TV Exclusive: Magician Helder Guimaraes Talks All Things VERSO; Opens Tonight at New World Stages!

Helder Guimarães, one of the premier close-up artists of the world, returns to New York City in his all-new show Verso, following the acclaimed sold-out engagement of Nothing to Hide. Intimate and enigmatic, witty and unorthodox, Verso is Helder's most daunting journey into the impossible yet. Bear witness as he pushes the very limits of magic, and challenges just how much you're willing to accept what your eyes assume to be true.

Verso is written and performed by Helder Guimarães and features Creative Direction by Catarina Marques, Lighting Design by Pedro Vieira de Carvalho, music by Pedro Marques, Creative Consulting by Kelly Devine and Direction by Rodrigo Santos.

Verso will open tonight, September 28, 2016 at New World Stages (340 West 50th St. between 8th and 9th Avenues), and in anticipation of the big night, we're bringing you a special interview with Guimarães himself. Below, watch as he chat with Susan Blackwell about how he got his start in magic, what makes his style special, and bringing his show to New York.
