On our stage at:

FISM World Championship 2025

Helge Thun, a card magician and comedy magic performer, was born in Kiel, Germany, in 1971. In 1990 he won first prize in card magic at the German Championship in Wolfsburg, and the following year took third place in card magic at the FISM World Championship in Lausanne; between 1996 and 2002 he added six more first prizes at German championships, in card magic, close-up and comedy.

With the group The Flicking Fingers he gave a lecture at FISM Dresden in 1997, published "The Book" in 1998 and the DVD "The Movie" in 2002. At FISM in The Hague in 2003 he presented the improvised magic show "Magic Sports", and in 2006 he hosted the FISM gala "Best of the Best" in Stockholm. A friend and stage partner of Topas, he is a refined performer of parlour card magic.

For the years that followed, his biography answers with a wink: "Don't ask". He was our guest at the FISM World Championship of Magic in Turin 2025.
