Does Lionel reveal his tricks?

No – and the reason is as simple as it is magical: magic thrives on the unique feeling of not understanding. If Lionel revealed his tricks, that feeling – and the magic – would be lost.

Lionel draws inspiration from everyday observations, theater, magic effects, world events, and interactions with the audience.

The actual trick and its technique form the foundation, but other elements are more important: true magic comes from dramaturgy, storytelling, comedy, entertainment, and especially audience interaction.

What exactly is the Fool Us Trophy?

The Fool Us Trophy is awarded to a magician who manages to fool the famous magicians Penn & Teller on the US TV show Penn & Teller: Fool Us. The award is one of the most prestigious international prizes for magicians and opens doors to performances in Las Vegas. Lionel is the only Swiss magician to have won it so far.
