With this new creation, Thierry Collet blends in life stories and magic tricks in order to summon the interior world of a magician. Audiences are invited to take part in a very special encounter, one that tells of his initial passion and the way it became a profession. Thierry looks back on the major experiences that marked his journey; the obsession for skilled body movement and gestures based on personal challenge, the taste for both secrets and lies, and the need to conceive a mystery for his audiences. To be an illusionist is a profession, but first and foremost it is a state of being.
