Full bioapprox. 260 words
Magical Katrina (Katrina Kroetch) is a world-traveling magician, mentalist and speaker whose magic is funny, smart and rather cinematic. Her signature style is theatrical, sharp and interactive, blending drama, mystery and whimsy with serious sleight of hand.
She grew up captivated by the powerful, independent witches of film and television, and started performing at 18 as a princess at children’s parties. Learning to hold a room full of kids taught her that magic is about more than tricks: it’s about wonder, laughter and bringing people together. Today she performs close-up magic, stage illusions and mentalism for audiences of every size.
Katrina has performed in 25 countries and toured internationally with Champions of Magic. She has appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Masters of Illusion and Blippi, and starred alongside Chappell Roan in the “Red Wine Supernova” music video. Her corporate clients include Formula 1, Porsche, Prada, Ritz-Carlton, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Hourglass Cosmetics and Huda Beauty.
She has performed at the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood, is a member of The Magic Circle in London, and has won six magic and theater awards. She lectures to other magicians on the business and craft of magic at TAOM, PCAM, the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the Society of American Magicians, Penguin Magic and The Magic Circle. Her work has been featured in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, NPR and the LA Times, and she supports Magicians Without Borders and Emergency Circus.
