Miss Katalin is a multi-award winner illusionist, performer and sleight-of-hand artist. She won the “Magician of the Year” award in her home country (Hungary), and the “Cabaret Magician of The Year” award in America. At 14 years old she was performing in Dubai, UAE and 15 years old she appeared on a cruise ship around Europe!

After only a few years in America, this “Budapest Bombshell” has taken the magic world by storm. With a fresh look at this ancient craft, Katalin has added a feminine twist to magic with her work being extremely tantalizing, stylish, yet skillful with a hint of comedy. Developing an interest in magic when she was just five years old, Katalin took the traditional approach when she was chosen to apprentice with master magician, Janos Habok. After years of study and rehearsal with an added dose of creativity, her magic is anything but traditional. When she began performing, Katalin embarked on an unprecedented sweep of virtually every major magic competition by winning first place throughout her native Hungary, as well as, the surrounding countries, earning her the title, “Europe’s Premiere Female Magician”.
Hungary brought even more opportunities when she was asked to work in the most famous, elegant night club in Budapest, “The Moulin Rouge”. This upscale club features some of the finest acts in Eastern Europe. Very soon it became clear that Katalin’s talent was growing faster than her surroundings. She decided to follow a dream she had held since she was a small child and travel to the United States. More specifically, the Entertainment Capital of the World – Las Vegas!
Within months of arriving in Las Vegas, her striking beauty, engaging personality, and flawless sleight-of-hand skill drew the attention of many admirers. One of them, the producer of “The World’s Greatest Magic Show”. She was immediately added to the All-Star cast.
