Performance Reference: World Champion Magician Yann Frisch


This is a fantastic  performance by new magician Yann Frisch! The character he has created for this piece is great! The timing, pacing, and body language is superb!

'FISM award winner and French magic champion Yann Frisch is one of magic’s freshest talents. Yann has been creating a sensation wherever he goes with his unique take on classic magic, an absurdist take on the cups and balls. Cool, clever, stylish and oh so artful. We are proud to have one of France’s top performers at EMC.' via Essential Magic Conference
