Stéphane Bourgoin: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 

 

 

Stéphane has been a driving force in the Montreal magic community for years. 

He has been creating relentlessly and consulting on some of the biggest projects out there — from collaborations with Cirque du Soleil to theatre productions and television.

Just this year, he created the magic for Luc Langevin’s new stage show and consulted on the theatre adaptations of Dracula and Peter Pan, just to name a few of his projects. 

Always generous with his time and advice, he continues to be a vital part of our community.
