Magical Gathering

Author and networker Clemens Trischler invited - together with the reigning world champions of mental magic, Anca and Lucca Lucian - to the fifth event of the “Austrian Gentlemen's Club,” this time held at Magic World Vienna on Riesenradplatz. Since its opening in June of last year, the venue has captivated audiences with monthly-changing magic variety shows such as “The World’s Best Magic,” “Anca & Lucca,” “Magic for Kids,” and “Magic 1 - The World Champions Birthday Show,” drawing over 35,000 enthusiastic visitors to date.

In the style of traditional English “Institution Clubs,” opinion leaders from the arts, culture, and business sectors came together in an exclusive and relaxed setting to network and exchange ideas. Lifestyle, indulgence, and top-class entertainment were also central to the evening.

“We’re very proud to have offered a sneak peek of the April lineup of ‘The World’s Best Magic Show’ tonight,” said Lucca Lucian, presenting a program featuring three world champions of magic. “With Mortenn Christiansen, world champion of comedy magic, a true audience favorite is returning to our stage. South Korean artist An Ha Lim takes the art of card manipulation to an explosive level, while Gonzalo Albiñana blends magic and shadow play into a poetic theatrical performance. And last but not least, Artistic Director Artem Shchukin will personally present his award-winning manipulation act along with his new comedy magic number.”

“The Austrian Gentlemen’s Club stands for inspiration, networking, and extraordinary experiences. I’m especially pleased that we’re not only offering our guests world-class entertainment, but also a platform for meaningful conversations and new connections,” said organizer Clemens Trischler.
