Luis Boyano is a magician and psychologist, and he combines both knowledge for the show, motivational workshops, and all those circumstances that occur in existence. Winner of a world magic award by the International Federation of Magical Societies, he is humble, talkative, and remembers his beginnings as a mime in Retiro back in 1984. You can see him at the Victoria Theater, or find him in Chamberí, one of its neighborhoods. Dilects. Furthermore, this man, born in La Cañiza, in Pontevedra in 1961, is a magician in gerund; that is, he does not stop studying what he calls “magical culture.” He loves the mountains of Madrid as a certain Felipe II already saw, and sees how telluric the mountain soils are. The sun in Madrid seems like a miracle to him, as does the green of the city, of the region. He criticizes, however, that the city provokes a certain aggressiveness in the population because of the very natural reason for “making a living.” It is true that the magical component of Madrid, in his opinion, has been disappearing in recent years. He accuses that it may be a matter of haste. Of the nomadism of the bear and the strawberry tree in Puerta del Sol, Puerta del Sol itself has a negative opinion. With his wand, he would make the noise disappear.Related News standard SETTLER Si Leo Rivera (‘Seven Lives’): “By chance, since there are so many, in Madrid you find wonderful people” Jesús Nieto Jurado De Talavera, has spent his entire life in a Madrid which for him is magical because of its people, because of the theaters and because of La Elipa—You are a magician and psychologist. Not a psychomagus, but, listen, as an expert in the mind, give me an x-ray of the Madrid native. A psychological report, wow.—People are very crazy. (Laughs). No, man. What I would say is that people, due to pressure from the city, are a little aggressive because they have to earn a living. —I don’t know if illusionists make reports, but I ask you for another one from your different condition. —Madrid is magical and the people of Madrid are magical. In these last eight or ten years a lot has changed, that’s true.—For better or worse?—For me, for worse. Too many tourists come in a hurry so as not to soak up the city. You come to a tourist apartment, and without that, as I said, of soaking up the capital.—How does one soak up the streets of Madrid?—Knowing that we have a wonderful Lavapiés, we have a wonderful Chamberí, a neighborhood of the Austrias where I have lived splendidly for many years. And if you want to do a park route we have the Retiro park and everything that is the West park. And that green of Madrid…—The green of Madrid?—Not many cities in Europe have the green of Madrid. I am lucky to live in an area, Los Peñascales, between Torrelodones and Las Rozas, and there is greenery there that there is not in my own Galician town. We also enjoy a fantastic and wonderful mountain range that people have not discovered yet. But you go down the boulevards, down any street in Chamberí, and there are trees everywhere. And then there is the Casa de Campo, which we have not mentioned. —What is telluric, mysterious about the mountain range? Felipe II already saw that…—You just have to go up Abantos, sit in the Chair of Felipe II, and see all the green. Or to the Canto del Pico and contemplate seven or eight towns surrounded by greenery.—And the city, is it magical?—Yes. First, there is a lot of green as we were talking about. Second, the illumination of that almost always bright sun is there. If it snows it’s fantastic. It’s just that I, being Galician, try to escape from so much rain and fog. Or I escaped from other things, but I wanted to come here to train as an artist and I found here what the Sun is. For me, the Sun was the true discovery of Madrid.—What can a magician contribute to the capital?—Or rather, What can Madrid give to a magician? I don’t know what a magician can give to Madrid. —Don’t answer me in the Galician way or make me escape, I beg you.—Well, I don’t know. In Madrid there are magicians, many and very good. —He escaped. Well next. Is it a trick that Madrid is the capital without a great river, without a great port that connects it with the world?—Before, Valladolid was… And it is the center, and with Kilometer 0 everything starts. It leaves until a new year.—By the way, what do you think of Puerta del Sol?—It used to have a bear and a strawberry tree, which has now been moved I don’t know how many times, which is a shame and sadness, and they have made it ugly. Before it had fantastic and divine streetlights. And now there is a glass that looks like the Louvre. —Is the Madrid native gullible?—It doesn’t depend on Madrid. It depends on the personality. There are some who get carried away and others who have a more Cartesian mentality. Those are the ones who later become fascinated, because they know that they cannot discover the magic.—Will you return to Galicia?—I will return to Galicia whenever my family is there. —How does an illusionist spend his day in Madrid? —There is a lot of office work, promotion. Prepare performances and also dedicate a part to magical study. Due to magical culture one is always studying. —With a click, what would make it disappear?—The noise. The rush.
