About this event
Now in its 14th edition, Lisboa Magica scatters 175 free street-magic performances across thirteen of the city's squares and gardens over six days. Fifteen artists from ten countries perform close-up and stage magic in the open air under the artistic direction of Luis de Matos. Shows run from late morning into the evening, so wandering the centre almost guarantees you walk into one.
