||| FROM HENRY ‘OZ |||
After a magical summer of private performances across Orcas Island, professional magician Henry ‘Oz is bringing his unique blend of comedy and illusion to the Sea View Theater stage on Sunday, November 2 at 6 p.m.
Known locally as “The German Magician,” Henry has been a fixture at island weddings, birthday celebrations, Christmas parties, and private and business events throughout 2024 and 2025. His upcoming show marks his first public performance at Sea View Theatre, offering islanders a chance to experience the entertainment that has delighted private audiences all summer.
“People kept stopping me on the street asking where they could buy tickets to see me perform,” Henry said. “I decided it was time for a show accessible to everyone in our community.”
The timing is intentional. With the busy tourist season behind us, Henry wanted to create an exclusive experience for the locals who have supported him throughout the year. “It’s my way of thanking the community for such a magical summer,” he explained.
The 45-minute show promises audience interaction, laughter, and carefully selected illusions from Henry’s international career. Attendees can expect classic magic, comedy integration, and what Henry describes as “the best moments happen when the audience becomes part of the magic.”
Henry’s decision to perform at Sea View Theateer also reflects his commitment to supporting local institutions. “Sea View was closed for a while, and as a movie lover, that made me sad,” he said. “I want to encourage the community to keep our local cinema alive.”
With over 50 professional performances annually and experience performing in both Germany and the United States, Henry brings a European flair to his American audiences. His German accent and self-deprecatng humor have become signature elements of his shows.
Tickets are $24 and available at german-magician.com. All posters displayed around Eastsound feature QR codes for easy ticket purchase. Advanced tickets offer a slight discount compared to door prices, and discounts are available for seniors and veterans.
Looking ahead, Henry is planning something special for January 2026: magic courses for children and teenagers. “A parent at a birthday party asked if I teach,” he said with a laugh. “Since then, the idea has been growing like an uncontrollable weed in the garden of my mind.”
For now, his focus remains on November 2. “Come support local entertainment, support Sea View Theater, and let’s have a magical evening together,” Henry said. “I promise you won’t be disappointed.”
