We always ask ourselves a lot of questions before hiring a magician. Below are our answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Frequently asked questions about our magic shows - FAQ
We specialise in close-up magic with direct interaction with guests. Depending on the event, our services include cards, strings, coins, digital magic with iPad and telephone, mentalism, as well as various objects.
Over the last 25 years we’ve had to deal with all kinds of audiences: magic lovers, the amazed, the indifferent, the reluctant, the unreceptive, the jaded…..we’ve been able to adapt to every personality to satisfy every guest. We have created a modern approach with innovative magic that has generally never been seen before.
We’ve been working internationally for 25 years on a wide variety of events: VIP evenings, people nights, press launches, inaugurations, works councils, weddings, birthdays, etc. Our audiences have always been very varied, with very different characteristics: age, culture, origin, social background, experience, beliefs, personality, etc. We’re used to adapting to each guest by adjusting the type of magic, the presentation, the interactions, etc. to satisfy each guest and offer them a pleasant moment that will delight them.
Magic can sometimes have a corny image, such as the rabbit that falls out of the hat and the old magician who misses his tricks. We offer you innovative, modern close-up magic that has nothing to do with these old clichés. Your guests will tell you that they were dreaming and that they had never seen this type of magic before.

Yes, fluently. We can provide the entire service in English. We have worked and lived in many foreign countries over the last 25 years. We also know how to handle mixed audiences with part in French and part in English.
Yes, we offer different levels of personalisation. For example, we can insert your logo or a first name if it’s a birthday or wedding. We can also include goodies or gifts for your guests. We can also create a tailor-made tour with the storytelling you want.
Yes, it’s our core business! Inaugurations, product launches, seminars, roadshows, special days… we’re involved at every stage of a company’s life to bring a touch of magic to events and make them unique. We also offer customisation services to reinforce messages and support the brand.
Yes, we’ve been developing some very innovative digital magic tricks for several years now. We use an Ipad tablet and guests’ phones.
We call “children’s magic” magic that is aimed at children under the age of 10. It’s a different kind of magic to that performed by adults. Magic tricks must be understandable for a young age, and you need to take the time to explain and tell stories. If your event is exclusively for children under 10, then we advise you to hire a magician who specialises in children’s magic. If there are only a few children under the age of 10 at your event then we’ll be happy to do a few magic tricks for them as well as balloon sculpting.
There are no rules, but to secure a date the sooner the better. Some dates are reserved more than 1 year in advance, like weddings, or year after year for recurring corporate events. On the other hand, some organizers realize a few days before their event that magic would be a real plus. That’s not a problem for us, as long as we’re available on the desired date.
The duration of a service can vary from 30 minutes to several hours. It all depends on the number of guests, the service required and the organization of the event. For example, if it’s a daytime performance at a company seminar or during a meal for a group of ten or so people, 30 minutes seems to be just right. On the other hand, if we’re performing magic at tables during a large meal, this will probably take several hours, since we’ll be intervening mainly between courses, so as not to disturb the guests while they’re eating.
Our prices vary according to the service required, the number of people, the date and the location. Give us the details of your project and we’ll send you an estimate. There are a number of ways for you to get in touch with us. You can visit our contact page by clicking here.
Because of logistical constraints, we don’t work with animals. We know how to perform at all kinds of events in France and abroad, so we have very light logistics.
It all depends on the type of event. The best time is often at the beginning of the event, during the aperitif or at the start of the meal. Magic can bring people together and start conversations. Contact us to describe your event, and we’ll draw on our 25 years of experience to tell you what the best moment is.
No, we’ve developed services that can be adapted to any event and require no special logistics. Guests can be standing or seated, there can be tables or not, we can be indoors or outdoors. The only things to watch out for are lighting and music. Dimmed lighting and background music are no problem, but a venue that’s completely dark or right next to a loudspeaker with the sound turned up full blast would be very problematic for the guest experience.
We usually arrive 30 minutes in advance, unless otherwise requested..
We work mainly in the south-east of France (150km around Avignon), in Paris and abroad. If we can’t come to you, we’ll try to recommend another magician in your area.
Yes, on a regular basis. There are no limits. We’ve worked in Belgium, Spain, Austria, the United States, China, Turkey, Thailand…
Of course, depending on the distance, the magician can perform over the phone, by video or face-to-face. The magician will be part of your event and will interact with almost all your guests, so it’s very important that you get a good feel for him before you hire him.
