Invite-only event

At the First Time Talent Show, the magic of spontaneity meets the enthralling experience of seeing someone perform something for the first time.

Participants sign up to perform the night of the event. Some come prepared with new acts, like plate spinning, belly dancing, and a magic routine. Adding to the evening's excitement, participants may embrace the challenge of selecting a pre-determined talent on the spot where they will try their hand making a balloon animal, doing yo-yo tricks, or participating in a spelling bee for the first time.

The highlight of the show are the brave handful who sign up for a mystery talent, discovering their act only when they step on stage. Whether it's giving an impromptu haircut, painting someone’s face, or delivering a ventriloquist improv comedy routine, these participants prove we all have hidden talents to step into. Captivated by the triumph of watching someone rise to an unexpected challenge and succeed in ways they never imagined, the audience experiences an unforgettable night of talent and entertainment.
