Brett Daniels

Master of the grand illusion

American illusionist Brett Daniels belongs to the great tradition of the touring illusion show: full-scale productions where appearances, vanishes and transformations happen on a cinematic scale, with staging, lighting and choreography worthy of a Hollywood set. Over his career he has brought this kind of spectacular magic to audiences across the United States and around the world, in theatres, casinos and arenas.

Television made his illusions travel even further, with appearances on major networks and international specials that showcased his taste for large, visual, seemingly impossible images. Colleagues know him as a perfectionist of the grand illusion, an artist who takes care of every detail of the machine behind the miracle and then makes the machine disappear, leaving only the miracle on stage.

Masters of Magic welcomed him to Saint-Vincent and honoured him with the Golden Grolla in 2011, celebrating a career spent keeping the spectacular soul of stage illusion alive.

Honoured by Masters of Magic among the legends who have shaped the history of magic.
