Although I pursued my financial studies in Boston in the U.S.A., I decided to leave the world of business for the world of entertainment.

Not that was much of a surprise since I was born in a circus.

My parents were working at Circus Bouglione at the time and my subsequent childhood was spent in various circuses including Knie, Cirque du Soleil, Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey, etc...

Once my studies were done, I took a position at Feld Entertainment as "Performance Director" on their new show and production of "Barnum's Kaleidoscape."

Returning to Monaco I became the assistant general manager of a company called Marsu Productions. For four years I managed the rights of the famous comics characters created by Franquin: Marsupilami and Gaston Lagaffe.

After that it was a normal and logical step for me to return to the world of entertainment and live my passion fully.

The Monte-Carlo Magic Festival

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:20:00 +0200

The Monte-Carlo Magic Festival has been created more than 20 years ago by Prince Rainier in Monte-Carlo.
He wanted the magic festival to be as prestigious as the world renowned circus festival that he had created in 1974.

The festival happens every year in October. It is composed in 2 different parts. In the first part, you have only 5 "new" or "young upcoming" magicians that take part in the competition to win the gold magic wand.
In the second part, you have 5 renown magicians presenting their acts and do not take part in the competition.

There is a jury often composed of show business celebrities with at least 2 people from the magic society.

This festival is prestigious because it happens in Monaco and magicians regularly attend cocktails in different places and are welcomed as "stars".
Nevertheless, there is a very good and friendly atmosphere!

Please do not hesitate to suggest us any magicians!
