A unique and personal form of entertainment for a funeral, memorial service, or farewell gathering.
Quintus van Amstel performs magic that is tailored to the person being remembered and the atmosphere of the occasion. Subdued when appropriate, warm and cheerful when the occasion allows.
-Saying goodbye is different for everyone-
A funeral magician may not be the first thing that comes to mind at a funeral or cremation. Yet magic can play a very special role at a farewell. Not as a show to draw attention to the performer, but as a brief moment of wonder, remembrance, and connection.
Quintus van Amstel provides personalized, walk-around magic performances during funerals, condolence gatherings, and memorial services. The acts are tailored to the person who has passed away, their life story, and the wishes of their loved ones. Sometimes a small detail from someone’s life serves as the inspiration for a little miracle. Sometimes a performance ties in with a hobby, profession, quote, memory, or piece of music
associated with the deceased. Quintus’s magic has won numerous awards both at home and abroad. The magic is appropriate and of the highest caliber.
After the ceremony, Quintus mingles with the attendees in a respectful and open manner. He connects with the bereaved and guests. When the occasion allows, Quintus performs small miracles up close. This might be a quiet moment between two people, or it might be a smile or an unexpected laugh that provides a brief moment of relief. With his magic,
The mood of the gathering sets the tone. At a subdued farewell, the magic remains calm and subtle. If the deceased was someone who loved humor and conviviality, and the atmosphere among the attendees is more exuberant, Quintus can naturally go along with that. The goal is not to impose a certain atmosphere, but to align with the farewell as the bereaved wish to experience it.
-Also During the Ceremony-
In consultation, Quintus can also perform a short central act during the ceremony. This can, for example, be performed to music that held special meaning for the deceased.
In this way, a moment of magic can become part of the ceremony itself, without turning it into a full-fledged magic show. The music, the memory of the deceased, and the magic can together create a personal and symbolic moment.
-Personal Consultation-
A meaningful funeral is different for everyone. A personal way to say goodbye at a burial or cremation is important. That’s why Quintus is happy to discuss your wishes with you.
Ultimately, it’s not about the magician. It’s about the farewell.
The feedback Quintus regularly receives afterward perhaps best sums up what this form of entertainment can mean: “A funeral magician—I’ve never experienced that before… but it fit so well!”
-Few Photos-
Quintus deliberately does not take photos or video recordings of funerals and memorial services. Nor does he ask the bereaved for permission afterward to use images from the farewell for promotional purposes. The farewell and the privacy of the bereaved are paramount. That’s why this form of entertainment is, unfortunately, harder to capture on camera than other performances.

Residents had a great time on New Year's Eve. It was great, residents sang along. So nice to see that when you get older you can still enjoy yourself so much!

Quintes came into our house in immediately went past all the people to amaze them. He did a nice job of getting everyone involved and people joined in right away. We had a drinks and gourmet with 21 people where he caused some commotion. 1.5 hours was maybe a bit long. An hour would have been nice too. We were amazed and laughed.

What a beautiful party it turned out to be for my mother's 90th birthday thanks to Quintus' performance. He knows how to enthuse everyone. Everyone sang along at the top of their voices with the recognizable songs. It was built up to a beautiful story in which the elderly recognized themselves. How valuable that is! After a few days they are still talking about it! Highly recommended.

Everyone was enthusiastic! Quintus is super good as a magician but also enormously friendly as a person. He feels the atmosphere and people well. Both with older people and with children. We will definitely ask him again.

How our clients enjoyed your performance!!!!! You indicated that you had never performed in disability care before, but were you fun, sweet and caring to our clients. You sang with them, you danced with them, they were seen by you. You are really recommended for our target group! Thank you for your fun performance.
