Festival Mondial de la Magie

The European benchmark for stage magic

The Festival Mondial de la Magie was born in 1954 from the vision of André Sanlaville, a magician from Lyon who had the revolutionary idea of bringing together the world's greatest magicians on the same stage. For over thirty years, this festival was the world reference for magic, presented in more than fifteen countries. After a long interruption, the festival was revived in 2022 by two passionate producers, scrupulously respecting the original specifications of excellence and quality.

A show for the whole family

The show lasts about two hours and presents a complete panorama of all currents of illusionism: grand illusions and mega-illusions, comedy magic, mentalism, card manipulation, digital magic, and light magic. The artists, considered among the best in the world, come from major international productions such as "The Illusionists" and "America's Got Talent". The artistic direction is managed by Claude William.

A European tour with a stop in the Indre region

The Festival Mondial de la Magie is a traveling show that performs in the largest venues in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. In the Indre region, it stops at the M.A.CH 36, a major performance hall in the Châteauroux-Déols agglomeration, located at rue Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in Déols. The M.A.CH 36, with its significant capacity and state-of-the-art technical equipment, offers ideal conditions for hosting the grand illusion acts and spectacular stage effects of the festival.

Internationally renowned artists

Each edition of the Festival Mondial de la Magie features a renewed lineup of top-level artists, winners of major international magic competitions. Large screens installed on either side of the stage allow spectators to follow every detail of the manipulations. The show is designed to amaze all generations, with acts suitable for every audience, although children under 4 years old are not recommended due to the show's duration and sound volume.
