Child of a magician

Quintus van Amstel (1982) is the child of the magician, Aubrey van Amstel. During childhood Quintus came into contact with the art of magic.

After a two years education programme for miming he performed musical mime-acts with his brother from 2005 to 2012 as “Duo Doorgedraaid”.
This background in physical comedy causes his approach to be theatrically different from magicians.

Quintus studied at Utrecht University of Art. Besides paintings, drawings and ceramics he designs and makes most of his props and costumes himself.

Quintus has won several prices with his acts in several countries.
At the Dutch championships of 2016 and 2018 he became Dutch champion of streetmagic.
