Michael Roy’s Cirque Du Papier

Specialties

Not your grade school teacher’s origami! Cirque du Papier is a mind-​bending, paper-​folding, your-world-ain’t-flat-no-more experience. Meandering event guests discover Folder Fantastique, Michael Roy deftly displaying dazzling digital dexterity, morphing single flat squares of paper into 3D creatures by mere folding. No cuts. No tears. No glue. Without missing a crease, Michael Roy simultaneously (and at the same time!) keeps guests amused with a nonstop stream of offbeat witty repartee and useless (yet strangely fascinating) information, revealing the secrets and history of folding art. Guests marvel as Michael Roy works magic, with amazing manipulations, quick wit, and cool «transformers».

To «win» a colorful creation of exquisite artistry, elegantly executed right before their eyes, Michael Roy will engage your guests in puzzles, games, riddles, attractions, and interactivities. And the best part? Your guests are always part of the show and may go home with an oh-​so-​cool keepsake.
