MS No. 3 - Fantastique

The success of the first two salon productions inspired the magical trio to create a third evening. In the meantime, so many new acts have been developed that they simply needed a platform. Isn't that "fantastique"?!

Be amazed by incredible illusions - up close, vivid and fantastic!

---

Unlike the unique table-theatre shows, this show format has no round table. Instead, an intimate and stylish salon theatre with tiered seating. Still, 65 guests (maximum 82) experience the familiar closeness! A reminder of the golden age of salon magic. Entertaining. Engaging. Astonishing.

Experience the Close Up Night artists from a completely different perspective. The performances are larger in scale than the table-theatre shows and therefore perfectly visible from every seat. Unusual presentations that you rarely experience so intimately.

The founder of such evenings was French illusionist and automaton constructor Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin (1805 - 1871). In the mid-19th century, he opened the Théâtre Robert-Houdin in the old Palais Royal, where he delighted Parisian audiences with his Soirées Fantastiques featuring elegant tricks, optical illusions and mental magic. Rather than the costumes customary for street performers, Robert-Houdin confidently favoured contemporary clothing and created an elegant style that particularly appealed to intellectual audiences. Although Robert-Houdin worked as an illusionist for only eleven years, he shaped the appearance and style of illusionists for several generations.
