Magic for Three Decades

Magician Kimmo Erkkilä has been entertaining crowds for nearly three decades.

I’ve seen him amaze people with cards, coins, ropes, cups and balls — whatever he may be presenting in his hands at the time!

He is a fluid entertainer in three languages: Finnish, Swedish, English.

It’s the latter that is in demand now when company Christmas parties are around the corner, and the staff of small and medium enterprises are increasingly becoming more international when immigrants move to this magical land for work or love, many times both.

Kimmo performs miracles with a unique mixture of stand-up comedy and magic that he can present up close or on stage.

When he is not on the road, he gives private lectures to his students. Recently, Linnanmäki Circus School (one of the oldest circus schools for youth in Finland) happily booked Kimmo to teach sleight of hand for children, teenagers and even adults.

Kimmo knows English like the card you selected and are holding behind your back. He’s been studying the language as long as he has been doing magic by reading books, viewing DVDs and attending international lectures; over 90% of the material is in English.

“While my performances in English seem to be increasing in demand, there would still be room for more,” Kimmo said. “I live in Porvoo, southern Finland, but I travel across the country to perform. A show in English can entertain the whole staff as many Finns understand the language too.”

Remember this: Kimmo Erkkilä is available for breathtaking magic — anytime, anywhere!
