Magician Peter Valance inspires Aurich: Spectacular illusions live!

On Saturday evening, around 350 spectators in the Aurich town hall experienced a show in a class of its own: The Illusionist Peter Valance, known for his spectacular tricks, enchanted the audience with a mixture of classical magic and modern entertainment. The tension was already palpable at the beginning of the event when Valance asked the group a provocative question: “Who believes in real magic?” Only a few hands went up, but that would quickly change.

Valance, who has been active in show business for over 20 years and with Merlin Award was awarded, knew how to masterfully involve his audience in the performance. From the classic tricks he skillfully performed to the daring unleashes, every moment was a highlight. A spectacular escape from a water tank was particularly impressive. Here he left the audience breathless as he dived into the water tied up and his assistant finally appeared in his place.

Experience the magic

Another highlight was the breathtaking escape from a straitjacket, which Valance finished just before sharp blades snapped. The tension was palpable - a heavenly reminder of history's great escape artists, inspired by legends like Harry Houdini. Wikipedia explains that there are different branches and styles in magic. Valance utilizes elements of both stage and micro magic by actively engaging and entertaining his audience.

So he created an enchanting depiction of the “sawn in half” in which his assistant was divided eight times. It's amazing how Valance reinterprets the old tricks and infuses them with his own humor. A small glitch, when a 20 euro note turned not into a 500 euro note, but into a tenner that appeared in an orange, caused laughter.

The mix of classic illusion, precise craftsmanship and the ability to make the audience laugh make Valance a special experience. A table that was made to levitate together with an audience member demonstrated not only his talent, but also the magic's potential to amaze people. The entire show recalled the heyday of stage magic pioneered by great illusionists in the 19th century and brought it into modern times.

Valance has mastered the combination of illusion and comedy perfectly and, how his website confirmed, made a name for himself as both a stage and close-up magician. Whether at trade fairs, at company events or as a private entertainer – his diverse programs ensure unforgettable moments. The audience in Aurich was thrilled and will rave about this evening for a long time.
