More than just a show, I conceive each event as a ceremony, a meaningful opportunity to connect with people on a deep and emotional level, touching both their hearts and minds. My intention is to leave a lasting impression, a powerful experience that inspires them to realize that the "impossible" is merely an illusion.


. CLOSE-UP
Perfect for breaking the ice and adding a touch of magic to your event. In this format, the magic is experienced up close in an intimate and immersive way, making the audience not just spectators, but active participants in every effect. It's ideal for weddings, cocktail parties, and any occasion where magic isn't the main attraction but a unique element that enhances the overall experience.
. PARLOUR
At the end of the 19th century, magic began to be performed in intimate settings, without the need for a stage, creating a close connection between the illusionist and the audience. This format has always captivated me, as it allows for natural and meaningful interaction with each spectator. It's ideal for private gatherings, small companies, or brand happenings-where together, we'll create an atmosphere of wonder and mystery that moves and amazes your guests.
. STAGE
As the name suggests, this format brings magic to life on stage, guiding the audience through stories that not only entertain but also create a deep emotional connection. More than just a show, it is an experience that stirs emotions, challenges the mind, and above all touches the heart. Pertect for corporate events where the goal is not only to amaze but also to deliver a powerful message that stays with the audience long after the show ends.
. Conference
One of my greatest passions is sharing stories, whether they are my own or from people who have left a mark on me, and I am convinced that when you hear them, they will resonate with you too. Through these stories, I explore themes that connect us as human beings, creating motivation, empathy, and a genuine bond with the audience. In this format, magic becomes a powerful tool to reinforce key messages, making them clearer, more impactful, and memorable. It is ideal for companies seeking to reach their goals, inspire their teams, and provide tools that are useful both professionally and personally.
I'm Ivan Maraña, a Mentalist and illusionist with over 20 years of experience.
Although I studied Economics and worked in the financial world, I soon discovered that my true calling wasn't in numbers, but in reminding people that magic is everywhere—in the small moments that move us and in the sense of wonder we sometimes forget.
My passion lies in challenging the impossible and taking audiences on a journey filled with magic and storytelling-awakening emotions that inspire, surprise, and create unforgettable experiences. Throughout my career, I've had the honor of performing in several countries, collaborating on corporate events, brand launches, and private shows. I'm a proud member of the world's most prestigious magic club, The Academy of Magical Arts in Los Angeles, as well as: The International Brotherhood of Magicians & The Society of American Magicians.
In 2023, after studying acting at the Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Los Angeles, I premiered my first public show: The Butterfly Effect: Small Pieces of a Bigger Story, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mexico City. After 40 sold-out performances, the show received the Metropolitan Theater Award for Best Solo Performance and was nominated for Theatrical Experience of the Year.
What I enjoy most is reminding people of the gift that lives in mystery and il-lusion-through the art of reading minds. For me, true magic happens when we open our minds and hearts to connect with others. That's why I love what I do and why every performance feels unique and unrepeatable.
If you're ready to join me on this journey, I promise you'll discover that magic has always been right in front of you... all you have to do is remember.
