His shows, filled with humour, tricks, and audience interaction, delight spectators of all ages.

Guilhem Julia
French magician Guilhem Julia discovered his passion for magic at the age of eight, after visiting an international magic festival. He first learned from books and a circle of friends before developing his own style, focused on close-up magic. Mentors Hugues Protat and Raphaël Navarro played key roles in his development. One of his signature acts features live goldfish, while in 2006 he took third place in Parlour Magic at the FISM World Championships. In 2018, his Newspaper Act won him the French national title in stage magic – a performance he will also present at this year’s Gala Magic Show. Today, he blends magic with storytelling and other artistic forms, seeing it as an art that must evolve with cultural and technological change.
