Musée de la Magie et des Automates

In sixteenth-century vaulted cellars under the Marais, a thousand years of deception laid out as hardware: more than 100 automata, distorting mirrors, trick boxes and Robert-Houdin ephemera. Admission folds in a short live conjuring turn.

Restricted afternoon days; arrive at opening, as the live show seats fill fast.
