GUINNESS WORLD RECORD 2025
Officially confirmed
Claudia & Michael Late have been recognized by Guinness World Records as of October 2025 as World Record Holders for “Largest playing cards used
in a card trick.”
With playing cards over two meters tall, we’ve quite literally redefined the limits of stage magic – and written a small piece of Austrian magic history along the way.
The record was achieved in Liezen, Austria, and has been officially approved by Guinness World Records.
“Magic lives through wonder – and sometimes, through sheer size.”
— Claudia & Michael Late
We’re proud to share this special moment with our audience – live on stage and soon in our upcoming showreel.

MAGIC WITH A STORY
Two magicians from Austria. A
show that moves people worldwide.
Claudia & Michael Late are among Austria’s most internationally successful magicians. Their specialty: grand illusions with strong impact – modern, clear, and emotionally charged.
What makes their shows special is not only what happens on stage – but the feeling afterwards. Their style is direct, surprising, and moving.
Their illusions are sharp. But above all: people like them. Or as one director put it: “With these two, I’d go for a drink right after the show.”
And that is their strength. Claudia & Michael create magic with personality – approachable, stylish, and without arrogance. Sometimes quiet and poetic. Sometimes spectacular.
Always with the audience in mind. Clear, powerful – and images that resonate.
In addition, there are their extraordinary illusions: classics that they retell in their own way you think it will. Every piece carries an unexpected twist – from the escape trunk to the sword box to the flying wooden cottage. Effects that begin familiar and end utterly inexplicable.
Whether on Britain’s Got Talent, on cruise ships, or at international festivals across Europe and Asia – their goal remains the same: to create magic that lasts. Not only in the mind. But in the heart.
