EnglishWhat Is Pilou Magicien de l'extrême?
Updated
Pilou Magicien de l'extrême is the official site of Pilou, a professional magician based in the Haute-Savoie region who also performs in Geneva, Lausanne, and Montreux. The site presents him as a World Champion of Magic who works both close-up and stage formats, and it is aimed at people looking to book a magician for private or corporate events — birthdays, weddings, private parties, company evenings, religious celebrations, Christmas trees, restaurants, and campsites. If you are evaluating him as a potential performer for an event in that region, the site is the primary source for his biography, awards, show formats, and booking contact.
Who Pilou is, according to the site
The biography page describes an early pull toward the artistic world — music, singing, juggling, clowning, theatre, and magic — with magic eventually taking over to the point that he decided to devote himself to it fully. He states he became a professional magician at 20 and now performs regularly on national and international stages as well as at all types of events.
He describes his style as spontaneous, dynamic, poetic, and generous magic, and notes he occasionally hosts conferences reserved for magicians.

What he performs
The shows section distinguishes between visual numbers and larger formats.
Visual numbers
These are short, music-accompanied pieces that the site says took years of preparation. They are designed to slot into a cabaret, gala, magic or circus festival, or TV show lineup alongside other artists, and can also punctuate a dinner — for example between courses. The site stresses that the technical demand, precision, aesthetics, emotion, and staging mean the performance can only be brief: generally 6 to 12 minutes.
One example given is Gavroche (7 min), described as "Pilou, a Gavroche magician, waiting..." — the excerpt cuts off there. Other named sections on the site include Le Bar and Numéro d'Oiseaux.
Close-up and stage
The site's navigation separates Close-up from Spectacles, indicating both formats are offered. Close-up is the walk-around, intimate style suited to mingling with guests; stage work covers the visual numbers and larger shows.
Site structure
The main navigation covers: Accueil (Home), Actualités (News), Pilou, Spectacles (Shows), Close-up, En images (Photos), and Contact. The biography and awards live under the Pilou section, while show descriptions sit under Spectacles.
Practical notes for a booking decision
- Region: Haute-Savoie, Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux — the site positions him in this cross-border area, so travel feasibility for your event depends on where you are.
- Event types explicitly listed: children's and adult birthdays, weddings, private parties, corporate evenings, religious celebrations, Christmas trees, restaurants, campsites.
- Pricing: the site mentions "prix attractifs" (attractive prices) but publishes no rates, packages, or booking/payment platforms. You will need to use the Contact page to get a quote.
- Language: the site content is in French, so correspondence is likely in French.
If you want to check availability or cost, the Contact page is the only route the site offers — there is no online booking or published price list to work from.
