For our shows, he creates wonderful props and enchanting sets that transport the audience to another world. His videos for The Magical Life bring stories to life with a spark of wonder.
At parties and events, Jean-Pierre transforms into various characters, such as the dignified Footman J.P. Perfectus or an adventurous pirate who seems to have stepped straight out of an exciting tale. His performances bring a smile to every face, young and old.
With his background as a guest teacher in primary education, he knows exactly what captures children’s attention, inspires them, and makes them dream.
"Magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen."
