Niels Houtepen is a corporate illusionist. His interest in mind experiments and illusions was peaked at a young age. Influencing someone's way of thinking and surprising the viewer is a challenge to this day.
In 2021 he wrote 'Communicatie is een illusie' or communication is an illusion which quickly secured a place in the top ten of the Mangement Books Top 100. He wrote this to share his experiences as an illusionist and his view on communication with the general public.
