Erik is an extraordinary magician, using his wits and talents and skills to create magic solutions for shows and attractions worldwide. He is a highly intelligent, original thinker possessing a rare combination of both an imagination large enough to conjure novel ideas and the technical mind to make those ideas come to life. Erik is passionate about the amusement and attractions industry and genuinely enjoys providing entertainment through his unique skill set. He wants the shows and attractions he works on to succeed for his clients and for his clients' guests, and is a champion of our industry. His genius with holograms is state of the art. Erik is a global thinker and adapts very well to diverse cultures with an intuitive grace well suited for his international audience. It is a pleasure to work with this independent imagineer, and I hope my own work affords opportunities to collaborate with Erik and see a master magician who loves his craft enchant millions more guests with his multifaceted talents!
