Thimon von Berlepsch

magician, hypnotist and bestselling author

At the age of 13, Thimon von Berlepsch finds an antique book on “Modern Parlor Magic” in the attic of Schloss Berlepsch, the ancestral seat of the family since 1369. The discovery lays the foundation for his current work: As a magician, hypnotist and bestselling author, he enters international stages with his art, gives lectures on the subject of personality development, passes on his knowledge in hypnosis seminars and helps people to free themselves from negative behaviours and transform those limiting patterns and restricting beliefs into powerful self-determination. His second book “Update for your subconsciousness” went straight to #1 on the SPIEGEL bestseller list.

Thimon’s playful way of combining magic, hypnosis and life-affirming messages is unique and inspires thousands of people to change the way they think, act and feel.
