He reached the semi-finals in Das Supertalent and travels globally as a football freestyler and social media star, thrilling audiences with extraordinary tricks.
Lily Beach’s Director of Sales & Marketing, Desislav Gospodinov, said: “To have someone like Marcel Gurk coming here is a huge opportunity for our guests to learn something novel such as football freestyling from one of the best freestylers in the world.

This exciting activity will certainly be a highlight for our guests of all ages during this Halloween period.”
