Guipavas Magic Festival

The Guipavas Magic Festival: The Excellence of Illusionism in Brittany

Since 2012, the Guipavas Magic Festival has established itself as one of the major magic events in Brittany. Driven by the passion and expertise of Philippe Bonnemann, artistic director since the first edition, this festival brings together the best magicians, illusionists, and mentalists from the French and international scene each year at the Salle Alizé in Guipavas.

Breathtaking Shows for the Whole Family

Each edition of the festival offers a two-hour show combining grand illusions, close-up magic, manipulation, mentalism, and humor. The invited artists are selected from the best in their field, often award-winners in major international magic competitions. Philippe Bonnemann hosts the show with his infectious humor, boundless energy, and innate sense of performance, turning each appearance into a festive moment.

An Accessible Event for Everyone

The festival stands out for its commitment to accessibility. With daytime and evening performances, family-friendly prices, and open seating that allows everyone to fully enjoy the show, the Guipavas Magic Festival welcomes children from age 3 and adults alike in an atmosphere of shared wonder. The Salle Alizé offers optimal comfort with a capacity that allows for appreciated proximity to the artists.

More Than a Decade of Magic

Since its creation in 2012 by Philippe Bonnemann and his partner Emmanuelle, the festival has continuously grown in quality and reputation. In 2026, the 13th edition continues this tradition of excellence with a renewed program featuring artists such as Pierre Spiry, master of magical burlesque, Nicolas Del Pozo, virtuoso of grand illusion, Peio Rivas, an internationally awarded young prodigy, and Nikola Pelletier, explorer of the mysteries of memory and intuition.
