Philippe Beau
Philippe Beau is a shadow magician, one of the few professional artists specializing in the rare and poetic discipline of creating shadow plays using only his hands. This ancestral art is called ombromania.
His various shows can be compared to choreographed hand ballets, where the shadows of characters and animals follow one another fluidly, in a unique morphing process, without special effects other than the virtuosity of the intertwining fingers.
All the capabilities of his hands are used to the extreme to create ephemeral shadows of an originality and beauty deemed unique in the world.
Shadow performer and artistic advisor, he is an internationally recognized specialist in shadow mania. He has presented his shows in more than thirty countries.
He also imagined and created new artistic forms around shadows for all worlds relating to spectacle.
For major international events and prestigious luxury houses, in Paris (Cartier, Chaumet), in Dubai (Hermès), in Quebec (FISM/world magic congress). Famous performance venues and international companies have welcomed him on their stages, such as the legendary Parisian cabaret Crazy Horse, the Cirque du Soleil (He imagined and created custom shadow plays in the shows Kà de Las Vegas and Fuzion of Jeddah), the Friedrichstadt-Palast, historic cabaret of Berlin where he designed paintings for the magazine « Arise Grand Show_11100000-00 00-0000-0000-000000000111_» , but also the Louvre auditorium, in duets with renowned classical instrumentalists, or the Olympia, in the first part of the one-man show of the famous French actor and comedian François Morel.
In addition to creating his own shows, Philippe Beau regularly collaborates with opera and theater directors, such as Robert Lepage or Peter Brook, but also choreographers, notably Philippe Decouflé. He has also worked with filmmakers such as Frederic Wiseman or Alain Chabat, and musicians such as Chilly Gonzales or the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra.

Alex Boyer
Alex Boyer is a world-renowned Quebec artist, fully bilingual, who began his career in the Outaouais region. He has appeared on shows such as The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Penn & Teller Fool Us, The CW Network, TRVL Channel, TruTV, and currently holds a Guinness World Record! You've probably seen him in his own show on Netflix called 'BIG TRICK ENERGY'. His videos have garnered over 100 million views on YouTube and Instagram. Be captivated by its combination of magic, chaos and comedy. Expect to say...but OMG!! How does he have such beautiful hair?
Alexandra Duvivier
A very rare female representative of the magical art, Alexandra Duvivier was the winner of the
Mandrake d’Or in France and the first French woman to bluff Penn & Teller in their
famous American television show “Fool Us”.
Daughter of Dominique Duvivier, living legend of magic, she took on a double challenge: to make a first name after her illustrious father and to become a highly respected artist in the
particularly masculine world of magic. Unlike many children of the ball, she was never pushed by her father to follow the same path as him. He never showed her any tricks when she was a child: it was only at the age of 15 that Alexandra set out to become, little by little, the worthy heir to her father's empire.
Having become a favorite artist of the biggest brands for their private events (Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, L'Oréal, etc.), understudy of famous hands in the cinema, she has no less than eight shows to her credit: three shows alone on stage, three others in duet with his father, a show for children and a last one performed entirely in English. With her humor so striking, her magic both so pure and so generous, her natural empathy with young and old, she attracts an ever-increasing audience.
Beyond her talents as an artist, Alexandra Duvivier is also a trainer and
corporate speaker (innovative communication methods using magic)
and trainer as part of the first Bac+2 Magician diploma recognized by the Ministry
of Labor in France.
In 2021, she created the streaming channel www.doublefond.tv with her father for
learn magic with the greatest masters.

Luc Langevin
Spokesperson

From a young age, curiosity and the desire to understand pushed Luc Langevin to delve into the world of illusion. At the same time, Luc maintained a great passion for physical science. While he was completing a master's degree in optics and starting a doctorate in biophotonics, the production company Téléfiction discovered the young artist's potential during a casting and offered him his first TV series. This is how, in May 2009, "Comme par magie" was broadcast for the first time on ARTV, allowing Luc to combine his talent as an illusionist and his scientific background to present more than 400 illusions to strangers he met on the street or in public places. Luc's career was launched!
In 2010, Radio-Canada and ARTV presented the first in a series of "Spéciale artistes" shows, in which Luc created custom illusions for guest artists. This show reaches over a million viewers, with a 30% market share! One of these "Special Artists", "Aux limites de l'illusion 2", received the Prix Gémeaux for best variety or performing arts special in 2013. Other TV series concepts were added.
Encouraged by the success of his shows, Luc Langevin co-produced his first show, "Réellement sur scène", in August 2013, which was a popular success (in front of over 150,000 spectators) and was acclaimed by critics.
From February 10 to 28, 2016, the illusionist presented his show for the first time at the Casino de Paris, in France. The critics were unanimous: "LANGEVIN - Creator of illusions". In 2016 and 2017, this show was presented 30 times in Paris and 45 times in the rest of France and Switzerland.
Starting in February 2018, "Maintenant demain", Luc's second show, offers the public 12 new illusions that dazzle, make laugh and amaze the greatest number. In this very high-caliber show, we witness for the first time a number in which a member of the audience is teleported from one place to another on the stage before the eyes of the stunned spectators.
Luc Langevin's virtual show, "Interconnectés", was presented for the first time in front of an audience in December 2020. Throughout the performance, spectators experience unique, modern and innovative numbers where magic happens in their email inbox, in their hands... and even inside their home! With more than 100 performances in French in Quebec and Europe (France, Belgium and Switzerland), more than 50,000 spectators have attended.
Luc Langevin's third stage show, "Vérités", has been presented across Quebec since September 2022 and until very recently.
The numbers, each more fascinating than the last, lead spectators to question what they believe or not. What is truth? Where do we draw the line between the possible and the impossible?
Can we interact with the invisible? Can we travel in an instant from one place to another, whether in the theater itself or in another city? Can we make everything appear on stage, including the unthinkable, the excessive? The audience's certainties are certainly shaken!
Luc is preparing a new show, with renowned collaborators including his long-time accomplice Stéphane Bourgoin. It will be released in June 2025. It will be presented in Quebec, France, Belgium, Switzerland and elsewhere in the world for a few years!
At the same time, he will return with new projects on television here and elsewhere.
The career destiny and artistic direction have been entrusted to Josélito Michaud. The production of his shows are under the responsibility of LA TRIBU and LES 2 BELGES for the whole world.
Luc Langevin has today become the new reference as an illusionist, standing out for his charisma, his undeniable talent as a communicator as well as the creativity and precision of his magic.
Few illusionists around the world have been able to achieve this level of credibility and notoriety in such a short time.
