Magicians have the mission to surprise us with their great spectacular illusions, this is the case of the well-known Magicien de Paris.
During the day, he performs exceptional tricks, but when he returns to his creative studio, he practices much more experimental magic...
His latest creation is rather disturbing as it turns out to be powerful. If no one tries to steal it from him, he could cause a lot of damage.
You will have to be as creative as him to succeed in lifting the veil on this too well-kept secret.

A tale of 2 halves. I believe the magician start is the strongest. I liked the puzzle interactions and one of reveals that you get involved in. The second half, the funhouse, had fun elements but was limited in its scares. I think being in Athens this year, made this feel very tame. One of our party was still very scared however. 

Loved the actor sequences. Definitely at its strongest and very comparable for English speakers.

Maybe our favourite room out of the 3 we played at Deep Inside. The effects, soundtrack, acting and storyline were all spot on. This room has a good level of puzzles and feels like an hybrid experience/puzzles room. 

We absolutely loved our visit here and felt like our lives have been slightly altered by the experience. 😂

We played the combined version of this game which links the Magician and the Fun house into one overarching storyline. The Magician was the less scary half. I enjoyed the room and there were a couple of standout elements, particularly the ending.

Wonderful, some incredible elements to this game, from the location to the puzzles. Hosts were great, keeping you fully immersed from the first minute. Played alongside the follow on room 'the funhouse' for the full experience

Deep Inside allows you to book both of their Magician and Fun House rooms in a combined experience thanks to a very smart storyline link between the two rooms, making the transition very smooth! 

Reviews by escape room review sites

If you follow the TERPECA rankings (and you should), then you’re more likely to have come across Magician of Paris as one half of ‘The Full Experience’; Deep Inside offer it in combination with their second game as a double-bill. We chose to play just Magician because our group didn’t fancy the horror theme of the second game, and I’d heard that the connections between the two games are actually a bit tenuous.
What links them is the “City of Martyrs” setting, a fictional subterranean city benea...

It’s great that in Paris many good quality games are available for those not familiar with the language of Molière and Victor Hugo.

One of the companies that travelling enthusiasts cannot miss is Deep Inside. At the moment the company counts with two games, which can be played back to back as one experience, which is what we did.

One common aspect of both games is the inmersive start and presentation towards the outside, which is really comparable to analogous top experiences in other places. This aspect, which is unluckily sometimes neglected in escape rooms, is done perfectly here, music, light, intro video, all aspects that get you really into the mood for playing the game even before the start.

The Full Experience is a varied, clever, engaging and yes, immersive, adventure that truly takes you on a journey. The Taxidermist may have been what prompted the trip to Paris, but The Full Experience was the highlight of the trip for me.
