Swedish street magicians and illusionists Peter Brynolf and Jonas Ljung officially make their New York theatrical debut April 1 when Stalker opens at Off-Broadway's New World Stages following previews that began March 18.

A 90-minute magic show created and performed by Brynolf and Ljung, Stalker features a combination of street magic, illusions, and "physical mentalism." The production premiered in Sweden and toured the country from 2021–2022. 

Stalker is presented by fellow magicians Penn & Teller, who said in an earlier joint statement, “Brynolf & Ljung had us at ‘hallå’ with their mind-bending magic on our TV show. Now, we’re joining forces with them to unleash Stalker in New York City. We’re truly excited to join the producing team of this spellbinding spectacle.”

With direction by Edward Af Sillén (Eurovision), the Stalker creative team also includes lighting designer Jamie Roderick and sound designer Drew Levy. General management is by KGM Theatrical, and production management is by Tinc Productions.

Brynolf and Ljung had their international breakthrough on Britain's Got Talent in 2012, before launching their Swedish TV series Brynolf & Ljung—Street Magic, which ran 2015-2017.

Joining Penn & Teller on the producing team are Lifeline Entertainment's Lasse Karlsson and Michael Henriksson, with Pernilla and Niclas Nyrensten and All Things Live serving as co-producers.
