A sense of the stage

Creative direction
& staging.

Bring talent together.
Give each show its own identity.

A colour for every mood.

The art of connection

Distinct talents.
One shared vision.

An entrance, a transition, a moment of stillness. Norbert Ferré gives each show its rhythm.

Drawing on his stage experience, he brings the acts together, preserving the character of each to create a coherent whole.

A creation by Maison Pierre Vanherck

The Magician’s cane

The art of detail.

Handcrafted for The Magician, this cane brings together Gabon ebony, Corian and brass. Its 248 inlays trace a pattern of spirals and curves.

Concealed within the cane is a mechanism designed for a pyrotechnic effect on stage. An integrated RFID chip allows the piece to be identified.

The maker

Pierre Vanherck

In his Belgian workshop, Pierre Vanherck handcrafts bespoke canes from precious woods, metals and gemstones. His work features in the Michelangelo Foundation’s Homo Faber Guide. His creations include a cane presented to Pope Benedict XVI.
