Understand in 2 minutes:
Magic, the art of wonder, reenchants the world. Its culture and heritage, as rich as they are little-known, are treasures that must be passed on to present and future generations.
MACH 5 is the association that runs the Palais de la Magie. The aim of the Palais de la Magie is to promote illusionism and prestidigitation through cultural, heritage, teaching and networking activities.
The Palais de la Magie is a meeting place for the general public and magicians.
Its cultural activities focus on the creation, innovation and dissemination of illusionist shows. To enable the general public to discover the very best in contemporary illusionism, the Palais will be welcoming leading contemporary artists to its theatre and performance spaces. The Palais will also offer artists optimum conditions for creating the illusions of tomorrow (workshop) and staging them (rehearsal/advice/coaching areas).
A museum, media library and library will promote the development of heritage activities through the research, study, conservation and transmission of works of art, objects, texts and techniques of illusionism. In this way, the general public will be able to discover the richness of this art form.
The Palais de la Magie is also a meeting place for magicians from all over the world, for professionals in the performing arts and for the general public, bringing these three worlds together in a variety of ways.
Le Palais de la Magie is supported in its work by the Magic association “Arts Culture Humanisme” 5 (MACH 5) and the endowment fund “Magic Foundation – Paris”, the first French structure to bring together patrons to promote illusionism.
To ensure that this ambitious project flourishes in the best possible conditions, we need your help:
