Embrace the unexplainable

Mystery does not stand alone; it comes with a qualifier. Some magical entertainers highlight a perfect mystery, a powerful mystery, a comedic mystery, or a meaningful mystery. Henok specializes in offering a personalized mystery, meaning that he is not looking for perfection but rather connection.

While most of us do our best to manage the outcomes of our lives, many instances in life are beyond our control—unplanned chance encounters and events that cannot be predicted. Join Henok Negash on an extraordinary 75-minute journey where inexplicable encounters and unforeseen events take center stage, leaving you with a profound sense of wonder. Witness illusions that explore the intricacies of dating, marriage, trust, and more as Henok's interactive performance invites you to become an integral part of this magical spectacle.

What makes a magician effective and truly magical, is the ability to connect with the audience…lure them in, involve them in the act and even create a sense of emotional connection to the amazement that unfolds. Negash is among the best.

While on stage, Henok Negash is a magician, mentalist, and humorist, but most importantly, he is an entertainer. He took up magic at the tender age of twelve. Since then, he has performed in five countries, from France to Thailand, entertaining corporations, private parties, and nightclubs, including the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, California. What makes Henok unique is how he seamlessly adapts to whatever environment he is placed in. Simply put, Henok understands how to communicate and relate to people.

In 2016, Negash appeared on the CW Network's third season of Penn & Teller’s Fool Us. In 2018, he appeared on Masters of Illusion. Henok consults other magicians on stagecraft, scripting, and magic effect creation when not on stage.
