Nikola Arkane LIVE (Penguin LIVE)

"I happened to be in Columbus for Nikola's show and had great pleasure not only watching Nikola work but seeing the faces of her audience – from kids to adults – all having an amazing time. Whether you're looking for fresh material for your children's show or just want to see an amazing performer in her element, I'd recommend this for all kids' entertainers." - R P Wilson


"Nikola and FizzWizzPop are both inspirations to me. As someone who makes their living doing family shows on Disney cruise line, I can tell you firsthand that anything that either one of these two ladies have to share will be hugely valuable to you and your audiences." - Jon Armstrong

"Nikola is my favourite magician of all time. Many people perform magic but when I watch Nikola I genuinely feel like I’m watching a real magician. If you are a family entertainer or a kids entertainer and want to learn how to stand out from the crowd, how to make your magic more than just tricks and how to dominate in your area then this Penguin Live should be required viewing Honestly I think Nikola and Penguin are insane for putting this out so cheaply. The content is pure gold. ‘Add To Cart’ right now before they come to their senses!" - Craig Petty
