What Types of Events Does Pilou Magicien Perform For?

Pilou Magicien de l'extrême is a professional magician based in Haute-Savoie who performs at both private and corporate events, as well as on national and international stages. According to the site, his performances cover children's and adult birthdays, weddings, private parties, company evenings, religious celebrations, Christmas trees, restaurants, and campsites — alongside cabaret, gala, festival, and TV appearances. If you are deciding whether to book him, the key question is which format fits your event: a short visual number inserted into a larger program, or a full show.

Private Events

The site lists the following private occasions among his regular bookings:

• Children's birthdays
• Adult birthdays
• Weddings
• Private parties
• Religious celebrations
• Christmas trees (Arbres de Noel)
• Restaurants
• Campings

One documented example: a YouTuber who runs a channel teaching French to Brazilians filmed a video while Pilou animated a children's birthday party. That gives a concrete sense of how a private booking can look in practice — close-up, interactive magic in a casual setting rather than a stage production.

Corporate and Professional Events

Pilou also performs for:

• Company evenings (Soirées d'entreprises)
• Seminars
• Conventions
• Trade shows and salons
• Congresses

His biography notes regular appearances on national and international stages, which supports positioning him for corporate audiences that expect a polished, professional act.

Stage, Cabaret, and Festival Formats

Beyond private and corporate bookings, Pilou performs visual numbers designed to slot into a larger lineup:

• Cabaret
• Gala
• Magic or circus festivals
• TV shows
• Dinners — for example, between the serving of each course

These visual numbers are built around high technical difficulty, precise gestures, aesthetics, emotion, and staging. Because of that demand, each number is short: generally 6 to 12 minutes. The site describes them as dense, effect-rich pieces that capture and carry the audience for the length of the number.

Example: GAVROCHE (7 min)

The site names "GAVROCHE" as one number, described as "Pilou, un Gavroche magicien, attendriss..." (a magician Gavroche character). At 7 minutes, it fits the typical 6–12 minute range and illustrates the short-format model: a self-contained piece that can punctuate a dinner or join a multi-artist bill.

Which Format Fits Your Event?

Practical Notes Before You Decide

• The site states "Prix attractifs" (attractive prices) but publishes no rates, packages, or booking terms. You will need to contact Pilou directly for a quote.
• No pricing or payment details appear on the page, so do not assume a rate structure from the site alone.
• Base region: Haute-Savoie, with the description also naming Geneva, Lausanne, and Montreux — useful if your event is in that cross-border area.
• Format matters for planning: if you want a full evening of magic, a 6–12 minute visual number is not that. If you want a highlight within a dinner or a multi-act bill, it is.

The most reliable next step is to describe your event type, date, audience size, and whether you want close-up, a full show, or a short visual number, then ask for availability and a quote.
