Exhibitor Testimonial:
When Magic Meets True Understanding. — "Shipping Technics Logistics" September 2026
(translated)
Burkhard Schmidt—The Great Bagatello—was far more to us than just a magician at our trade show booth.
At the STL in Kalkar, we got to experience what happens when extraordinary magical craftsmanship meets professionalism, empathy, and a genuine interest in the client.
Burkhard impressed us right from the start of the preparations. He had thoroughly researched our company, CARPET CHECK®, and our work. He not only understood what we do, but also what message we wanted to convey to our trade show visitors.
Our goal was to use a shell game to bring the decision-making process surrounding carpet value retention to life: What do we see? What remains hidden? And how do we make a responsible decision when we don’t know all the factors involved?
Burkhard didn’t just implement this idea. He understood it, took it a step further, and brought it to life in his own unique and fascinating way.
Particularly impressive was his ability to adapt to a wide variety of people. Whether reserved or curious, professionally interested or simply open to a moment of surprise—Burkhard found a way to connect with everyone. With ease, humor, and remarkable sensitivity, he managed to spark people’s interest in our work while simultaneously putting a smile on their faces.
Throughout it all, what set him apart as a person was always evident: his many years of experience, his positive curiosity, his loving nature, and his sincere respect for each and every individual.
He didn’t just draw people to our booth. He conveyed our message to them in a way that leaves a lasting impression.
For us, Burkhard was a true asset—professionally, personally, and in terms of the atmosphere he created.
If you’re looking for a magician who not only entertains but also identifies with his assignment, inspires people, and brings corporate messages to life in an extraordinary way, we can wholeheartedly recommend the great Bagatello.
Thank you so much, dear Burkhard, for this wonderful collaboration!
