Abracadabra

Forget all the preconceived ideas you have about magic. Miles away from old-fashioned spectacles, stereotypes and outdated decor, The Magician makes magic shows hip again. Enter the chic NoMad hotel. Imposing fireplace, red velvet benches, cozy atmosphere. A hostess in a Charleston dress welcomes you with a card game and invites you to explore the second floor of the hotel. Get lost in the corridors, go past room 213 to discover a hidden theater, transformed into a cabaret from the 20s. Take a seat and order a cocktail – we recommend the Golden Pineapples served in a large vintage shaker in the shape of pineapple.

Forget all the clichés about the great prestidigitators – from Houdini to David Copperfield. When Dan White appears, it is as a sleek thirty-something dandy, dressed in a three-piece suit who stands in front you. He’s also an outstanding illusionist. He revisits some classics: making cards vanish right under your eyes, making a woman levitate a few inches from you. Fighting for his discipline’s renewal, Dan White does not hesitate to innovate and use new technologies in his tricks. No rabbits out of a hat but high-tech sleight of hand with your iPhone.

Forget all your certainties and Cartesian beliefs. Everything will elude your powers of comprehension. How does the wedding band of a member of the audience end up sealed to the stem of a wine glass at the other end of the room in a few minutes? How does a printed Powerball lottery ticket reveal the 6 numbers randomly called out by the audience a few seconds earlier? The public is stunned, the mystery is complete. It’s (almost) annoying. You will be bewitched by Dan White during the hour and a half of his performance. You’ll come out of theNoMad hotel captivated by the art of magic and fascinated by the aesthetics of illusion.
