Corporate Magician & Mentalist Rotterdam
Close-up magic and mentalism for corporate events, product launches, trade shows and private events in Rotterdam. From Ahoy to the harbour, from a product launch to a client dinner.
Sieko performs for companies and private clients in Rotterdam as part of his wider Netherlands coverage, bringing the same close-up magic and mentalism used for international brands across Europe.
Rotterdam runs on logistics, engineering and a different kind of energy
Rotterdam is the Netherlands’ second city and one of Europe’s most important port and logistics hubs. The corporate audience here is shaped by shipping, engineering, maritime business and a fast-growing technology and retail sector, alongside major venues like Ahoy and the World Port Center.
Close-up magic and mentalism work well for this audience because they need no stage, no setup time and create immediate connection between guests, whether at a product launch, a corporate reception or a private dinner.

Close-Up Magic
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 Launch, 2025
Bringing close-up magic to a major product launch
In 2025, Sieko performed close-up magic at the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 launch, working the room to create memorable moments for guests around the new product. This is exactly the kind of brief close-up magic and mentalism are suited to: a high-profile reveal where the entertainment needs to feel current, sharp and tied to the moment, not generic party magic.
For product launches, mentalism and close-up magic can be built around the product itself: a prediction that reveals a feature, a moment that ties the magic to the brand story, or simply close-up entertainment that keeps guests engaged between the formal parts of the programme.
- Product reveal moments built into the performance
- Engagement during press and VIP guest mingling
- Brand-aligned mentalism and prediction effects
- No stage or technical setup required
Trade Shows & Conferences Rotterdam
Ahoy and Rotterdam’s exhibition circuit
Rotterdam Ahoy hosts major exhibitions, conferences and corporate events throughout the year. On a busy exhibition floor, visitors have dozens of stands to choose from and most walk past without stopping. Close-up magic stops people before they make a conscious decision to keep walking.
- Attracting visitors to the stand
- Opening conversations for the sales team
- Lead generation and QR code engagement
- Integrating product messaging into the performance
- Brand activations on the exhibition floor
Background & Approach
Dutch by birth, international by experience
Sieko was born and grew up in Amsterdam and now performs internationally from Barcelona: for Dior in Zurich and Geneva, for AWS and Ferrari in Monaco, for Cisco Live in Amsterdam and Barcelona, for Samsung and Tech Mahindra at trade shows and product events.
His background in banking and finance, including roles at HSBC and Sovereign Trusts, and his certification as a business coach mean he understands professional environments. He performs in Dutch, English, German and Spanish.
Mentalist Rotterdam
For audiences who expect more than a magic trick
Close-up magic creates a moment. Mentalism creates a memory. Predictions, choices, reading minds and revealing information nobody in the room could have known. For corporate clients, mentalism can also carry a brand message or be built around a product reveal.

Paul Cicchelli, Sales Director, Cisco Live Amsterdam
“We got Sieko in for an End of Year party in Amsterdam. The guy is a true professional that loves his job. He went above and beyond to fit the theme and the flow of the event. On top of that, he’s just a lovely, kind and fun person and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”
Charles Taylor, Eventic, Amsterdam
“Thanks Sieko for being a wonderful contribution to our tradeshow performance. A true addition to the TTR booth team. Welcoming visitors to the stand and wowing them with your magic. Brought a smile on everyone’s face, without a single exception.”

How It Works
The conversation first, the format second
A product launch needs a different approach to an Ahoy exhibition stand, and a private dinner is a different brief again. The right format depends on the audience, the venue and what the event wants to achieve.
- Discovery call. We discuss the guests, the venue, the schedule and the purpose of the event. Everything is treated confidentially from the start.
- Concept and format. Sieko recommends the right structure: walk-around close-up, table magic, mentalism or a combination.
- Customisation. Where useful, the performance can be adapted to a brand, product message or event theme.
- The day itself. Sieko arrives prepared, works around the programme and creates the right moments without disrupting what is already working.

The best way to decide what will work is a short discovery call. We discuss the audience, venue, schedule and tone of the event. Only then does it make sense to recommend a performance format.
FAQ
Questions about booking a magician in Rotterdam
Have you performed in Rotterdam before?
Yes. In 2025 Sieko performed close-up magic at the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 launch. He also performs across the Netherlands more broadly, including events in Amsterdam and Maastricht, and covers Rotterdam as part of his Netherlands availability.
Are you suitable for a product launch?
Yes. Product launches are a strong fit for close-up magic and mentalism. The performance can be built around the product itself, with predictions, reveals or moments tied directly to the launch, working well during VIP and press mingling before or after the formal presentation.
Do you perform at Ahoy and other Rotterdam exhibition venues?
Yes. Trade show and exhibition engagement is a specialist area. The performance attracts visitors to the stand, creates natural openings for the sales team and can integrate brand messaging and lead generation.
Do you speak Dutch?
Yes. Sieko was born and grew up in Amsterdam and speaks fluent Dutch. He also performs in English, German and Spanish.
Can the performance be adapted to our brand or event theme?
Yes. For corporate clients, the performance is built around the event brief from the start. Product messaging, brand values and specific audience moments can all be integrated.
What is the difference between a magician and a mentalist?
A magician creates visual effects through sleight of hand, psychology and audience interaction. A mentalist focuses on predictions, choices, influence and mind-reading style effects. Sieko combines both depending on the audience and the event format.
How far in advance should we book?
Popular dates during conference season and December are often booked out months ahead. Short-notice bookings are sometimes possible depending on the date. Early contact is recommended.
