Award-winning magician and mentalist Katrina Kroetch, better known to audiences as “Magical Katrina,” is set to debut her new one-woman production, I Am Not a Spy. This Is a Magic Show., at the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival this June in Los Angeles.
Blending comedy, noir-inspired storytelling, sleight of hand, and mentalism, the show promises a theatrical experience packed with audience interaction, mystery, and plenty of tongue-in-cheek references to espionage. While the production repeatedly insists it has “nothing to do with spies,” the promotional material leans heavily into the playful secret-agent theme, complete with “classified files,” “agents” in the audience, and impossible predictions that may leave attendees questioning what is real.
The 45-minute performance is described as a fast-paced mix of theatrical magic, interactive mentalism, and comedic storytelling. Audience members may even find themselves pulled onstage as part of the experience. The show is recommended for ages 8 and up, though organizers joke that the kids may understand it better than the adults.
Performances will take place at the Madnani Theater during the Hollywood Fringe Festival on select dates throughout June, beginning with a preview performance on June 4. Tickets are currently available through the Hollywood Fringe Festival website.
Katrina Kroetch has built an international reputation as both a magician and mentalist, performing in more than 20 countries. She has toured with the live stage production Champions of Magic and has appeared on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Masters of Illusion, and the children’s program Blippi. Most recently, she appeared alongside Chappell Roan in the “Red Wine Supernova” music video.
Her client roster includes major brands such as Google, Meta, OpenAI, Porsche, and Prada. She is also a member of The Magic Circle and regularly lectures to fellow magicians on performance and the business of magic.
Performance Dates for I Am Not a Spy. This Is a Magic Show. include June 4, 11, 14, 15, 24, 25, and 26 during the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
