Interactive children's magic in the cave entrance of Franconian Switzerland
The Pottenstein Devil's Cave, with over 1,500 meters of exhibition space, is one of the largest dripstone caves in Southern Germany. In the summer, the town of Pottenstein organizes a series »Culture and Children's Culture in the Devil's Cave« there, utilizing the unique acoustic atmosphere of the cave entrance for concerts, theater, and children's events. A constant 12 °C in the entrance area ensures cool cultural enjoyment in the midst of the Franconian Switzerland high summer.
Magician Tassini specializes in interactive children's shows. In his program »Magic to Participate In«, he directly involves children aged four and up in the tricks — they help make objects disappear, find cards, and transform scarves. The highlight is the final sequence, where a »small, funny magic elephant« appears.
Pottenstein, with around 5,500 inhabitants, is the center of Franconian Switzerland, located in the district of Bayreuth, state of Bavaria. The Devil's Cave, along with Pottenstein Castle, is among the most visited attractions in the region. The event series »Culture in the Devil's Cave« is part of the cultural calendar of Franconian Switzerland with over 30 dates per summer.
The show lasts 45 minutes and is designed for children aged four and up. Parents, grandparents, and companions are explicitly invited to laugh along with the magic fun. As the event takes place in the cave entrance, it is weather-independent — playable unchanged even in summer rain or heat.
The magic show »Magic to Participate In« by Tassini is a single event in the »Culture in the Devil's Cave« series on Friday, August 14, 2026, at 6:00 PM. Doors open at 5:30 PM in the cave entrance with its constant temperature of 12 °C.
Tassini actively involves children aged four and up in his tricks: scarves and cards disappear in children's hands, coins reappear, magic ropes cannot be tied. The finale is the appearance of a small magic elephant — a classic of Pottenstein's children's culture.
