At Europa-Park, the magician duo Timothy Trust & Diamond received the prestigious Magician of the Year 2025 award. The Magical Circle of Germany honored the artists on Friday, Oct. 24, for their world-class magic. MZvD President Lars Tepel presented the title, which is awarded to exceptional talents that create new elements in magic and serve as figureheads.
Meaning of the Title
The Magician of the Year title recognizes personalities who are particularly successful in the art of magic and reach a broad public. Timothy Trust & Diamond thus follow the 2023 winners, Siegfried & Joy. They stand for exceptional quality and innovation in their field.
Successes at Europa-Park

Innovative Approaches
The duo distances itself from common clichés of the classic magician-assistant setup. Instead, they embody a philosophy of equal partnership that appears not only on stage but also off it. They create characters and roles that offer unexpected possibilities for performance, always with a strong awareness of societal developments.
Laudation and Performance Forms
In the laudation from the Magical Circle of Germany, it is emphasized that their performances are inclusive, encouraging, and motivating. Timothy Trust & Diamond present magic with unmistakable finesse in modern form, whether as grand illusionists, speaking magicians, emcees, or in galas, variety shows, or family shows.
The Mental Act
The centerpiece of their performances is the mental act. In it, Timothy Trust has audience members wordlessly hand him random objects, while Diamond, with eyes blindfolded, can name what he holds in his hands—even down to the number on an ID document. This act is enigmatic, astonishing, and magical.
Role Model for the Magic World
