Timon Krause

Born in Germany, trained in New Zealand and now based in Amsterdam, Timon has travelled the world with his show. Apart from reading other people’s minds as a mentalist, the young philosopher and author shares his own thoughts regularly through lectures (TedXFryslan // TedXAmsterdam), workshops and in his publications.

Giving magic has been Timon Krause’s life-long passion. He published his first book on mentalism at 16 years of age. Amongst other prizes, he was the youngest performer awarded the title of “Best European Mentalist”. He also took home the trophy of the US hit show Fool Us.

Timon is regularly on tour with his mentalism show, mostly in Germany and the
Netherlands. From time to time, you can see him on the television, hear him on the radio or learn from him through one of his books.

Johanna Lundqvist is fascinated by life, and the changes it brings. As an artist, she blends nature and fantasy into creations that are sometimes whimsical, and sometimes spookily unsettling. And as a highly qualified nurse, she has accompanied thousands of remarkable individuals through illness, insanity, and even into death.
