Bring theatrical polish to your stitching with El Mago, a headless magician framed by a floating top hat, sharp suit jacket, waistcoat, tie and a sweep of cape. The black, blue and turquoise base is lifted with red, white, beige and grey details, while small sparkling stars give the whole figure that stage-magic finish. It suits anyone drawn to elegant showmanship rather than novelty, especially on pieces that want a slightly mysterious, dressed-up look.
Because the design is open and lightly stitched, it will sit more comfortably on shirts, blouses, cotton jackets and smoother sweatshirt fleece than a heavy, filled motif. The clean tailoring in the coat and vest reads particularly well on dark fabrics, where the pale accents and star details stand out without making the embroidery feel bulky. I would place it on the back of a denim jacket, the front of a tote, or on costume-inspired separates where that floating hat and empty collar can do the talking.
