Alexis Arts

Alexis Arts is an Italian illusionist, escapologist, actor, dancer, and creative director in the theatre world. His shows mix artistic illusionism with mentalism and other disciplines such as dance, transformation (quick-change), mime, theatre, Chinese shadow artistry, and martial arts. As such he could be defined not only as a magician, but as an all round entertainer trained in numerous fields. His passion is to combine these skills in order to create different atmospheres and characters that tell moving, unexpected stories - stories which make audiences question their perceptions of reality. As such Arts refers to himself as a "fantasist" - dedicated to building surreal spectacles and stories that both move and perplex the viewer. One of his most notable achievements to date, is that he has broken 7 Guinness World Records. These are for the fastest escape from a pair of handcuffs, fastest escape from a straitjacket, the Largest Card Illusion Reveal and the Largest Mentalist Mnemonics Book Test. Alexis won the award of the European Championship of Magic, FISM 2014 in the category of Big Stage Illusions with his Prison Break act. His latest achievement was the World Championship of Magic FISM 2015, in which the Prison Break act was awarded as the best in the category of Big Stage Illusions bringing the title to Italy again after 40 years.
