Corporate magic entertainment

With my engineering background, I bring a unique and innovative approach to my performances. Accustomed to solving complex problems and working in demanding environments, I apply these skills to create custom magic tricks tailored to the specific needs of each company. This dual expertise, both technical and artistic, allows me to design magical effects that combine precision, creativity, and relevance, especially for technological sectors or innovative products.

Moreover, my understanding of corporate challenges—whether communication, branding, or product promotion—ensures that each performance aligns perfectly with your event’s objectives. I don’t just entertain; I help convey a strong and impactful message, fully aligned with your company’s identity.

Benefits of magic for a company:

From our first contact with Benoît, over the phone, we knew he would be perfect for the magic entertainment we were looking for for a family event. We were not disappointed. Beyond being very professional, having amazing tricks, and knowing how to address both adults and children, Benoît is very nice, warm, discreet, yet very present and available (he was with us throughout our party, while others only offer to come for 1 or 2 hours) to entertain everyone. Thank you, Benoît, for helping to make our party a moment that will remain etched in our memories for a long time.
