Renowned illusionist Steve Carlin and acclaimed French magician Moulla added a touch of magic to the night. Carlin captivated the audience with an act combining the art of illusion with the spirit of the casino, featuring a poker chip performance and a playful live pickpocketing stunt. Moulla’s “Augmented Magic” blended technology and illusion, as he transformed the SiGMA logo into a new version celebrating the milestone anniversary and amazed guests with an interactive trick that saw a live photo appear on a guest’s phone. Known for his award-winning shows “Décroche” and “Miracles,” Moulla brought his signature blend of magic and innovation to the stage.

The evening concluded with a heartfelt charitable auction, led by the charismatic Rick Goddard, in support of SiGMA Foundation projects. More than just an industry gathering, the night was a celebration of community, generosity, and achievement, leaving a memorable mark on SiGMA’s first decade of success.
