Esoteric - Éric Borner

On May 24, 2026, at L’Illiade in Illkirch-Graffenstaden, Éric Borner presents ESOTERIC, a magic show that blurs the boundaries between reality and illusion. With precise physicality and a strong sense of storytelling, he passes energy from one person to another, makes a table dance in mid-air, suggests a genuine levitation at center stage, and plays with our memories as if they belonged to the present. The performance moves between mentalism, sleight-of-hand and visual effects, staged to encourage intimacy and astonishment.

Discovered on M6’s Graines de star, a finalist on La France a un incroyable talent and a standout favorite on France 2’s Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde, Éric Borner brings more than twenty-five years of experience. His approach combines work on the body with mental mastery, serving a “magic of the real” that creates a distinct atmosphere: a table that rises, a figure that floats, thoughts that seem to move. ESOTERIC tightens that thread, offering a moment in which doubt, curiosity and the sensory prevail over explanation.
