Enabling the future of magic
World renowned tech magician Charlie Caper is using Furhat to make his magic shows come to life.
The challenge
Charlie Caper is a globally acclaimed magician who has been touring the world with Robotricks – a sci-fi magic show about robots, artificial intelligence, and humans. As a live performer, you are in constant need to renew your performance and stand out from the crowd.
The solution
In Robotricks, Charlie uses Furhat as his sidekick giving audiences a glimpse into a future where social robots and humans co-exist.
Charlie maximizes the expressiveness of the speech synthesizer, head movements, and dry humour to create a character that raises the audience’s willing suspension of disbelief. The show demonstrates many of the limitations and powers of human-perception through the use of the robot as an interface to interact with the audience.
The result
In 2019 Robotricks played over 60 shows in 5 countries on 3 continents and won several awards.
We were so impressed with Charlie’s work with the robots that we made sure that Charlie joins our team. Charlie now is an interaction designer and performs many of our physical and virtual demos. If you would like to meet him, make sure to book a demo session through the link above.
