The 31st of August will be the last day of Lisboa Mágica – Street Magic World Festival. This festival has been going since 2006 and promises good entertainment. Magicians from all over the world (Argentina, Germany, Spain, USA, Portugal,…) bring us their shows – from the traditional cards tricks and rabbits coming out of a hat to the most up-to-date illusions.
Around 170 shows will be held on streets. Baixa district will be the privilege area for the performers, but you can see them around any corner of Lisbon. You can see them from 10am at some of the most interesting áreas of the city – places like Rossio, Largo de Camões, Largo do Chiado, Largo 1º de Dezembro and Largo de São Domingos, Rua Augusta and Rua Garret and Praça da Figueira and Teatro São Luís.
