Henri Kemppainen – Suuri Taikashow

First domestic tour by Finland’s most internationally famous magician

Henri Kemppainen, who has toured the world with his magic shows, is set to begin his first-ever Finnish tour in November. Comprising eleven performances in total, Suuri Taikashow (The Great Magic Show) will take the two-time Magician of the Year to Helsinki, Turku, Kuopio, Kuhmo, Oulu, Seinäjoki, Lahti, Jyväskylä, Lappeenranta and Tampere. Tickets for the breathtaking shows will be available as of Monday 8 May.

One of the most charismatic Finnish magicians, Henri Kemppainen has prepared his Suuri Taikashow performances to be inventive combinations of classic magic tricks and even large-scale illusions, which are rarely seen in Finland. Alongside stage magic and illusions, the tour will feature Kemppainen’s popular close-up magic, which audiences know from his internationally distributed Magic in Lapland television series. The visibility of the close-up magic at large venues is ensured by a camera team and large screens, which convey even the most minute details all the way to the back rows. The family-friendly show will be directed by the dancer, choreographer and actor Sami Saikkonen. The show is sure to provide audiences with surprises, laughs and moments of wonder.

“I’m extremely excited to be able to tour Finland with my magic show. Even though I’ve performed a lot around the world, a Finnish tour has so far remained a childhood dream. We have been preparing the tour performance for a long time: audiences are warmly welcome for a night of entertainment and awe with an astonishing magic show,” Henri Kemppainen says.

Henri Kemppainen, who began his professional career in 2006, is a respected international magician who has toured the world performing his shows, travelling all the way to Abu Dhabi. He was selected as the Magician of the Year in 2019 and 2022, and as the Performer of the Year at the Evento Awards 2016. Privately trained in Las Vegas, Kemppainen is also the first Finnish magician to have a television show in international distribution: the Magic in Lapland series has been widely aired in North America, South America, Asia and Europe. In Finland, Kemppainen has performed in various television programmes and also with the Haloo Helsinki! band, Robin, Anna Puu and Jussi69.
