Collection: Phedon Bilek

Phedon Bilek is a Greek businessman who divides his life between Cameroon, where he was born and raised, and Greece, where he chose to settle in 1999 after his studies in France and the UK, and his national service.

He has always been fascinated by magic and turned to mentalism in 2006—after being a purely no-gimmick, sleight-of-hand magician—keeping the same philosophy: minimalistic, no-gimmick, pure sleight-of-mind. He places emotions at the center of his performances to establish a real connection with his participants. Before attempting to deceive the senses, Phedon wants to touch the soul.

This can be seen throughout his work, especially in Sibyl, where he introduced his style and philosophy to the community. His projects Orion, then Orpheus, reveal the tools he has been using for years to achieve his objective: be real. He is currently working on his next project, Janus, co-authored with his good friend and fellow mentalist Konstantin Romanos, which will focus primarily on reading systems and will include his own prop-less name guess.
