His forebearers: Authors, philosophers, showmen... at the age of nine however, he starts to perform magic. Two decades later the self-taiught magician seeks his first contact with fellow magicians and presents his style of magic at a competition of a magic conference. He gained first prize as the most effective presentation to the audience.

Since the year 2000 he has been working on Quick Change projects and has been involved internationally with projects for fellow magicians. Apart from special clothing Lex Schoppi developed colour change bow ties, ties and scarves which were distributed worldwide to magic dealers.

After a two year delay in September 2003 his German language book on this subject he published himself, as no other publisher wanted to touch it. Despite being published in German, this book was sold all over the continent and was considered a top secret. Some of the techniques described in the book were deemed as a "revolution" by significant Quick Change artists.

In 2005 the British illusionist Lee Alex translated his book, whose content was largely expanded. The international crème de la crème of the art of illusion praised this new book in the highest esteem. Magic specialist magazines gave very positive reviews. The book was considered one of the most comprehensive works which had ever been written on this subject; collectors call it a "major book". Half of the first publication was sold on the day it appeared.

Since 2006 he has been travelling internationally under the name of LEX + ALINA with 10 Haute Couture costumes. As the only woman in the world his stage partner Alina has mastered the costume change in one second whilst bound. The costume changes of LEX + ALINA are among the quickest and most difficult in the world. In November 2006 both artists appeared as the finale of the "International Stars of Magic and Variety" gala show in London, 2007 they become the magic award "Golden Magica" and 2008 they are in Germany "Artists of the Year".
