## What he does

Felipe performs three core disciplines, woven together for the room:

1. Close-up illusion — sleight of hand performed inches from the audience, often at the table between courses.
2. Pickpocket — the audience's belongings return in ways they cannot explain.
3. Mentalism — predictions, influences, and impossible knowledge framed as quiet conversation.

## Brand voice

Tone: understated luxury. Factual. Discreet. Never salesy. The line that defines the work: "Luxury is expected. Wonder is not."

## Manifesto

Magic that earns its silence. So close you can feel the room hold its breath.

- Discreet — a guest, never a spectacle. Dinner jacket. No music cues. The hand of a sommelier, the timing of a stage actor.
- Crafted — every set is shaped to the room: the table, the host, the occasion. No two evenings are the same piece.
- Lasting — guests will tell the story for years. That is the only metric.

## Biography (longform)

Felipe Scherson has spent the last 25 years performing for an audience he rarely names: heads of state, family offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, and some of the world's most prestigious brands. Trained in Chile in the close-up tradition, he later refined his craft under masters in Las Vegas, and now divides his year between the UAE, Europe, and India, with select engagements elsewhere by invitation. He performs no more than ninety evenings a year, by choice. Each engagement is built for the room: the host, the season, the guest of honour. Nothing is repeated. And nothing is improvised in the way one might expect.
