Festival Vive La Magie

For its 19th edition, the Vive la Magie Festival returns with its new production, “Plein les yeux.”

For the first time, several French Magic Champions are coming together on the same stage. Eight artists present the most prestigious acts in French illusionism in a theatrical show inspired by Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin, the father of modern magic.

Recognized in the most prestigious national, European, and world championships, the magicians of the Vive la Magie festival are among the most creative artists of their generation.

Competing in ingenuity and dexterity, they are applauded on the stages of the most prestigious theaters and cabarets. Driven by a daring staging accompanied by the dreamlike voice of Robert-Houdin, the artists of “Plein les Yeux” showcase their full range of talents while breaking free from the conventions of the traditional emcee. Thus, acts as diverse as they are in their aesthetics and imagination find their cohesion through a historical and cultural narrative accessible to all.

All the techniques and sensibilities of magic come together in a show designed for the general public. Grand illusions, sleight of hand, poetic magic, burlesque, and mentalism blend together on a timeless journey designed to amaze audiences of all ages. A spectacular 1 hour and 50-minute experience with no intermission, performed by award-winning artists from France and around the world.
