ALEXANDRA DUVIVIER: Parisian Prestidigitator

from Creativity in Captivity · host Sweetwood Creative

A finger-flicking French magician who is the winner of the Mandrake d’Or in France and the first French female magician to fool Penn and Teller in their famous American television show Fool Us. The daughter of Dominique Duvivier, a living legend in magic, she faced a double challenge: to make a name for herself under the shadow of her illustrious father and to become a highly respected artist in the predominantly masculine world of magic. Her father didn’t push her to become a magician like himself. As a child he never showed her any tricks: it was only at the age of 15 that Alexandra decided to become, little by little, the worthy heiress of her father’s empire. She has become a favorite artist of the biggest brands for their private events: Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and  L’Oréal. She has served as a hand double for some of the most famous names in the cinema.  Alexandra has eight shows to her credit: three solo stage shows, three shows performed as a double act with her father, a children’s show and a show performed entirely in English. With her sharp humor, her pure and engaging magic, her natural empathy with both young and old, she charms and amuses her delighted audiences.  She is the founder of a French Conjuring school and an instructor for the first ever diploma in magic recognized by the Ministry of Labor in France. In 2021, she and her father created the streaming channel www.doublefond.tv  to learn magic with the greatest masters.
