Sebastian Lebenslauf.indd - Sebastian Nicolas

Enthusiastic fans throughout the world
revel in his surrealistic, classic artistry
which above all in Asia brings audiences
to their feet with standing ovations
and hymns of praise. Nicolas‘ s speciality
is manipulation, in other words classical
magic which brings about mysterious
miracles solely by the deftness of the
hands. In his shows one seeks in vain for
young ladies being
sawn up or pierced with swords in special
boxes and exaggerated technical
effects. Sebastian Nicolas is simply a
modern master of the age-old skill of
sleight of hand. The long forgotten secret
of ancient magic is reborn in his mystical
shows interpreted in a new con-
temporary manner.
With his assured sense of style, the
magician - mysterious, romantic and
enigmatic - presents himself in a smart
black suit, with black hair and a penetrating
look. His perfect technique in combination
with his stage presence and
charisma permit magic to be revived in
the form in which it has been embodied
for thousands of years: astonishment
about the incomprehensible, real magic,
romantic and exciting in a world of
the ubiquitous technical tricks of today.
Sebastian Nicolas‘s magic is founded on
his unique ability, an ability that can dispense
with cheap technical tricks and is
at the same time far removed from dusty
rabbits drawn out of top-hats.
The dazzling young magician stages
his shows as classical and weightless
choreographies in which the laws of reality
appear to have been suspended.
Watches appear, disappear or turn to
dust, playing cards bob up from nowhere,
in its flight from one hand to the other
a ball changes into a pocket watch. With
a love of detail, striking ideas and enjoyment
in the orchestration, Sebastian
Nicolas manipulates not only the time
but also the comprehension of his onlookers.
The audience is bathed in alternating
emotions. Nicolas knows how to
touch the hearts of his audience and to
spirit them away into mysterious and
magical lands before then in the next
moment releasing the pent-up excitement
in liberating laughter.
