What clients say
From people who booked him
“Absolutely fantastic. Hans guided us brilliantly through both our daytime and evening events. Professional, approachable, with a unique ability to engage the audience as both MC and magician. Solid from start to finish.”
Frøydis DalsengHead of Administration“Hans is an exceptional magician and a brilliant presenter. He lifted our 20th anniversary to new heights, making our guests of honour feel seen.”
Anne ØienHead of Communications“His experience as an MC helped us structure the whole evening, balancing performances, speeches, magic and time to mingle.”
Mia P. StenbraatenDigital MarketerHow booking works
Send the date and the occasion. The night, the place, and what you are celebrating. That is all I need to check the calendar and start thinking about your room.
We build the evening in one call. I ask about your schedule, your people, and the stories inside the company. Then I refine everything until the show fits so well your guests assume I have been with the company for years.
Show time. Everything is ready before I walk in: your people, the timing, the moments that land. You get to enjoy your own event. And when your colleagues ask how you pulled it off, take the credit.
Best for: gala dinners, awards ceremonies, conferences, multi-segment evenings. Works from a 20-person executive offsite up to large conference dinners with AV.

Corporate MC & emcee FAQ
What does an MC actually do at a corporate event?
Hans runs the night end to end: opens the room, introduces speakers, handles awards and timing, and keeps the energy up between segments. You get one experienced person holding the whole evening together.
Can Hans MC and perform magic at the same event?
Yes, and it is the strongest combination. A typical gala: mingle magic at cocktails, Hans MCs through dinner and awards, then a stage show as the after-dinner centrepiece.
Is the hosting in English?
Hans hosts in English or Norwegian. The magic he weaves between segments plays in any language, so a mixed-nationality room stays together all night.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better for peak dates. If your date is close, ask anyway. It sometimes works.
Do you travel outside Barbados?
Yes. Hans is based in Barbados and Norway, hosting events worldwide. Caribbean dates run from Barbados, European dates from Norway.
How big an event can you host?
From a 20-person executive offsite to a large conference dinner with full AV.
What does it cost?
Every event is different. Send the date and the outline and Hans replies within 24 hours to start the conversation.
Let’s make your event unforgettable.
