Elder Guimares' Innovative Approach to COVID Era Storytelling

Elder Guimares, a world champion magician, has successfully overcome the challenges of COVID era storytelling by incorporating virtual adaptation into his latest show, The Present. Despite specializing in close-up card magic and sleight of hand, Elder has transformed the constraints of the computer screen into a fundamental part of his magic. Instead of attempting to draw viewers into the virtual space, Elder uses showmanship and unique tricks to bring the magic from the computer screen into the homes of each viewer, creating an immersive and interactive experience. This approach has allowed him to create a hit show that has consistently sold out since May, providing audiences with a sense of community and wonder during a time when live performances have been halted.
