Who are you?
My name is Lasse, I’m 36 years old and I work with emergency railroad maintenance.
Which crew do you belong to?
I am the chief of the security crew, and I’ve been a part of the Magicon crew for almost 4 years.
What is your best Magicon memory?
All of the international llama days (we celebrate those in Magicon), where the crew comes together to hang out and enjoy great food.
What is your favorite thing about being in the Magicon crew?
Meeting new people is great, but also the feeling I get after we have opened the main entrance, people have come inside and Magicon can finally begin – and do it’s magic!
Why should other people join the Magicon crew?
I think it’s a great way to build a community. It’s also a great way to give back and contribute.
People should consider what they want to do as a volunteer, and contribute with. You may be a project manager, but if you want to try something else – you should!
Have you learned anything or evolved a skill during your time as a Magicon volunteer?
I’ve learned how to work in google workspace, and use excel sheets.
I have also improved my management and planning skills.

*dead emoji* *laugh emoji*
Which crew do you belong to?
I’m the chief of the Event crew at Magicon Unchained, and this is my second year being part of the Magicon crew.
What is your best Magicon memory?
The audience reaction to whatever happens on the stage, it is especially cool when working backstage, as you can’t see what’s going on there, but you can literally feel the screams and excitement of the audience. It’s so emotional!
What is your favorite thing about being in the Magicon crew?
Being part of the dedicated, cool, talented, giving group of people is the biggest thing for me! Also, I never thought I could work with so many creative things – from planning out the program schedule to helping rig the stage for the cover band performance. But that is what is cool about Magicon – you can experience all these things and see how your ideas get brought to life.
Why should other people join the Magicon crew?
It’s a very rewarding and interesting experience to volunteer at Magicon. It’s not just an organisation, it is a friend group that dreams together and makes these dreams come true. Also you can learn from your colleagues here from various industries – from healthcare to IT – you name them!
Have you learned anything or evolved a skill during your time as a Magicon volunteer?
I have learned so many new things about the entertainment industry! I also really want to take the first aid certification that Sunniva trains us for.
