Let yourself be taken over by the mirth, misdirection and magic of one the gems of South African comedy!

Marcel Oudejans had already been performing professionally as an entertainer for audiences for 10 years before making an impact on the local comedy scene in 2010: you'll soon see why his brand of classic entertainment has been requested by over 180 blue-chip South African companies.

You're certain to enjoy a performance "... of deceptions, belly laughter and lots of surprised gasps..." (Cape Times) when you experience a simple and perfectly blended combination of old school magic, modern day humour and wit that makes you stare in wonder, think and finally laugh at yourself. Afterwards, you'll understand why he's been described as "... the talking point of the evening ..." by the Sunday Times Lifestyle as you are mesmerised into a demonstration of superb magic and good old-fashioned fun!

Audience participation forms part of the show in way that people love to take part in the action, as Marcel treats his "volunteers" as instant 'partners' in his act. Huge objects are produced, minds are read, needles are consumed and forks are melted into pieces within your hands ... Audiences leave this performance still laughing from sheer surprise and enjoyment!

This performance is well suited to a general audience as the humour and laughter comes from the "impromptu" nature of Marcel's show. When he is not performing as a comedy magician, he also forms part of The Long Shots, Cape Town's freshest Comedy Improv Troupe. This becomes apparent when you see his ability to adjust his performance to virtually any audience.

In March 2012, he sold out his début One-Man Show, Sleight of Mouth, which received rave reviews for its entire 6-week run. His skills have been call upon for several important corporate road shows all over Southern Africa, he has represented South Africa at Vismayam 2008 international magic convention in India, and guest performed at Jou Ma Se Comedy Club, Parkers Comedy & Jive in Monte Casino, and Carnival City (Sun International). Marcel's recent appearance on SABC 3's Expresso Morning Show continued to get their audiences engaged on their Facebook page after the show.

There's little doubt that you'll enjoy and talk about this fun, captivating and engaging performance when Marcel Oudejans takes the stage!
