What if, for one evening, anything were possible…
The Citadel of Besançon invites you to its first “Night of Illusion.”
13 artists, a 2-hour show featuring a succession of sleight-of-hand acts, grand illusions, poetic magic, and comedy.

This show, conceived by the collective Le Cercle magique comtois, will immerse the audience in the world of a magic cabaret, featuring a succession of sleight-of-hand acts, grand illusions, poetic magic, mentalism, and humor.
