LEX SCHOPPI & ALINA - A SHORT PROFILE

In the summer of 2002 Lex Schoppi met his stage partner Alina. In 2003 the pair began developing their duo presentation and converted French haut couture from Dior and other top designers. They established themselves with their performance abroad in Europe.

By 2006 they had a quick change act with 10 designer costumes and 14 effects. Six months later a sensational turn of events: They were the closing act of the "Best of International Magic & Variety" in London. No German had appeared for five years and the international specialist press reported in words and pictures about this unusual magic duo. The specialist magazine "Simsalabim" quickly dubbed them "one of the best quick change acts in the world".

Long before they became known in Germany Lex Schoppi and Alina were already a spectacular closing act in top-class gala shows in foreign magic conventions and art festivals. They were the first German artists to open the Magic Festival "Firá Magica" in Northern Spain. The press became curious about them and this was followed by invitations from the world of politics and an appearance at the Media Ball. The couple was booked for the gala show of the Southern German Championships by the Magic Circle of Germany and this was followed by another offer for the German Championships at the National Convention. In the summer of 2008 Lex Schoppi and Alina held a big seminar in the style of a show in front of approximately one thousand magicians amongst which were many top names. Their biggest live performance was in front of more than 42,000 spectators at an open air festival in the framework of a television program.

Lex Schoppi & Alina have been awarded with several gold prizes for entertainment and were the first German magic duo to be presented by the leading magazine for magicians and mentalists in Europe, "Magicseen". The magazine gave them the title "world's leading Quick Change Artistes" and devoted a full four page report to the magic duo. In 2008 the official institution of the international professional association for show and entertainment arts bestowed upon them the title "Artists of the Year" in the category "Best Transformation Show". One month later they were in the biggest European Circus-TV-Show.
