Family Christmas Show: "The Mysteries of Christmas"

"Les Mystères de Noël" (The Mysteries of Christmas) is a family magic show designed to bring children, parents, and grandparents together for a shared adventure. The audience doesn't just watch; they make choices, react, and take part in the action. Your guests become the show.

Visual magic, humor, and audience interaction come together over the course of 55 minutes in a world inspired by the magic of Christmas. This experience is perfect for corporate Christmas parties, community celebrations, or year-end family events.

The show notably drew an audience of nearly 400 people in Collonges-sous-Salève. The organizers, having previously worked with Harry Covert, chose to bring him back for this family event.

“The Mysteries of Christmas”: A Shared Family Experience

How does Santa Claus manage to visit every home in a single night? How does he know which gifts to bring?

These questions open the door to a world where magic, illusion, humor, and audience participation come together. The effects are visual enough for young children to enjoy, yet crafted enough to surprise adults too.

Children actively participate in the performance, but they aren't the only ones. Parents and grandparents can get involved as well. The audience's reactions and choices give every single show its own unique energy.

Participation is always strictly voluntary and lighthearted. No one is ever put on the spot or made fun of. Every guest invited to join in is valued and appreciated, no matter their age.

THE MYSTERIES OF CHRISTMAS

A 55-minute family show

“The Mysteries of Christmas” brings the entire room together around a visual and interactive experience. Children, parents, and grandparents experience the same show, with levels of engagement tailored to every generation. No two performances are ever completely alike, as the guests themselves become real key participants.

This format is ideal for Christmas corporate events, work councils (CSE), local community celebrations, municipal events, and private associations.

CLOSE-UP MAGIC BEFORE OR AFTER

Extend the experience up close with families

Close-up magic takes place just inches away from guests, in small groups.
Scheduled before the main show, it provides a warm welcome as families arrive, creating early interactions and keeping guests entertained before entering the main hall.
After the show, it extends the experience during drinks, snacks, or gift distributions. Harry moves among the guests to offer personal, up-close magic performed right before their eyes—and sometimes right in their hands.

Close-up magic is an optional add-on: its duration and timing are tailored to your guest count and event schedule.

SANTA CLAUS'S GRAND ENTRANCE

Turn Santa's arrival into a grand finale

If your event includes Santa Claus, his arrival can be seamlessly built into the show's finale.
Instead of simply walking into the room, he magically appears in front of the audience right before gift distribution or photo sessions. The show and Santa's arrival blend into a single, cohesive moment without breaking the flow.
This option requires advanced planning: checking access points, coordinating with the organizer, practicing, and integrating a precise cue into the show.

Harry Covert handles the staging of the entrance. Arranging Santa Claus and the gifts remains the organizer's responsibility.

The show presented contained no hypnosis sequences. A separate hypnosis session was organized with volunteers prior to the show, outside of the main family program. The Christmas show relies entirely on visual magic, audience participation, and humor.

A show designed for every generation

A Christmas event rarely gathers just one age group. Children come with parents and often grandparents, and everyone should be able to enjoy the moment together.

“The Mysteries of Christmas” was created specifically for intergenerational audiences. Visual magic and humor immediately captivate younger children. Adults enjoy following how the illusions are constructed, trying to guess the tricks, and often end up just as amazed as the kids.

This isn't a show where adults sit passively just to supervise the children. The whole family shares the same adventure, enjoying it through different eyes while building a lasting memory together.

The show can also be performed in English, making it perfect for international audiences around Lake Geneva, in hotels, and alpine ski resorts.
