The Magic of AI
The non-fiction book for the show lecture
As my shows always contain thought-provoking material about artificial intelligence, the step to writing a book was almost a given. I was finally able to talk in detail about everything that there is sometimes no room for in the pace of a live show. In over 100 pages, I open the door to the deeper messages that shape my performances.
At first glance, it may seem unusual for a digital magician to opt for an analog medium. But especially in a time when digital information is omnipresent, a book offers the opportunity to reflect on content in peace and set deeper impulses. The more digital the world becomes, the more we long for analog and humanity.
And that’s the point: artificial intelligence is changing our world at a rapid pace. But despite all the technological progress, the human mind remains the most important resource of the future. In “The Magic of AI”, I invite you to meet this change with amazement, curiosity and, above all, creative openness. In this book, I am not on stage, but between the lines. And that is also where my magic unfolds, albeit in a different way. It is about shaping a future in which technology does not replace the human, but makes it more visible again.
“The Magic of AI” is a collection of 22 impulses that have emerged from my stage experience as well as from personal observations and thoughts. Each impulse is an invitation to look at the world of artificial intelligence from a new perspective and with a twinkle in the eye. Therefore, it is not only about technical aspects, but above all about the human attitude towards digital change. Many of the thoughts you will find in this book address topics that I also deal with in my show, sometimes pointedly, sometimes thoughtfully, sometimes surprisingly. This book is intended for anyone who wants to be amazed a second time after my show presentation or who wants to engage with my perspective on AI for the first time.
Another idea …
With “The Magic of AI”, I have written a book that perfectly complements my show. Many companies want something lasting after my show that will carry on the momentum from the stage and keep the curiosity about AI alive even after the event. That’s exactly what this book is made for.
If you book me with a show lecture, you can purchase “The Magic of AI” in larger quantities directly from me at cost price. Many companies use this opportunity to give all employees or participants of a conference an inspiring gift. Whether as a high-quality giveaway or as an extension of the content of my show, I will be happy to put together an individual package for you. Just

In addition to the book, I have published a soundtrack composed especially for me! My show is like a theme park: there’s an overarching theme and lots of different attractions. So it made sense to have the soundtrack produced by Studio 2112, which is part of Europa-Park and creates music for theme parks all over the world. But what does a “Media Magician” and his show “Man and Machine” sound like? The cool PVC thongophone sound forms the basis. This is contrasted by a theatrical orchestra. The sounds of artificial intelligence and rusty robots mingle with the music of nimble hands and majestic magic!
