This show belongs to the FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 season. This season is now over.

A stressed office worker sits at a cluttered desk, leaning back with his hands clasped behind his head. He wears glasses, a white shirt with rolled sleeves, a loosened black tie, and looks upward under a bright desk lamp. Papers, pens, tape, a phone, and a drink are scattered across the desk, conveying frustration or exhaustion.

Unplugged Magic

He's an office worker by day, magician by night... For years, Pierre Ulric has pushed the boundaries of imagination, working 9 to sleight.

As seen on Penn & Teller: Fool Us in 2020, as a finalist at the 2025 FISM World Championship of Magic ('Street Magic Category') in Italy, and as heard at TEDx KingsParkSalon in 2023.

Now, and is back to offer you a second serving of the Unplugged Magic you loved last year — a personal, funny, and captivating interactive show that uncovers the magic hidden in everyday life.

Prepare to be amazed by mind-bending sleight-of-hand, psychological mysteries, and impossible feats that will challenge your perception of reality. In this up-close performance, you'll witness magic as you've never seen before — raw, real, and right before your eyes.
