Three ways to play it
A conference in Ørestad, a julefrokost in a hotel banqueting room, a launch in a design showroom: Danish events tend to be relaxed, with little hierarchy, which suits participation. The format follows the flow of your evening.
Julefrokost and receptions
Between the herring and the dessert, or while guests are still standing with a drink, Isma moves from table to table. Each group gets its own moment: a thought read, a borrowed object that vanishes, a prediction that was there all along.
Over one to three hours, scaled to your guest list.
Conferences and kick-offs
On stage for 20 to 45 minutes, with volunteers who step up from their seats while the rest of the room guesses along. Use it to launch a conference day at Bella Center or to end a kick-off on a high before dinner.
A mic and some space in front of the guests will do.
Tech and life sciences
For tech start-ups, pharma teams or a company tech day, Isma, an artificial intelligence engineer, puts human intuition and machine prediction side by side, live. Find out more about the AI magic show.
A fit for product launches and digital days.
Tell Isma about your audience and running order: he will help you choose, with no commitment. For a company event, see also corporate magician and mentalist.
Copenhagen and the Øresund region
A flight from Paris takes roughly two hours, and the M2 metro line runs from the airport to Kongens Nytorv in about a quarter of an hour. Most Danes are at ease in English, so a show in English is easy to follow for local and international teams alike.
Ørestad
Between the city centre and the airport, Bella Center hosts international congresses, the CIFF fashion fair during Copenhagen Fashion Week in February and August, and the TechBBQ start-up summit in late summer. It also stages company Christmas parties.
Banquets in town
Tivoli Hotel and Congress Center by the harbour, Nimb inside Tivoli Gardens and Hotel d’Angleterre on Kongens Nytorv are typical settings for conferences, banquets and julefrokost evenings.
Harbour and headquarters
A private canal boat, a canteen in Nordhavn or a meeting room in Hellerup: with no stage to set up, Isma can perform wherever your team gathers, including your own offices.
Indre By, Christianshavn, Vesterbro, Nørrebro, Østerbro, Frederiksberg, Amager, Ørestad, Nordhavn, Sydhavn, Valby
Hellerup, Lyngby, Klampenborg, Rungsted, Humlebæk, Helsingør, Hillerød, Roskilde, Køge
Malmö and Lund in Sweden: the train from Copenhagen to Malmö takes 35 to 40 minutes over the Øresund Bridge
Good to know: most companies hold their julefrokost in late November or early December, and some wait until January. Restaurants and banqueting rooms are booked early for those weeks, so send your date as soon as the party is planned.

Your questions
Yes. English is widely spoken in Denmark, and the experiences depend on involvement and astonishment far more than on wordplay. Isma performs in English or French; he does not perform in Danish.
Yes. A julefrokost often lasts many hours, so close-up between courses keeps the energy up while the meal goes on, and a few minutes on stage can launch the party part of the evening. Share the timing of the menu.
Yes. Malmö and Lund can be reached in under an hour by train, and Isma also covers North Zealand, from Hellerup to Helsingør, as well as Roskilde. Add the address of the venue to your message.
Any room with a stage area and a microphone: Bella Center, the Tivoli Congress Center, a hotel ballroom or an auditorium in your own building. Close-up needs no stage at all.
A stage feature takes 20 to 45 minutes. For close-up, plan one to three hours, according to the number of guests.
It depends on your choices: close-up or stage, duration, number of guests and date. Air travel from Paris is itemised in the quote, and a proposal follows within 24 hours.
It is: a chartered canal boat is fine for close-up, because nothing needs to be set up. A stage feature needs more space and a microphone, so choose a larger boat or a quayside venue for that part.
