Award-winning comedic noir magic and mentalism.

Born at The Magic Circle in London.
Extended by popular demand at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
Featured international act at the Melbourne Magic Festival.
And now (finally) coming home to San Francisco!



THE SHOW:

Any "classified files" are props. Any "agents" are audience volunteers. Any impossibly accurate predictions are… um… stagecraft. Pure mentalism.

It's just your typical comedic noir magic show, packed with capers, laughs, twists, and totally non-suspicious mind games. Not a femme fatale spy on a top-secret mission that innocent bystanders might incidentally be drawn into.

Definitely not that.

One woman. One impossible mission. 75 minutes of sleight of hand, mind reading, escape work, and a story that sneaks up on you when you're too busy laughing to notice.

A HOMECOMING OVER A DECADE IN THE MAKING

Katrina started performing magic in the Bay Area. The Great Star Theater (Paul Nathan's beloved Chinatown venue) is one of the very first places she ever saw live magic and mentalism performed.

Over a decade later, she's coming back to stand on that stage with her own one-woman show.

Some missions bring you full circle.


WHERE THIS SHOW HAS BEEN

London. The concept was first performed at The Magic Circle - the most storied magic society in the world, and exactly the sort of place a spy would choose to hide in plain sight.

Hollywood. The show had its world premiere at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival, where it was extended by popular demand and earned two award nominations:
- Nominee — Adelaide Fringe Award
- WINNER — Take the Stage Award presented by Theatre 68 Arts Complex

Melbourne.The show traveled to Australia as one of the featured international performances of the Melbourne Magic Festival.
San Francisco. You are here.


WHAT AUDIENCES AND CRITICS SAID

"Magical Katrina is the future of magic."
- Micah Cover ( Hollywood Fringe certified reviewer)
"10/10 magic show! Prepare to be dazzled." — Jason Pollak (Hollywood Fringe certified reviewer)
"Delightful, hilarious, entertaining and magical!" — Lexi Sloan (Hollywood Fringe certified reviewer)
Reviewer Mike Reyes called the show playful and inventive, -the kind of festival experience that reminds you why taking a chance on something new is worth it.

Critics repeatedly singled out the writing, praising how completely the magic serves the story instead of interrupting it, and how the narrative holds together from the first beat to the last. Audiences described jaw-dropping illusions, sharp comic pacing, and audience interaction that puts everyone at ease: with more than one reviewer noting they had never seen a magic show quite like it.
