Hugo Marceau · France, Switzerland and worldwide
Thoughts read, decisions predicted, and an artificial intelligence that performs live on stage. In English and in French, for the evenings a company does not want to be ordinary.
"Professional, friendly and astonishing: he surprised the guests and kept them involved all evening, the levitation above all. Nothing but good feedback, and it contributed to the success of the event."

What you can book
A keynote for the plenary, a show for the dinner, close-up for the hour in between. Each one stands on its own, and a single performer can carry a whole day.
Forty-five to sixty minutes for leadership teams, conventions and tech audiences. An artificial intelligence shares the stage: it predicts, sees and reasons in front of the room while a mentalist explains what is happening to our perception. Written around your industry and your vocabulary.
The AI keynoteThirty to sixty minutes of mentalism for a gala dinner, an awards evening or the closing night of a seminar. Guests become the performers: their choices, their memories and their phones drive the show. Nobody is embarrassed, and the chief executive is never the target unless you ask.
The stage showStrolling performance during a drinks reception or between courses, in small groups, in English and French. Classic sleight of hand, or the iPad act in which the screen and the real world stop obeying the rules. The format that makes a networking hour work.
Close-up for corporate events
The performer
A French magician and mentalist since 2010, based in Lyon, who added to his act a partner no other discipline had: an artificial intelligence he codes himself and performs with live. He works in English and French for corporate events, gala dinners and private celebrations, in France, Switzerland and abroad whenever the invitation calls for it.
A magician creates visual impossibilities. A mentalist works on the mind: a decision predicted before it is made, a word read that a guest has only thought of. Magic makes a room laugh and applaud; mentalism makes it go quiet, then argue about it at the bar. Hugo Marceau does both, and the AI is the third layer.
Based in France, performing worldwide
Cannes during the congress season, Monaco for gala dinners and yacht events, Nice, Saint-Tropez and the villas of Cap-Ferrat. One hour from Lyon by air.
Swiss companies, banks and international organisations around Lake Geneva, in Lausanne and Montreux, and in the mountain resorts in season. Under two hours by road, no flight to book.
Paris for conventions, product launches and the evenings that follow them. Lyon is home: the second business city in France, two hours from the capital by train.
International engagements are organised by Hugo's team: flights, equipment, technical rider and local timing. The act travels light; the AI set-up fits in cabin luggage.
Why event teams book him
"Hugo performed at a corporate event with close to two hundred people. Everyone was amazed."

Questions event teams ask first
Yes. Every format, the keynote, the stage show and the close-up, is performed in English or French, and bilingual rooms are handled without losing anyone. International audiences in Geneva, Paris and on the French Riviera are a regular part of the calendar.
Lyon, France: under two hours from Geneva by road, one hour from Nice and Paris by air. Hugo Marceau performs across France and Switzerland every week and travels internationally on request. Travel is organised by his team and included in the proposal.
Fees are quoted on request. They depend on the format, the duration, the size of the audience, the venue and the travel involved, which is why there is no price list. Send the details of your event and you will receive a tailored proposal within one business day.
Four to eight weeks allows a fully tailored act. Shorter notice works whenever the date is free; December, January and the main congress weeks in Cannes, Geneva and Davos fill first.
Yes. The AI on stage runs live: language models for the dialogue, computer vision for the visual demonstrations, and a custom agent that orchestrates them. Nothing is pre-recorded, which is why the audience reacts the way it does.
Often requested, and it works well: the AI keynote during the seminar, close-up or the stage show at dinner. One performer to coordinate, one universe for the whole day.
