Born in France, Norbert Ferré decided to pursue a career in magic after his university studies. He became known in the world of magic after obtaining the Grand Prix at The Hague in 2003 at the World Magic Championship. (www.fism.org)

In addition to his artistic activities, Norbert is involved in charity. Since 2010, he has been the National President of Magev (www.magev.fr), a charity that aims to improve the daily life of suffering children by offering them stage magic performances. To this day, more than 670 shows have been donated.

Testimonials

The 36th annual Academy of Magical Arts awards ceremony, Hollywood. Norbert Ferré’s act was, by far, the highlight of the evening. Ferré takes you through a number of emotions, presented with some expert manipulations with balls and cards that never get boring. His blend of comedy and serious magic meshes flawlessly. When was the last time you watched a manipulation act and longed for more? You do while watching Ferré. He is a true artist and the audience let him know by giving him the evening’s first standing ovation.

Magic Magazine

In order to appreciate the talent of the 2003 World Champion, Norbert Ferré’s act has to be experienced live. Over and above his incredible technical ability, the remarkable thing is his stage presence. As an artist, he draws on the tradition of the clown (Grock being his inspiration) and his own talents as a performer. There are two sides to Norbert Ferré, the comedian and the international magician!

This double character is extraordinary. A ridiculous guy, a simpleton, who introduces the other, the great Norbert Ferré, a highly skilled manipulator (…) this is a number practiced to perfection and nothing is left to chance. On the stage, there is a table and Norbert, that’s all, no extras, just him and his talent. Even if his manipulation of the balls and cards is highly polished, that does not explain the impact of his act. For me, this is magic from the heart, magic overflowing with emotion and feeling, sincere magic, without artifice, which comes from sheer talent.
