Next Level Effects was founded by René Nijman, a magic effect creator and consultant based in The Hague, Netherlands. With a background in directing, visual effects, and camera work for television and theater, René has transitioned to full-time magic creation and consulting over the past ten years.
An early role as creative consultant and effects creator for the hit magic TV show Mindf*ck, now in its seventh prime-time season, served as a launchpad. Since then, Next Level Effects has expanded to provide custom effects and innovative solutions to leading magicians and productions worldwide.
While initially focused on hardware engineering and electronics-based effects, René has expanded into advanced software solutions like Prevision and LifeLike Sketcher AI that leverage cutting-edge technology for magical performances.
