Helder Guimarães - "One Man Show"

Our guest-star from Portugal!

In 2006, at the age of 23, Helder Guimarães became the youngest ever World Champion of Card Magic. He was awarded the title after his performance in a triennial competition, which left both the judging panel and over a thousand other performers utterly baffled. Since then, using his background in acting and theater, he created and performed his one-man shows all over the world.

His appearances at the Magic Castle in Los Angeles led him to be awarded the title of Parlour Magician of The Year in 2011 and 2012 by the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood.

In 2012, he co-created a show called “Nothing to Hide” which opened at the Geffen Playhouse and was directed by Neil Patrick Harris. After critical acclaim, in 2013, the show was taken Off Broadway to New York where it stayed for a very successful held-over run of 110 performances.

Helder was one of the invited guests for the prestigious TED Conference in 2014. According to TED, Helder is recognized by “his elegantly thought-through performances, which merge a nuanced stagecraft with good old how-does-he-do-it sleight of hand… silently plotting to blow your mind with invisible technique, unorthodox psychology and fresh humor.
