A show by Nigel Otermans – highly recommended!
If you love spectacle, magic, and an evening where you can really unwind, then a show by Nigel Otermans is an absolute must-see. Just buy your tickets before you forget, because they often sell out fast!
You can’t believe your eyes (seriously)!
Nigel has become the Dutch champion of illusionism (with Hans Klok on the judging panel, who called him a “super talent”), and that’s reflected in his shows. Grand illusions like floating people, lightning-fast transformations, and things that literally happen right before your eyes. It’s executed so quickly and precisely that you constantly find yourself thinking, “Wait a minute… how did that happen?!” You rediscover that childlike sense of wonder, and it’s addictive.
It’s a complete experience, not just a few tricks!
His current show (like “De Tijdreiziger”) is truly a story featuring more than 20 amazing illusions, beautiful sets, his Wonder Girls, and a sort of mini-time travel experience. It doesn’t feel like a string of individual magic tricks, but rather like a real theater show with glamour, humor, and suspense. Whether you’re sitting in Valkenburg, Amsterdam (Harbour Club), at the Preston Palace, or in a theater: it’s a celebration every time.
He’s young, full of energy, and he’s just doing a fantastic job!
Nigel is still very young, but he’s already appeared on TV (Beau, HLF8, etc.), won awards, and is building a really cool career. When Nigel takes the stage, one thing is certain: you can’t believe your eyes. You can feel that he puts 200% passion into it. The audience laughs, screams, and claps like crazy… and afterward, you walk out with that happy, amazed feeling: “Wow, that was amazing.”
