femme fatale spy on a top-secret mission that innocent bystanders might incidentally be drawn into.

From Magical Katrina:

“Growing up, I was always enchanted by the idea of witches in film and TV. They were powerful, independent women who wielded magic, and I admired that deeply. This fascination with magical women sparked my interest in the world of magic. I remember thinking how incredible it would be to become a witch myself, to have that kind of power and mystique. It was this childhood dream that led me down the path to becoming a magician. first foray into the world of performance was at 18, where I started as a princess at children’s parties. This experience was my stepping stone into magic. I learned early on how to engage an audience, especially the little ones, and how to bring stories to life through my performances.

It wasn’t just about doing tricks; it was about creating an enchanting experience.

But being a female magician hasn’t been a smooth ride. The magic industry, like many others, can sometimes be unwelcoming to women. I’ve faced my fair share of underestimation and bias. There have been times when I’ve been told that my achievements were due to my gender rather than my hard work and talent. Online bullying and dismissive comments from peers in the industry were disheartening, but they also steeled my resolve. Despite these challenges, my love for magic has never waned. Magic, for me, is about inspiring people, bringing them joy, making them laugh, and, most importantly, bringing them together. It’s about recreating that sense of wonder I felt as a child, watching those powerful witches on screen. Every performance I give is crafted with this in mind – to create a memorable, joyful, and awe-inspiring experience for my audience.As a magician, I offer a range of performances, from corporate events to private parties. I specialize in close-up magic and stage illusions, always striving to make each performance interactive and immersive.

My style is a blend of traditional magic with a twist of modern storytelling and humor. I believe magic is more than just tricks; it’s about creating moments of connection and astonishment. I’m proud of how I’ve used magic to transcend everyday experiences, to offer a space for people to escape, even briefly, from the ordinary. To my potential clients, followers, and fans, know that my work is driven by a deep passion for magic and a commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences. I’m continually pushing the boundaries of magic, exploring new methods, and ensuring that every performance is unique and engaging.

As a woman in magic, I hope to inspire others, showing that the magic industry is for everyone. My journey has been about overcoming challenges, staying true to my passion, and proving that hard work and talent are what truly define success in this field. Magic is about wonder, joy, and togetherness, and that’s the heart of everything I do.”
