Along the way there are jokes, magic and quite a lot of laughter.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">It's as much stand-up as magic, and the two don't sit side by side in the show, they're woven into each other.

At a comedy festival people come to laugh, so the magic is the unexpected part. At a magic festival people come to be amazed, so the humour is the unexpected part. That is why I do not do the same show in both places. MIRAKLER is built for a comedy stage, and in Horsens I take some of the same elements out to the festival square, where there are both children and adults.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">It's also the difference I work with when I'm booked for a party or a company event. Sometimes the job is to get a whole group laughing through the evening, other times it's to give them something they can't explain the next day.
