The artist
The life of objects.
Laurent Piron uses magic as a theatrical language. Working with Cie Alogique, the Belgian magician brings paper, cardboard boxes and familiar objects to life. Expressive movement and visual storytelling turn these simple materials into stage partners that can be playful, vulnerable or unpredictable.
With Paper Ball, created with Hugo Van de Plas, he won the FISM Stage Magic Grand Prix and the title of World Champion in General Magic in Québec in 2022.
In 2026, Boxes won him The One competition at the Blackpool Magic Convention. His stage repertoire also includes TIM (Time Inside Myself), a full-length production by the company that brings together contemporary magic, puppetry and object theatre.

Planning your eventActs, video & practical information
Where is Cie Alogique based?
Cie Alogique is based in Belgium and performs internationally.
Which awards has Laurent Piron won?
With Paper Ball, Laurent won the FISM Grand Prix for Stage Magic and the title of World Champion in General Magic at the World Championships in Québec in 2022.
With Boxes, he won The One competition at the Blackpool Magic Convention in 2026.
Which acts can we programme?
Paper Ball and Boxes are two eight-minute visual acts by Compagnie Alogique. In Paper Ball, a piece of paper becomes a living stage companion. In Boxes, cardboard boxes form an increasingly precarious tower in a playful encounter between magic, balance and gravity.
Can we watch a preview of Boxes?
Discover Boxes in this 54-second preview.
Can Paper Ball be performed by a woman?
Yes. Actress Nunzia also performs Paper Ball, the same Compagnie Alogique act performed by Laurent Piron. It can therefore be programmed with either Laurent or Nunzia.
Video available on request.
How long are the acts?
Paper Ball runs for 8 minutes, and Boxes also runs for 8 minutes. A combined version brings the two acts together into a single 15-minute performance.
Can Paper Ball and Boxes be performed in the same gala?
Yes. Both acts can be included in the same gala. We recommend presenting Paper Ball first, followed by Boxes a little later in the programme.
They can also be brought together into a single 15-minute performance.
Does Laurent also perform a full-length show?
TIM (Time Inside Myself) is a 55-minute production by Compagnie Alogique, performed by Laurent Piron and directed by Hugo Van de Plas, for audiences aged 6 and over.
Combining contemporary magic, puppetry and object theatre, it explores the fears and emotions of becoming a father. Objects come to life and familiar surroundings shift, turning an inner journey into a poetic stage experience.
