ANDRON
An intimate evening of close-up magic.
Twenty-five guests. One table.
It happens in your hands.
There's no stage. Six guests sit at the table with the magician. Everyone else sits facing them, in a front row on the floor and on risers just above it, close enough to see every card.
The show doesn't stay on the table, either. Guests hold sealed envelopes. One person holds a box. Someone brings a new deck of cards. Some of it you'll watch up close. Some of it happens while you're the one holding it.

Where you'll sit.
Sergio sits at a round table with six guests around its far side. The near side stays open, so the front row and the risers look straight onto the cards.
Origins
Sergio Sastre is an award-winning magician. He has performed on television, radio and theater stages around the world, and taught thousands of other magicians. Alongside magic, he has spent most of his life studying Eastern philosophy, including time in Japan and China. Over time, it shaped the kind of show he wanted to make.
Andron is that show, more than five years in the making. Sergio named it after the andrōn, the room in a Greek house where guests gathered for an evening of wine and ideas. He wanted the same kind of night, a small group sitting close, with something to talk about long after it ends.
