What kind of magic does Pit Finn perform?

Pit Finn has been entertaining and speaking at corporate events, company picnics, colleges & universities, holiday parties, conventions, banquets, meetings and trade shows for nearly two decades.

Pit Finn is not into traditional, old fashioned magic. Shredders, leaf blowers, rubber plungers, pillows, guns, lottery numbers, unsuspecting audience members and weird animals – all can play a big part in his unique stage shows, that blur the line between magic, mentalism, clean comedy and reality. Mentalist & Master Magician Pit Finn reads minds using rubber plungers, makes amazing predictions weeks in advance, and uses edgy leaf blowers to instantaneously move objects into a solid block of ice.

He predicts the headlines of a local newspaper two weeks in advance. When he is asked to work with guns, he performs a special version of the famous bullet catch or performs his unique version of Russian Roulette.

What is a Mentalist?

A mentalist is a "psychic" entertainer whose illusions feature the apparent ability to read minds, foretell the future, and see distant and hidden objects.

Based on Wikipedia, mentalism is a performing art in which the practitioner uses his five senses to create the illusion of a sixth. Performers may claim to be demonstrating supernatural abilities such as telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, and telekinesis.

Arguably, mentalism is a branch of magic, featuring many of the same basic tools and skills in its performance. Some mentalists use these techniques to give the impression that they actually possess supernatural powers.

Pit Finn misdirects his audience by attributing his results to other skills; the ability to read body language or subliminally manipulate the subject through psychological means. Pit Finn makes it known to the audience that he is performing illusions, while others claim to genuinely be able to read minds or see into the future.

One constant is that mentalism always requires the performer to display an authoritative, charismatic stage presence.



Where is Pit Finn different to other magicians?

Pit Finn goes beyond the typical magic you know. He uses paper shredders, leaf blowers, rubber plungers, pillows, lawn mowers, guns, lottery numbers and sometimes very weird animals in his shows. His shows go from the reflective to the insane. Pit Finn is praised for his ability to work an audience. He involves the audience throughout the performance and will help you make your next event an unforgetable experience that your guests will talk about for weeks to come.


Is it correct, that Pit Finn offers shows playing Russian Roulette or the famous Bullet Catch?

Yes, Pit Finn’s shows can include a version of the dangerously exciting Bullet Catch. In his spectacular mentalism shows, he offers to play the Russian Roulette. Because he is using real air pistols, there is obviously a considerable amount of danger for Pit Finn involved. A number of things could go wrong and serious injury or even death could be the result. Because of the seriousness of guns and not to glamourise weapons at any point, he also offers high-impact, “gun-free” shows.


Is it correct, that Pit Finn can predict the winning numbers of a lottery drawing weeks before the drawing?

In his mentalism shows, Pit Finn predicts winning lottery numbers as well as newspaper headlines. Two weeks before the drawing, theses predictions will be sealed and locked in a crystal box and kept under public view. Pit Finn will not come close to the box or the envelope when audience members will open the prediction.


Is it correct, that Pit Finn is also a professional, motivational speaker?

Yes, Pit Finn (aka Peter Tögel) is a multilingual, entrepreneurial, hands-on, and proactive leader with more than 10 years of experience in global marketing / product management / sales / business development for both start-up and established, multinational high growth organizations.

As a motivational speaker, mentalist, magician, and master of marketing, he reveals specific steps you can take to discover extraordinary creativity to broaden your market, increase sales, and to inspire your organization.

Pit Finn was doing a version of the bullet catch in one of his performances. Is Pit Finn in danger during the effect?

Pit Finn uses for this bullet catch effect a real dart gun. When a person has a dart gun fired at their head, there is obviously a considerable amount of danger. A number of things could go wrong and serious injury or even death can be the result. But if the risk was truly so high, Pit Finn would actually not attempt it. It’s a trick, an illusion, its purpose is to entertain and make it’s viewer wonder how it was done.


Is Pit Finn a real magician?

Pit Finn is not a real magician. He is not in any way involved in the use of supernatural powers and he creates all his illusions using the laws of physics. He has received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, and believes that the Bible is the only inspired infallible Word of God.


Should a Christian do magic?

One of the greatest gifts God has given his people is the ability to be creative. Wheather it is creating amazing magical illusions or being creative in any other field. Each human has the choice of letting the seed of creativity in our lives die or to nurture the creative potential God has put in our lives.

When the Bible uses the term "magic" (e.g. Exodus 22:14) or "sorcery" (Deuteronomy 18:11 et al.), it is clearly dealing with man's involvement in the supernatural, often with the collaboration of evil spirits. A problem rises from the fact that certain words have two meanings. "Magic" has the meaning of witchcraft or sorcery, but the word also means sleight of hand and illusion, a surprising and fascinating entertainment medium. Obviously the Bible is talking about the first of these meanings and not the second. It is good to know what the Bible is in fact saying, so that we do not misapply the truth because of a confusion in vocabulary.

If requested, Pit Finn will perform with a message - a message that reveals the truth behind the occult, helps to recognize false prophets, and leads audiences to Jesus Christ.


"Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks [and honor and glory] through Him to God the Father." Colossians 3:17
