“At last, a project that will also give sanctuary to the Magicians-women and their procession of pretty Fairies, gentle Witches, amiable Pithy, superb Goddesses, great Priestesses, powerful Druidesses as well as humble Undines or beautiful Enchantresses”.

Caroline Marx

‘The project is crazy!
What a thrill to have our own French-style ‘Magic Castle’ right in the heart of Paris.”

“The creation of the Palais de la Magie in Paris and MACH 5 are the two wings that will propel the growth of the magical arts. A much-needed ‘Reborn’, the source of an unprecedented surge of creativity and preservation of our heritage.”

Christophe Mervil

“The idea of creating a grand venue in France dedicated to magic is a wonderful one. A venue as prestigious, if not more so, than the Magic Castle in the United States or the Magic Circle in England. A place that will give the public a high idea of magic as one of the most complete arts in existence.”

Jean Régil
Magic director

“The die has been cast and the martingale is clear: The Magic Palace will be a success ! “

“It took a visionary, as well as an entrepreneur, to take on such a project… Domi NHO is our man !
So yes, we’re with him, and I’m the first to take part and help win this magnificent challenge !

Of course, it’s a bit crazy, but as Mark Twain said:

They didn’t know it was impossible, so they did it….”

The magic is so beautiful, its setting will be magnificent!”

“In life, there are the immobile and the nomadic, those who want to go further. Domi NHO, who belongs to the latter category, has launched a number of initiatives to give French magic a heritage equivalent to that of the English or the Spanish: in other words, a venue, acquired through sponsorship, that would bring together a theatre, meeting rooms and exhibition halls – in short, a place where those who love magic can ‘live well’ ! What a great idea !
I wish him the best of luck !”

Jean Merlin

“We are proud that this project, which we are supporting, is led by a Belgian magician, Domi NHO!
Belgium will be that much closer to Paris!
Long live MACH 5!”

Marco Candela

“When Domi NHO told me about MACH 5, I was immediately hooked.
All French magicians dream of having a place entirely devoted to the Magical Arts.
I dare to hope that our community will be so enthusiastic that France will finally have this marvellous venue !
Transforming dreams into reality is the very essence of our Art, so let’s unite to make this fabulous project a success !”

“Magic is like cooking ! It’s high art.
As with Michelin-starred restaurants, atmosphere, décor and secrets are essential.
Chefs have been enchanting palates since the dawn of time… It’s only right that magic should finally have its own palace !
And I can guarantee you that a thousand stars will meet there ! “

Adrien Quillien

“Domi NHO’s crazy project is already underway.
While it has a number of valuable assets :
– artistic credibility
– the know-how of an entrepreneur
– the networks that are essential for raising finance,
he also needs our help.
We’ve all dreamt of this Palais de la Magie, with a real theatre, halls, a museum, shows, a school and so on. He’s going to do it !
We’re going to do it!
So let’s go crazy with him, let’s join in and let’s go for it !”

“MACH 5, or how to propel magic into the firmament at supersonic speed…

What an opportunity to be part of the birth of such an exciting project, worthy of our love of the art of magic…
Well done and thank you Domi NHO !

The Palais de la Magie is undoubtedly the ideal setting to meet the public and our colleagues. Just imagine ! A place in the heart of Paris housing a theatre, a research centre and a library ?
France can be proud !

Long live MACH 5 and the Palais de la Magie !”

“What a great idea !
A place for the magical arts in Paris.
A large-scale centre with everything you need !
Only Domi NHO could have pulled it off: he’s a fantastic magician, a shrewd businessman and, above all, he’s kept his childlike soul and a lot of energy.
He’s a bit crazy, but that’s part of his charm.
Of course he’ll need help for this exciting adventure. But because he’s such a unifier, there’s no doubt that he’ll bring his project to a successful conclusion.
In any case, I’m in, and with great pleasure.

Long live the adventure !”
