Teun Rookus: Connect Guests with Walkabout Magic
Artiest · Sleen
Not every magician brings people closer together! As a walkabout close-up magician, I move among your guests and create wonder right before their eyes.
A great performance isn't about the perfect trick. It's about what happens after the wonder: colleagues suddenly striking up conversations, guests who barely know each other sharing an experience they'll talk about for ages. My name is Teun Rookus, professional close-up magician with over 10 years of experience — and a Master of Science in Psychology. You won't hear about that combination during a performance, but you'll definitely feel it. I have an intuitive sense of when a group needs a laugh, when they need amazement, and when someone deserves a moment in the spotlight. That's why it lands with everyone: management and interns, grandma and the kids alike. My specialty is magic just inches away, with nothing more than my hands, a few cards, and some coins. No big box of tricks, no performance that demands attention — but an experience that gets conversations flowing. Every group is different, so no two performances are the same: I respond to the atmosphere, the pace, and the people in front of me. You don't have to take my word for it: "We hired Teun for a group dinner with 250 people. It was a huge success and everyone was a big fan and thoroughly impressed by all the tricks. Definitely recommended!!!" — Jamie Bruinink, Van der Valk Hotel Lelystad · group dinner 250 people (★★★★★ Google) "Teun performed as a table magician at our company party. Incredibly fun and especially connecting for the guests. Our guests' reactions were full of amazement and enthusiasm. Brilliantly done!" — Serge Beukers, company party (★★★★★ Google) "By walking around and 'surprising' both children and adults with great magic tricks, he conjured a big smile on everyone's face. Highly recommended!" — Emile Petiet, family day (★★★★★ Google) What kind of event? My close-up magic works perfectly as an icebreaker during drinks, reception, walking dinner, or between courses. Popular at corporate events, staff parties, networking events, receptions, anniversaries, weddings, and family days — from intimate gatherings to dinners with hundreds of guests. I regularly perform at hotels and hospitality and event venues, so professional collaboration with your venue is seamless. What you can expect from me: • A performance tailored to your guests — not a standard show. • Entertainment that runs itself: you don't need to announce or organize anything. • Always personal contact beforehand, so it fits seamlessly into your program. • Suitable for indoors and outdoors, in Dutch, English, or Portuguese. There are many magicians who show tricks. My goal is different: I want your guests to go home feeling they've experienced something special together. Want to discuss whether it fits your event?
