LEVITATION - RENATO BOARETTO (2005) C’est au cours de l’année 2005, que j’ai passé commande d’un automate effectuant un tour de magie, auprès de Renato Boaretto, maitre d’art automatier. Il m’a proposé une lévitation. Il avait déjà réalisé 2 automates de ce type : en 1996 pour un musée au Japon et un autre pour un particulier français. Ce dernier exemplaire a été acheté aux enchères à Chartes il y a plusieurs années. Il fait actuellement parti de la collection personnel de David Copperfield, l’illusioniste américain. http://www.forbes.com/pictures/ekhf45eilme/levitation-automaton/ L’avantage d’avoir le dernier exemplaire, c’est que les mouvements ont été améliorés et que la hauteur de lévitation est plus importante (dixit Mr Boaretto). C’est donc le 3eme et dernier exemplaire, Renato Boaretto ayant pris définitivement sa retraite. Les costumes ont été réalisés par Catherine Rivière. En 2006, Renato Boaretto me livrait l’automate.
