The work behind the impossible

The idea must be extraordinary. The delivery must feel effortless.

Whether the final moment happens in a guest’s hands, on a film set, or before a theater audience, the work begins with context: who is performing, who is watching, and what the moment needs to accomplish.

02 · Motion picture consulting

Birds of Prey

Sleight-of-hand consulting for the Warner Bros. motion picture starring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn.

Roby provided sleight-of-hand consulting for Warner Bros.’ Birds of Prey. The work brought specialist magical technique into a major motion-picture production and contributed to the physical language of an iconic character.

Screen consulting requires more than a strong effect: the movement must suit the performer, remain clear to the camera, and belong naturally to the world of the production.

03 · Digital & social

Millions of views. One clear moment.

Original magic and consulting for social media and YouTube, including multiple viral videos viewed millions of times.

Magic for a phone screen has its own demands. The idea must read quickly, the framing must preserve the impossibility, and the performance must feel immediate rather than manufactured for the edit.

Roby develops and refines effects for digital creators, performers, brands, and production teams, adapting each concept to its platform and audience.
