The artist
The elegance of the impossible.
South Korean magician Yu Hojin creates visual stories with cards, coins and everyday objects. Music and precise gestures give his manipulation an emotional dimension. In 2012, he won the FISM Grand Prix in Stage Magic in Blackpool.
His career includes The Illusionists on Broadway and a place in the America’s Got Talent final in 2022. A semi-finalist on AGT: Fantasy League in 2024, he won The Magic Star, the South Korean magic competition broadcast by SBS, that same year.
He also leads Hundred Fingers, a collective of ten South Korean magicians combining manipulation, choreography and music. In 2026, the group finished third on America’s Got Talent, having received two Golden Buzzers from Howie Mandel.

Where is Yu Hojin based?
Yu Hojin is based in South Korea and performs internationally.
What kind of performance does Yu Hojin present?
Yu Hojin combines visual manipulation with storytelling through gesture and music. His work extends beyond cards: Coin of Time explores coin manipulation, while his television appearances reveal other creations.
Can we enquire about a performance seen on television?
Yes. Send us the video or the name of the piece that interests you. We’ll confirm with Yu Hojin whether it is currently available for live events, its running time and staging requirements, and whether several pieces can be combined.
What is Hundred Fingers?
Hundred Fingers is the ten-magician collective led by Yu Hojin. Its performances bring manipulation, choreography and music together to create illusions that depend on the whole ensemble.
The collective received two Golden Buzzers from Howie Mandel on America’s Got Talent in 2026: one at the auditions and another during the live quarter-finals, taking them straight to the final.
In CONNECTED, separate performers gradually become one coordinated body. Han. Kuk. In. draws on Korean music, movement and cultural memory. These works form a distinct collective repertoire alongside Yu Hojin’s solo career.
Can he perform at a corporate event?
Yes, subject to availability and a suitable setting for the selected act. A clear view of the performance, an attentive audience and appropriate sound and lighting are important to the experience.
Is the performance suitable for an international audience?
His manipulation work communicates through gesture, music and visual transformation. We’ll confirm the presentation and any language requirements for the selected performance.
What are the technical requirements?
The technical needs depend on the act. Stage dimensions, sightlines, background, lighting, sound and backstage preparation space must be agreed in advance. We’ll provide the relevant technical rider and check the setting with your team.
