Noora Karma is a wonderful magician and mentalist based in Finland. Her new series of mentalism shows on the country's biggest network starts on Saturday. Banachek and Marc Paul were consultants on the series, and less importantly so was I.
The series consists of TEN one-hour shows -- yep, that's right, TEN HOURS of mentalism! So far as I am aware, this is the largest single series for a major TV network that any mentalist has ever had. Working on the show was an amazing and wonderful experience.
There are some very cool effects and routines in the series, including some that you have definitely never seen before. For one divination routine, Noora had to learn to genuinely fire a bow and arrow to near-Olympic standards of accuracy at a rotating target. No gaffs or gimmicks — she did it for real (honestly!), and was trained by a former Olympic archery coach for the purpose! Another large-scale item called for her to bungee jump off a 75 metre bridge! But there's plenty of cool, close-up and table-top mentalism too.
I couldn't be happier for Noora and the production team. Noora was great to work with, and the small TV team worked SO hard on this you wouldn't believe.
You can watch the series online: http://www.mtvkatsomo.fi/ . You don't need to know Finnish to follow what's going on in mentalism terms.
Noora has never been booked for any major convention in the UK, US or Europe. She would love to perform, lecture, show clips from the series, chat about the show and so on. (Just don’t ask her about the bungee jump!) Her website's pretty cool too: http://www.noorakarma.fi/en/.

Noora's website is amazing. Can't believe thus young lady has been missed in the States. She would be a natural for MindVention or Vegas. I can't find the series on the Finnish TV site. Tried searching for Nora, but no success. Any better link to the series? Possibly restricted outside Europe?

"Tried searching for Nora, but no success". Unsurprising, since that isn't her name!
Yes, Noora would be a hit at any of the major conventions in the US, Europe or elsewhere. She speaks totally fluent English by the way. Most Finns do, but Noora actually lived in London for a few years so she speaks it the way we do! She's a very good performer, and it's not just that she obviously looks a million dollars. She's very professional and likes to deliver plenty of fun on stage. Noora gave me the link mentioned above, and I'm sorry but that's all I have for now. I don't know why her show doesn't seem to appear on the site, but maybe it will as we get nearer to Saturday, when her show is broadcast. I don't know if the site will be restricted outside of Europe. If so, some people might suggest there are ways around this, but I couldn't possibly comment.
