Rooted in the street not only as a physical setting but as a philosophy, his practice is built on direct encounter, unpredictability, and shared presence. In this context, street magic moves beyond entertainment and becomes a language of connection, capable of existing wherever people gather, pause, and remain open to the unexpected.

Mattia Bidoli, known on stage as Flip, is an Italian magician and World Champion of Street Magic.

His work spans street performance, theatre, and international festivals, while also extending into some of the most challenging environments imaginable, including hospitals, refugee camps, prisons, and active conflict zones.

His performances are conceived as journeys rather than fixed shows. Each one is shaped by what he has encountered, collected, and been given along the way stories, gestures, objects, and moments drawn from different countries and cultural contexts. These elements come together to form an experience that is responsive, human, and collective, inviting audiences to participate rather than observe.

Through this approach, magic becomes a tool for attention and proximity, creating spaces where curiosity, trust, and wonder can emerge naturally, regardless of place or circumstance.
