Good to know
Elyas & Claire – magic that travels the world
Elyas is one of Germany’s most sought-after magicians. His stage presence and the knowledge of people he gained in his former career as a police officer shape their joint show. Claire is one of the few female magicians in Germany. As a mentalist, she makes unspoken thoughts visible and surprises audiences with astonishing precision.
On stage, Elyas’ outgoing energy meets Claire’s expressive calm. Their show is booked all over Europe, and their videos reach people around the world. Elyas & Claire are the first magician duo in history to reach more than one billion people with their videos within a single month.
