his work came at the end of his performance when he received a standing ovation.
In magic magazines we always read the advertisements but never really know much about the person behind the business we are buying products from. In this new series of articles I will be running a story about the advertisers who support VANISH MAGAZINE. This first person to kick off this series is Felix fromMagicLatex.com
For over 18 years, Felix the Magician has been fascinating and entertaining audiences of different ages and nationalities.
Former gym class teacher, magician, clown, lecturer and curious by nature Felix was born in Argentina and is now based in Spain where he has performed at the most
prestigious locations, halls, auditoriums and theatres. He is a
specialist in magic for children, grand illusions and stage magic, including both styles of spoken and musical shows. Currently, and for eight years now (over 900 shows presented in hotels) he surprises the most demanding European public with his international 50 minute show filled with musical magic. He presents his show in the most prestigious hotels in Mallorca (Spain) during the summer season, the favorite vacation place for the upper social classes in Europe.
Each year he is hired to perform at private

parties for politicians, actors, singers, athletes and businessmen who rely on his experience and professional responsibility. From the tennis player Boris Becker to the owners of multinational companies such as the airline “Air Europe”,
“Lidl” (supermarket chain largest in Europe) and hotel chain “Sol Meliá”
(the world’s largest operator of holiday resorts).
Five years ago, along with his partner Claudio Casagrande, Felix created Magiclatex, which today is the largest store specializing in latex products for magicians. Thousands of artists from around the world and many of them internationally renowned use their products and routines in their shows.
Felix creates effects in which he combines the properties of the latex with powerful neodymium magnets. The study of magnets and his great curiosity led him to modify and refine classical techniques and systems in order to create new effects. From this the new, varied and dynamic lecture was created:
“Magnets in stage magic and close - up”, where as a bonus, he shows and
explains his most impressive routines made with his own latex creations.
This lecture was presented at the New Zealand Magic Convention last year to huge success.
This is a new and very interesting lecture with new concepts and principles. It is a lecture for Stage , Parlour and Close- up magic.
Different effects, ideas and routines, for appearances of doves, coins, silks, sponge balls, etc. He also shows card effects and routines with poker chips. A lecture for all ages and very easy to understand. Classic and modern effects, updated with new techniques and systems. He uses all kind of magnets and teaches the potential of this material. A very commercial lecture which is 100%
useful.
Felix continues to keep working hard in Magiclatex, in the same honest and responsible manner so far, always with the sight in the future and providing the best quality and service to fellow magician colleagues.
Even though many of their products, routines and ideas have already been copied by other less honest entrepreneurs, they have lots of energy and power of will to continue and improve what they already have.
Magiclatex is a Company created
by two friends, who know who they are and with the common goal of making their own path without harming anybody. They want to put a drop of good water in the magic community.
Felix’s business partner, Claudio C., has dedicated the last 20 years to developing latex products, and he has over 50 customized models in his resume. He is a true pioneer in many models, such as the legged latex dove. This mold was made by his own hands in 2002. They have many new products in the manufacturing process!
As an artist Felix wants to keep working on different magic shows in Mallorca, but with his mind set on enjoying his work, what he does.
Felix says, “I´m happy if people are happy with my magic. Being able to think, create, and build my own routines, is a lifestyle that suits me very well. I really enjoy it. I´m always grateful for making a living from what I love the most. I´m a 24/7 magician, and I love it! I want to start doing charity magic for several NGOs and my next goal is to surprise and make laugh kids in Africa. A life goal that I´m determined to achieve, but my schedule always stood in the middle. I hope that in the near future I will make it real.
I will keep on going perfecting my magnets conference, in order to bring new and useful ideas to the magicians around the world.
The main goal of this conference is to open doors towards new concepts, and giving freedom to the attending magicians to develop them by themselves.
Not only to teach effects, but teasing the creativity.
But, my main objective and real project is…. to be HAPPY.”
