The Studio
A Working Space in Downtown Porto where Illusions are Created & Secrets are Kept
Founded by World Champion Magician Helder Guimarães, recognized internationally for his close-up magic and theatrical storytelling, the studio is devoted to research, writing, and the quiet development of new work in this field of performing arts.
Here, ideas evolve slowly.
Some nights, the doors open.
Founder’s Note
“I never imagined what Time for Magic became. What I needed was a place to think.
For many years, Magic has been my way of asking questions: about us, about humans, about our limits, and about the stories we tell ourselves to understand the world. Most of that work happens quietly, away from the stage, surrounded by books, notes, unfinished ideas, and long moments of doubt.”
