ZugMagic - that is the name of the water show that Daniel Christen and Dänu Schärer launched in the Zug Lake in 2023. In 2023, we developed a water show with views of Zug. In 2024, we developed a show with our landmark, the Zytturm: It has been ticking for centuries and sets the pace for the surroundings - TikTak, TikTak, TikTak! With the multimedia staging, we take up the themes of the Zytturm and create a unique water spectacle: How the tower was built, how it was threatened by foreign powers and fire, and how it was seduced by lovers. We created a fascinating journey through time with classical music, water, light, lasers and video: From the Big Bang to the future - with ticking clockworks, zodiac signs, clouds of fire and floating celestial beings.

Das erste ZugMagic fand vom 1. – 29. Juli 2023 bei der Rössliwiese statt. An den 25 Tagen verwandelte sich das Zuger Seebecken in ein magisches Spektakel aus Wasser, Licht, Laser, Video und Sound. 80'000 Personen haben ZugMagic gesehen, wir waren überwältigt! Am 14. Juli 2024 fegte ein Sturm über den Zugersee und zerstörte die Anlage. Mit vereinten Kräften aus Wien gelang es ZugMagic 3 Tage später wieder in Betrieb zu nehmen.
