Gleb

On our stage at:

FISM European Championship 2024

Gleb is the FISM 2022 World Champion of Originality in Close-Up Magic. His story begins in Minsk, Belarus, where he discovered magic at thirteen: a few months later he presented his first act, built on original tricks, and won his first award at the IFM 2017 contest in Saint Petersburg. Victories followed at Minsk Magic MIF 2017, IFM 2018, RAI 2019 and 2021 and the Club Magico Italiano 2021.

At fifteen, inspired by anime, video games and pop culture, he began bringing cosplay and storytelling to the stage, reinterpreting the worlds of J.K. Rowling and Nintendo before creating characters, stories and music of his own. His university studies in media led him to a transmedia approach: the result was "MAGEEK", presented at FISM 2022, an act combining illusion, on-stage screens, video trailers, anime-style illustrations and a storyline later turned into a book, which won the award for the most original close-up act. A member of the Magischer Zirkel von Deutschland, he now also creates new acts for other illusionists.

He was our guest at the FISM European Championship of Magic in Saint-Vincent in 2024.
