Timon Krause

At just 29 years of age, Timon Krause has already carved out a wild, exciting and more than impressive career - not only on a national but also on an international level. Primarily known as a mentalist, the Spiegel bestselling author, entertainer and speaker has built up an incredibly large fan base in a very short space of time and is now regarded as the most successful and charismatic mental artist in Germany. With his new program "Messiah", Timon Krause will go on tour in 2024 and take his audience into completely new realms of psychological phenomena. Building on his knowledge of the human psyche, Timon Krause creates fascinating shows with which he surprises, amazes and keeps his audience in suspense. His skills, ranging from the seemingly child's play guessing of bank PINs to the hypnosis of randomly selected test subjects in a matter of seconds, are based on scientifically sound training (including with the famous New Zealand mentalist Richard Webster) and years of practice. The manipulation, reading and prediction of human behavior is based partly on natural talent and partly on painstakingly trained skills, such as advanced communication techniques and the accurate reading of unconscious facial expressions and gestures. Of course, a great deal of creativity and imagination also plays a crucial role in Timon Krause's profession - especially when it comes to developing new stage shows. For his tour next year, the multi-talented artist who grew up in Isselburg is taking the next step - both in terms of the size of the tour and the show itself. The program, entitled "Messiah", will be bigger, more impressive and, if at all feasible, will feel even more impossible than his previous shows. The starting point is still the human mind. This time, however, the young mentalist focuses part of his attention on mass psychology: how manipulable are we really? Where are we influenced unnoticed and how can we protect ourselves? And how easy is it for Timon Krause to brainwash his subjects on stage? Timon Krause will be touring a total of 28 cities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2024 with his "Messiah" program. For the graduate philosopher, his shows are by no means just about putting on a great performance. In addition to his vocation as an entertainer, Timon Krause has also made it his mission to do a certain amount of educational work show after show. For example, he shares valuable mind hacks for everyday life that make it easier for the audience to understand and read their fellow human beings and their own minds. "Messiah" thus offers the unique opportunity to take a look inside our heads and understand which psychological mechanisms really shape and drive us. The skillful fusion of mentalism, psychology and philosophy with playful elements has already had great appeal and entertainment value in the past. It is no coincidence that it is extremely important to Timon Krause that lightness and fun are not neglected. This applies both to his shows and to the other areas in which he expresses himself creatively, such as with his current book, the novel "Das versunkene Theater" (KMAV Kölner Medienagentur und Verlag), which will be published on October 23 this year. And it's no coincidence that he regularly meets up with Joko & Klaas to present them with completely new challenges with clever mind games. Entertainment is a top priority in Timon Krause's life. Perhaps this is part of the secret to his success. More than 10 million YouTube clicks and his "Mind Games" tour, which has sold out several times, speak for themselves.
