As the seventh edition of Poland’s largest magic festival approaches, Wojciech Rotowski, star of the show, shares his journey. Preparations begin right after the previous festival ends, with intense rehearsals starting 3-4 weeks before the event.
Rotowski teases the audience with new tricks involving dance and costumes. The show will feature classic illusions with a fresh twist, presented as a theatrical production. Combining magic with dance, mime, and circus arts, Rotowski’s favorite acts are visual and non-verbal, telling captivating stories through magic.
Rotowski draws inspiration from Derren Brown’s storytelling and Harry Houdini’s persistence. His first mentor, Maciej Pol, also holds a special place in his heart. Despite the excitement, Rotowski experiences pre-show jitters but remains focused. He prepares meticulously, calming himself with breathing exercises and mantras before taking the stage.
