At The Belgian Touch, we love to play with technology. We integrate artificial intelligence into our shows, whether in close-up or on stage, to create digital and interactive magic that amazes the audience… and sometimes even the robots. To prove it, we conducted an experiment: describing our wildest illusions to ChatGPT. Verdict? Even the AI struggles to keep up! Here are 7 illusions that leave ChatGPT without an explanation (and it makes us laugh a lot).


  • The coin passes through the table
    ChatGPT: “Double bottom or magnet.”
    → No tablecloth, no magnet. Just wide-open eyes.
  • A phone ends up in a balloon
    ChatGPT: “Trick balloon or quick exchange.”
    → It was the CEO's real phone. And we never touched it.
  • Levitation in the middle of a cocktail
    ChatGPT: "Perspective play."
    → They were 1 metre away. And they filmed it from all angles.


AI-enhanced magic is our specialty.

We love to challenge logic, surprise humans and artificial intelligences, and prove that there are still mysteries that even ChatGPT cannot unravel. With The Belgian Touch, magic remains a playground where technology enhances emotion and effects … and where the impossible always stays one step ahead.
