A young champion
Nielsen showed his talent early: in 2002 he became Dutch Youth Champion of Magic. Two years later, in 2004, he crowned himself champion of cartomagic — the art of magic with playing cards.
That solid foundation in technique and card magic would form the backbone of his later performances.
Magic among the big names
Alongside magic, Nielsen provides presentations and performances for companies at home and abroad. In doing so he has worked with international stars such as Tiësto and Shakira.
In 2010, together with Ger Copper, he took part in the television programme De Nieuwe Uri Geller, and in 2014 he made his acting debut as Goochelpiet in the family film Sinterklaas & Diego: Het Geheim van de Ring.
Nick Nielsen proved that strong technique and a natural presentation go hand in hand. You will recognise that same combination of craftsmanship and effortless rapport with the audience in the work of Sudesh Roman.
