“I love watching Kim perform magic. He is one of the most innovative and talented magicians around. A must-see!” -Andy Nyman

“Kim Andersen is an extraordinary magician. His remarkable sleight of hand appears effortless, and he is both engaging and humorous. I eagerly anticipate his Penguin Live performance; I know I will learn a wealth of impactful material.” -Craig Petty

“Kim possesses a unique combination of exceptional talent, creativity, and a profound understanding of the art of magic. This synergy makes him one of the most brilliant magicians of our time. Kim Andersen is truly a generational talent.” -Lloyd Barnes

“I’m a huge fan of Kim Andersen and his ability to captivate an audience! His skills as a performer and creator of magic are remarkable! If you have the chance to attend a Kim Andersen lecture, don’t miss it; you will undoubtedly leave as a better magician.” -Nicholas Lawrence

“Kim’s magic ticks all the boxes! It’s visual, practical, and incredibly deceptive. I can’t think of a single Andersen project that isn’t part of my professional repertoire.” -Adam Wilbur

“You know how magic dealers come to conventions, trying to sell as much as possible in a few days and leaving with unsold inventory? Kim Andersen does it differently. He arrives with a suitcase full of magic, sells out quickly, and spends the rest of the day taking pre-orders for the next batch. That’s how effective and practical his magic is.” -Ondrej Psenicka

What Will He Teach?

Money for Nothing: Kim magically produces three Morgan Dollars, only to make them vanish. Reflecting on his chaotic finances, he discovers an inter-dimensional hole in his pocket and attempts to fix it before reality is altered.

Cardnoisseur: Kim modernizes the classic wine tasting hoax for card enthusiasts. Learn to identify the unique scents of freshly pressed playing cards. But watch out! Pollen season may trigger an allergic reaction.

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream at Voice-Controlled Playing Cards: This deck locates a chosen card from a shuffled pile. Afterward, an impromptu poker game allows for a stunning royal flush production—though Kim admits he doesn’t play poker.

The Nose Job: A hyper-visual effect where a Sharpie cap is snorted and then returned to the pen. This fun routine fits seamlessly into any pen and cap act.

It’s in The Bone: A finger ring links onto a safety pin, which then appears to melt through the performer’s finger. Panic ensues, but the modern-day warlock pulls the needle through and hands out the safety pin and ring for examination—no fingers harmed!

Torn’clipped’n’restored: A clean, signed playing card restoration method that simplifies the process while delivering impressive results.

Paper Bags and Wormholes: Kim’s practical drink production from a folded paper bag, a staple in his stand-up shows. Best of all, you likely have everything you need at home.

Travel Schmavel: Kim reimagines the “Travellers” plot, making it unforgettable. Three signed cards vanish and reappear in your cap, back pocket, and shoe—it’s as clean as it gets.

Buns of Steel: Learn to create the ultimate gimmick you never knew you needed. Much of Kim’s professional close-up magic revolves around this small, inexpensive, and brilliant gimmick.

Who Is He?

Kim Andersen, the creator of the best-selling effect “Shrapnel,” is a seasoned magician with over 25 years of experience. He has performed in nightclubs at 4 AM, tested material on beer-soaked open mic stages, and entertained both the Danish royal family and death row inmates, all while working with armed guards. He even does kids’ shows!

Having collaborated with Ellusionist and Murphy’s Magic on projects like “Silver Edge” and “Shrapnel,” Kim also starred in a ten-episode TV series in Denmark.

Kim is passionate about strong, engaging magic, believing that performances should reflect the magician’s personality.

When not performing at corporate and private events, he enjoys family time with his wife and three kids, often playing a game of “Who Ripped a Page Out of Williamson’s Wonders” (also known as “The Rascal Monte”).
