Beach Humour Festival – 18th Feb

Éric Antoine

Eric Antoine rose to prominence through his participation in the inaugural season of “La France a un incroyable talent,” which aired in 2006 on M6. Since then, he has become a familiar face on television, captivating audiences with his appearances on various shows such as “Les traîtres” and “Qui peut nous battre?” on M6, showcasing his versatile talents and captivating personality. From 2009 to 2011, he toured France with his show “Réalité ou Illusion?”

Following this, he presented performances in 2011 at Petit Montparnasse in Paris for his show “Mysteric” and in 2012 at the Casino de Paris. His fourth production is titled “Magic Delirium.”

In his performances, he is accompanied by an assistant dressed in black who firmly believes he is invisible, a character named Bernard Black played by his wife. In “Magic Delirium,” she takes on the roles of both Bernard Black and a feminist magician’s assistant named Lindsay Sinclair.

Éric Antoine has also been involved in various TV programs such as “Rire contre le racisme” and “Vivement Dimanche,” where he has served as a commentator since 2010. In 2015, he became a member of the judging panel for the TV show “La France a un incroyable talent,” broadcast on M6.

Standing at a height of 2.07 meters, he humorously describes himself as “2 m + 7 cm of capillary erection” and playfully asserts that he is the “world’s greatest magician, in terms of size, not talent.” This “capillary erection” is a lighthearted routine performed before each show.
