I am not a Spy. This is a Magic Show.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PREMIERE!
“I Am Not a Spy. This Is a Magic Show!”
by Magical Katrina at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival
About the Show
This is a magic show. Katrina is not a spy… stop bringing that up. You’re just making it weird. Seriously. Who mentioned spies?
The show involves 45 minutes of comedic noir, theatrical sleight of hand, mentalism that will absolutely not be used to extract sensitive intel from anyone in the front row, and a surprising number of weirdly correct predictions. Audience members may find themselves onstage and Katrina may accidentally refer to them as ‘agents’. Any classified files involved are, for legal reasons, regarded as props. Any impossibly accurate mind reading is, legally speaking, stagecraft. We’re going with ‘stagecraft’. Definitely. Forget about the whole ‘spy’ thing. There’s no proof. Who mentioned spies anyway?
Think ‘James Bond’ but even more absurd and funnier. Magical Katrina is as much of an expert at escapes as she is at being able to tell if someone is lying. She’s also remarkably good with cards. There will be more lipstick, and significantly fewer dead double agenst, than your average spy movie. This show is for adult audiences but kids 8+ will have fun as well. Perhaps it’s about a ‘femme fatale’ on a top-secret mission that may or may not involve innocent bystanders. It’s a magic show. There’s no proof of any connection with spies or espionage. Just buy some tickets already.
If a performance is listed as sold out, please try anyway. We need all the spies audience members we can get and we’ll squeeze in who we can. Loyalty is a virtue. So is showing up at the door looking hopeful.

(If this show really had anything to do with spies, which it totallly does not, putting the details online would be an extremely poor decision.)
About Magical Katrina:
Magical Katrina is a world-traveling magician, mentalist and speaker. Not a spy. Her signature style is theatrical, sharp and interactive. She offers a unique mix of drama, mystery and whimsy, backed by serious magic chops and a real love for the room she’s in. Katrina makes magic that’s funny, smart and rather cinematic, has nothing to do with spying, and that leaves audiences slightly unsure of what they saw. She frequently tours, performing magic and mentalism in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and London.
Stage & Screen:
Magical Katrina has performed in over 20 countries and has toured internationally with the stage show Champions of Magic. She has appeared on Masters of Illusion, Penn & Teller: Fool Us and the kids TV show Blippi. Most recently, she starred alongside Chappell Roan in the Red Wine Supernova music video.
Clients:
Magical Katrina’s client list reads like a spy trying to make herself sound impressive (but they’re all real). They include: Formula 1, Porsche, Prada, Ritz-Carlton, Google, Meta, Open AI, Hourglass cosmetics and Huda Beauty.
Magical Katrina has performed for the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood and is a proud member of The Magic Circle in London.
Educator & Lecturer:
When she’s not performing, Magical Katrina lectures to other magicians on the business and craft of magic. She has lectured at the TAOM Convention, PCAM, the International Brotherhood of Magicians, the Society of American Magicians, Penguin Magic and the Magic Circle. Not that anyone’s counting, but she has five magic awards on the shelf. None of them are for spying.
Press & Advocacy:
Magical Katrina has been featured in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, NPR and the LA Times. She’s an advocate for ‘Magicians Without Borders’ and ‘Emergency Circus’.
