Magic in Lisbon

To keep things simple, I’ll repeat what is written on the Lisboa Mágica website.

The Lisbon International Street Magic Festival, launched in 2006, returns for its 13th edition as part of Lisboa Cultura’s “Festas na Rua” program, showcasing the best of street magic worldwide, celebrating the universality and timelessness of artistic language, in a truly surprising interaction with the public space.

Fifteen artists from 11 countries will present 175 shows across 12 venues throughout the city. The performances will take place at Alameda dos Oceanos, Arco da Rua Augusta, Jardim Avelar Brotero, Jardim da Estrela, Jardim Fernando Pessa, Jardim Museu Lisboa, Largo do Carmo, Largo do Chiado, Palácio Baldaya, Parque Bensaúde, Praça do Município, and Praça Luís de Camões.

I decided to watch and document the performances at Largo Do Carmo, on August 21. The performances will last till Sunday 24. For the full program, visit the Lisboa Mágica website.
