Why book a magician for your kickoff?

A kickoff often needs to do the same thing, whatever the industry: bring the team together, set the right energy for the year or the quarter, and give people something to talk about afterwards. That is harder than it sounds, when the day otherwise consists of presentations, figures and speeches from management.

Magic and stand up comedy work well as a break that interrupts the programme. It does not require the guests to know each other beforehand, only that they can be surprised, and it works across departments and seniority. We saw that clearly when Restaurant Flammen gathered 750 employees from across the country for their kickoff in Fredericia and asked Anders to create the energy before the evening's programme continued.

Why choose Anders for your kickoff

With over 15 years of experience, Anders has performed everywhere from smaller department meetings to kickoffs with hundreds of employees. The show is always tailored to your kickoff, rather than a fixed template run again and again. For Restaurant Flammen's kickoff, for example, Anders developed a trick especially for the occasion, one that fitted their theme. Anders is both a magician and a stand up comedian, a combination that means the entertainment does not just surprise, but also hits the right humour for your kickoff.

Case

How Flammen's kickoff became unforgettable for 750 employees

Every year, Restaurant Flammen gathers all their employees for a big kickoff. In 2026, 750 employees from across the country were gathered for a festive evening at Messe C in Fredericia, with an MC, an awards ceremony, food and entertainment. Anders was hired to create energy before the starter was served, with a 20 minute comedy magic show full of humour, magic and audience involvement, including a trick developed especially for Restaurant Flammen.

Which type of magic suits your kickoff?

There are several ways to use magic and comedy to kick off your event. Anders can deliver an energetic joint show, close-up magic on arrival, or a show built around your own theme.

Kickoff show for the whole group

A short, fast paced show brings all the guests together around a shared highlight, just before the day's programme continues, or before dinner is served. It works as an effective energiser that breaks up the run of speeches and sends people on in good spirits.

Close-up magic on arrival and during networking

As employees arrive or mingle before and between items on the programme, Anders can move around and perform close-up magic right up close. It is a good way to spark conversation across departments, even before the official programme begins.

Show built around your theme or message

Does your kickoff need to be about a specific theme, a strategy or a goal for the year? The show can be put together so that magic and comedy support exactly that, just as when Anders developed a trick especially for Restaurant Flammen's kickoff.
