At the age of 15, he creates his first show, a combination of magic, mime and comedy. Thereafter, he wins several prizes for Magic (1st place at the Albano International Congress in Italy, Gold Star at the L’Eau d’Olle magic festival in France).
A truly complete performer, he is the recipient of several more international prizes for Magic rewarding his shows.
He achieves public recognition with his show L’Ombre Orchestre (The Shadow Orchestra) created in Avignon in 2006 and subsequently performed in Paris and worldwide more than 800 times.
