Michael Halvarson

Halvarson made his professional stage debut at age 17 at Wallman's Golden Hits in Stockholm. He later performed in comedy clubs, variety shows and on radio and television across the Nordic region. His international profile rose with Koozå; reviews noted his pickpocket/clown routines by name. In 2011, Halvarson was one of the featured magicians—alongside Joe Labero and Charlie Caper—in SVT's Saturday-night series Helt magiskt. In 2012 he guested BBC One's The Magicians (series 2). In 2018, Swedish Radio reported that he would again perform with Cirque du Soleil in Monte Carlo. In 2024, he appeared in Big Apple Circus's Hometown Playground at Lincoln Center in New York, where Broadway.com described him as "the comedy pickpocket". == Style ==

Critics have described Halvarson's stage persona as a deft pickpocket/clown figure integrated between larger set-pieces in Koozå. == References ==
