Luis de Matos - Biography

In 1999 Luis was nominated 'Magician of the Year' by the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood. In 2010 he was again honoured when fellow magicians around the world voted him 'Illusionist of the Decade'.

Luis is a household name in Portugal where he's hosted and produced over 150 highly successful and award winning television shows. UK audiences will see Luis in action on 'The Magicians' the new BBC One show which is putting magic back on Saturday night television for the first time in over 20 years.

Renowned for the grandest of illusions, Luis de Matos is the man who made an elephant disappear in under five seconds, and a Ferrari melt away whilst surrounded by members of the audience. He made a six ton Renault truck appear in front of an invited audience of executives (in the company's own building!) and when Disney launched the Disney Channel in Portugal it was Luis who magically produced Mickey Mouse in a spectacular illusion so he could switch on the TV channel for the very first time!

Alcatel, Alfa Romeo, BP, BMW, Ericsson, Ford, Gant, General Motors, HP, Microsoft, Nestlé, Nissan, Samsung, Shell, Siemens, Vodafone and many other major corporations have asked Luis de Matos to use magic to make their messages and events memorable.
