In 1985 Alex was so captivated by an old mirror tent in Belgium that he began collecting them. Four years later he established Magic Mirrors and became the first to promote mirror tents around the globe.
Demand grew and new markets showed interest.
Magic Mirrors, as the pioneer, building new tents to meet this demand…
“Mirror tents with a soul” respecting the inherited tradition.
Alex and his extraordinary team have had the opportunity to meet fascinating people on their journey and to live unique experiences in the cultural and artistic fields.
The moving theatre created and rented by Magic Mirrors are unique and the warm feeling created emanates from the natural materials (colored glass, wood, …) making these theatres timeless. This magic feeling has been experienced by millions of visitors and well-known professionals from all over the world during multiple events.
Magic Mirrors, the first mirror tent business of modern times…
Ballroom of broken hearts. . .
Rome by night, musette de Paris, tango from Buenos Aires.
It sounds as nice as a Mortier organ in a Flemish Spiegeltent.
See a ray of sunlight piercing through the multicolored stained glass windows and being reflected a thousand fold by the many faceted mirrors.
Sentiment of the 1st order a dream comes true .....
The first in a whole new generation of mirror tents – using lighter materials for the construction, to achieve a larger capacity, with astonishing wind resistance, that results in a better mobility. The massive interiors and traditional materials, magically transform settings with an indescribable, everlasting atmosphere . .
Where did the Monegasque Prince Rainier polish a cabaret artist's nose? Who was spontaneously invited by Sting to the closing tour party in Tuscany? Where were Diana Ross and Peter Ustinov "private" guests?
A heady adventure for all the senses, that unfold a magic that sweeps the audience away and takes them into a fascinating world full of emotions: variety and circus, musical and comedy - poetic images and sensual music, the finest cuisine and bizarre slapstick scenes ..."a children's birthday party for adults"!
Twenty years of discoveries. Twenty years of unforgettable encounters.
Twenty years of creations. Twenty years of taking risks, daring, joys, incredible parties.
A whole memory at the crossroads of music, circus, theatre, storytelling, performance.
This unique cabaret where the voices and imaginations of the planet interacted.
Felicitations Méziane, for your achievement, turning this Magic Mirrors (26m first concept) into home-coming for so many people, it’s here where our dreams came together.
The idea of bringing people together in all their diversity seduced the Mayor and his council.
Ten years later this unique Magic Mirrors, both in its characteristics and in the wealth of events, hosting; concerts, festivals, balls, readings, charitable events, from the youngest to the elderly, a warm shelter that immerses them in a cosy universe, all year long, has become a reference in the field. Finding its permanent place, which is an unmissable city landmark.
Many thanks Le Havre and roll on the next decade.

Having been closed for 27 years, the former Estación del Norte has been transformed into a large culture and entertainment complex, called La Estación.
Prior to its inauguration in the old building, the space was housed in a gigantic “Jugendstill” hall of mirrors tent (29m diameter) outside the station, known as Magic Mirrors carpa clandestino, inspired by Belgian dance halls pre-World War II, which hosted the cultural program from 2016 until the summer of 2019.

The perfect “TV Special” recording place for Helmut ‘s “Soul Classics”
The world’s first "SOUNDPROOF" Magic Mirrors (35m ∅ 1.000 m2) with its round dance-floor, all its mirrors, crystal and chrome.
