INTERVIEW

Tuesday is the night of the big premieres for Gulli.

The children's TV channel is launching the first live premium in its history, with the show by comedian and magician Eric Antoine

Connexions. 

A show created last December to be played remotely.

It has been featured on Zoom several times before, but not yet on TV.

And live on TV is a risky bet for a magician, as Eric Antoine explains at

Replenish toilet paper

"Magic is a bit of juggling. Except in juggling, when you drop balls, everyone wants you to try again. In magic, when you miss something, everyone has seen how it worked ... so it's a shame on your life and your job, "he compares. "It's a very significant risk that I only took once in my life, 10 years ago. But I have already performed this show about 60 times on Zoom."

Small difficulty: keep the interactive side of the show, while Eric Antoine will not see the spectators behind their television, but only those who will be on Zoom.

The magician has all the same planned several experiences that viewers can follow.

He will learn in particular how to tear and reconstitute toilet paper, a nod to the rays robbed during the first confinement.

A world first

Eric Antoine is also planning a new number, created especially for Gulli. A world first, according to him. “Normally, magicians always have predictions on their side of the screen, or their side of the stage. It is never the spectator who opens the safe or the envelope with the prediction. Never,” he explains. -he. "This time, we're going to mail the prediction to a spectator, he's going to open it on his side of the screen. A lot of my fellow magicians will hallucinate about that idea."

The

Connexions 

show

by Eric Antoine can be seen Tuesday evening at 9:05 p.m. on Gulli, TNT channel 18. It is also to be followed also via Zoom, where the show is paying this time: 25 euros per connection, regardless of the number of people on your sofa.
