Magic in Paris
 
I am told there is a great magic show on a boat in the Seine. Anybody seen it or have any contact info. Can't find it on a google search or through magic sites. Other Paris magic treats?<BR>Thanks

On the more quaint side, we visited the Mus&eacute;e de Magie on rue St Paul last month. It houses a few rooms of magic 'antiques' and implements of illusion. They give a small magic show maybe 1-2 times an hour - when we were there, it was a children's birthday party. Everything is in French, but you can understand most all of it, and the tricks the magician performs are all visual anyway. It is quite charming and won't take a lot of your time. They have a website: http://www.museedelamagie.com/<BR>It's only open Wed/Sat/Sun.. the website tells the details...

There's a little place that has magic shows. It's all in French but magic is magic. They also have a little exhibit hall to look around. Musee de la Curiosite et de la Magie. 11, rue St Paul Wed, Sat, <BR>Sun 2-7 For more Paris information go to www.anamericaninparis.com

Yes, what Fred said is the same place we went...

Is this the same metamorphosis that used to perform on the steps of Sacre Couer? If it is, the performance is absolutely magnificent. We've seen in several times over the years.
